Give me your opinion..

It's usually a complete shambles. I doubt that this year was different
(but yes, the fireworks are good).

We used to go down for the fireworks every year until three years ago,
when (despite leaving the pub at 23:15) we were unable to get any nearer
the river than the Strand, at the Aldwych end. In previous years we'd
always managed to stand along the Embankment near to Hungerford Bridges.

The year prior to our final visit we left the Embankment as usual,
attempting to avoid Trafalgar Square and the masses by heading via
Scotland Yard and Whitehall up to Hyde Park and Edgware Road. However, on
reaching Whitehall we were herded back up and into Trafalgar Square
(no-one being allowed to head *away* from the busy areas) - the very place
that we were trying to avoid! Luckily we were able to duck around the main
flow of people and escaped down Pall Mall and into Piccadilly. For some
reason those in control seemed to be obsessed with the idea that everyone
wanted to go to Charing Cross and were forcing everyone in that direction.
It was utter mayhem, with very little movement of the crowd due to the
volume of people.

After two years of that - mainly caused by the sheer numbers and the
inability of the authorities to disperse them sensibly - we gave up. It's
easier to watch the fireworks from the comfort of an armchair, without the
worry of missing last trains home.
