New Year's Eve in London isn't traditionally an evening given over to great food. It's more about either hiding yourself away at home whilst drunken revellers fill the streets or joining said revellers and having a very, very quiet New Year's Day as a result.

But if you've had enough of being stuck at home with the relatives and want to head into town for dinner, there are a fair few decent restaurants open for business.

Whether you're looking for bargain basement or black tie - our New Year's Eve restaurant list has it all.

Soho saving

Ducksoup on Dean Street are now taking bookings for bar and tables. They're promising live music and a late night opening on New Year's eve with a set menu of just £35. Go to their website to reserve your seat at the counter or one of their tables.
