Can’t get BBC in your living room? No worries. The official Visit London YouTube channel usually streams the event live.
It’s free. It’s global. You can watch from a coffee shop in Tokyo or a basement in Ohio.
The chat is a wild ride. People from Australia, Canada, and Sweden all shouting “Happy New Year” at slightly different times. It’s chaos. Beautiful chaos.
A Fun Detail About the Stream
The stream often starts with a countdown clock. It’s just a black screen with numbers. People still watch it religiously.
When the clock hits zero, the comments explode. You get a thousand people typing “WOOOOO” at once. It feels like a digital party where nobody changes the music.
Also, the YouTube stream has no ads during the fireworks. You never get that mid-rocket commercial for cat food. Pure joy.
