London’s 2025 New Year’s Fireworks

Well, welcome to 2025! The New Year’s Eve fireworks display in London last night was nothing short of spectacular. It was a jaw-dropping extravaganza that has been hailed by many as the best we’ve seen since the early 2000s. The vibrant colors, perfectly timed choreography, and sheer scale of the event were a feast for the senses—a visual symphony set against the backdrop of the city’s iconic landmarks. Yet, while the display dazzled millions, it also raised a critical question: Was it worth the price tag?

A Record-Breaking Cost

This year’s fireworks display wasn’t just the most impressive in recent memory; it was also the most expensive in London’s history. Reports suggest that the cost ballooned to several million pounds, a staggering figure for a 15-minute spectacle. This comes at a time when the UK is grappling with a historic economic downturn—soaring inflation, rising living costs, and widespread financial anxiety.

For many, the fireworks’ dazzling beauty couldn’t quite outshine the shadow of its price tag. Critics argue that such an extravagant display feels tone-deaf given the current climate. Shouldn’t those millions have been redirected to address urgent issues, like funding food banks or supporting struggling small businesses? It’s a valid point that underscores the tension between public spectacle and public responsibility.

A Much-Needed Morale Boost

On the other hand, defenders of the event highlight its symbolic importance. New Year’s Eve has always been about hope, renewal, and looking forward to brighter days. After years of pandemic disruptions and economic uncertainty, perhaps Londoners needed a moment of collective joy and awe. The fireworks brought people together, reminding them of the city’s resilience and capacity for grandeur.

There’s also the argument that such events drive tourism and bolster the city’s global reputation. With millions watching from around the world, London once again cemented its status as a cultural capital—a city capable of putting on a show like no other. The economic benefits of increased tourism and global visibility could, in theory, outweigh the costs of the display itself.

Welcome to 2025: A Balancing Act

As we step into 2025, this debate over the fireworks feels emblematic of the challenges we face as a society. How do we strike a balance between investing in moments of joy and addressing pressing economic realities? Can we afford to celebrate when so many are struggling, or do we need those moments of celebration more than ever?

The fireworks were undeniably magnificent, but their legacy will be shaped not just by their beauty but by the conversations they’ve sparked. Here’s to 2025 a year where we hopefully find better ways to balance the dazzling with the practical, the extraordinary with the everyday. If last night’s display was any indication, London still knows how to inspire. Now let’s channel that inspiration into building a brighter, more balanced future.

3-2-1 Happy New Year!

This was to be the kids first New Years Eve as they have never ventured out with us which was part necessity part coming of age I guess. Tickets opened for the Fireworks display in central at the London Eye and were literally snatched up in seconds. Luckily Sancho told us the time they were opening so I was sitting at my pc as the clock struck 12 and got some. I tried to go back on and get for Jo as you could only get 4 at a time but they were already sold out! We made our way down to Waterloo at 9pm and had a beer outside the station. The crowds were starting to swell but there was a huge police presence with officers on gigantic horses walking along the roads. At the entrance we went into you needed to go through this gate and people got impatient and pushed the side gate open. Wow the coppers were having nothing of that and quickly put that to an end which made Lola very nervous and skittish but explained it was for everyone’s safety. Once we were through the gate it was I like a deserted city as the whole inner city was cordoned off and you couldn’t move around without a ticket. The white zone where we were was the smallest area as the viewing zone was off Westminster bridge to the right of the eye. It was really well organized and you could take your own food and drinks is with just no back packs. There were also so many porter potties there was hardly ever a queue. At 12 Big Ben started chiming and the spectacle began. I can’t begin to explain how insane it was. Wave after wave of colour and shape and type of firework. I was absolutely blown away and impressed. It lasted for about 8 minutes and we chilled on the Bridge for a while until the coppers linked arms and drove us off. It felt a little scary to be honest like a riot could break out at any moment but I guess that’s just the saffa in me 😂 In Morden the only place open was Fish & Kebab Lola’s favorite spot so had a dry AF falafel and called it a year. Happy new year my loves ❤️

Happy New Decade. I pray the 2020s blesses you with health and happiness, peace and prosperity. I adore fireworks and saw in 2020 at the dazzling fireworks display near where I live in central London. Over the last few weeks I've been reflecting on the decade that has passed and I am despondent I didn't achieve much of what I wanted to, in either my personal or professional life. However, people often say my expectations of myself are unrealistically high and so I am reminding myself I should be grateful for the progress I have made in the 2010s. These range, for instance, from the work I've done on myself to now be blessed with the best physical health of my adult life (zero percent pain anywhere in my body for the first time ever; 2010 metabolic age: 41, 2020 metabolic age: 32 etc.) to my entrepreneurial endeavours, topped off with my recent business exit, which provide me with ample funding for the initiatives I've been raring to get going with for, in some cases, decades. Whether I have lived up to my potential or not, I suppose the most important thing to remind myself on the first day of this new decade is I am better equipped than ever to battle the obstacles I will face. I am an older and (hopefully) wiser person. I have obsessively sought to improve myself by learning from the best and brightest minds in the world by attending 500+ classes, courses, lectures, workshops and conferences in the 2010s, as well as assiduously studying hundreds of books and articles etc., and it is now down to me and me alone to turn the best practices and theory I've been taught into action. Let's all strive towards being the most superlative version of ourselves and on 01.01.2030 have no doubt the 2020s was the most brilliant decade thusfar of our lives. "For last year's words belong to last year's language. And next year's words await another voice." - T.S.

The palm tree has made a total of 1,200 rockets weighing almost 40 tons. They have been launched from the top of Santa Bárbara Castle, illuminating the sky of the city for 20 seconds with a whitish golden tone, very clear. After the firing of this palm tree, the "cremá" of the 180 monuments began, spread over all the streets of the city. ▶️Tradicional lanzamiento de la palmera desde el Castillo Santa Bárbara de Alicante, España.
