This is the ultimate free spot—if you’re brave. Waterloo Bridge runs right next to the London Eye. You’ll be that close to the fireworks. The downside? Police often close it early if it gets too packed. But if you snag a spot by 9 p.m., you’ll feel like you’re inside the show.
Funny detail: the bridge shakes. Seriously. When the fireworks detonate, the concrete vibrates under your feet. It’s like standing on a giant subwoofer. Bring earplugs if you’re sensitive. Or embrace the deafening boom.
