London and Edinburgh named two of Europe's best places for New Year's Eve

The English and Scottish capitals are among the best places in the world to beckon in the new year, according to a global ranking.

Thanks to Covid, recent New Year's Eve celebrations were cancelled or paired down, not to mention that back in 2020 the virus and the deep second lockdown rendered most forms of celebrating illegal in the UK.

This December 31, two years of pent up partying are set to be released onto the streets, dance floors and festively themed pubs of the UK.
