London’s quirkiest New Year’s Eve parties

New Year’s Eve? It’s the biggest party night of the year, so you want to make sure it’s done right.

New Year’s Eve at Flight Club

Flight Club are offering all things games, dancing and food as part of their New Year’s Eve celebrations. For just £15? You’ll start with a glass of complimentary bubbles on arrival, enjoy 90 minutes of battling it out to become Social Darts Champion of the year, and tuck into signature sausage rolls all before hitting the dancefloor. Now that’s a pretty decent package deal if you ask us.
