Swan, Shakespeare’s Globe

London

Adjacent to Shakespeare’s Globe and with enormous windows overlooking the majestic dome of St Paul’s, there are few better places to watch London’s New Year’s Eve fireworks display. Start your evening in the upstairs restaurant, a long room with exposed wooden flooring, dove-grey sofas and friendly, discreet service. Chef Allan Pickett’s menus are grounded in modern British flavours. Think earthy truffled velouté of celeriac and fillet of Hereford beef drizzled with a rich Burgundy sauce. Once you’ve had your fill, head to the downstairs bar for dancing and cocktails.
