☘️ Best places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in London 🇮🇪

The celebrations start on Sunday 16 March with the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, beginning at Hyde Park Corner and finishing at Trafalgar Square, where the festival continues with live Irish music, dance and food stalls.

On 17 March, the party continues across London with some of the best pub crawls in:
🍻 Soho – famous for its lively Irish pubs
🍻 Camden – great for live music and a young crowd
🍻 Temple Bar (Camden) – one of the most popular Irish pubs in the area
🍻 Waxy O’Connor’s (Soho) – a legendary Irish pub for St. Patrick’s Day

From the parade to the pub crawl, London is one of the best places to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. ☘️

Game night at SmartHostels 🎲

Nothing breaks the ice faster than a round of Pick Your Poison or Taboo. Strangers become teammates, laughter gets louder, and suddenly the whole room is playing along.

Whether you’re guessing words, defending your wild choices, or just enjoying the chaos, game night is where hostel friendships begin.

Who’s ready for the next round? 👀

🎆 London NYE Fireworks, Free Viewing Spots 🎆
No ticket? You’re still in luck. Here’s where to catch the fireworks without paying a penny 👇

✨ Close Views (Busy but unforgettable):
📍 Lambeth Bridge & Vauxhall Bridge
The closest non-ticketed views with an electric atmosphere. Very cold, very crowded, arrive early (around 4–5 PM).

📍 Southwark Bridge
⚠️ Has been closed in previous years due to crowd safety. Check before heading out!

📍 Horse Guards Road & Parliament area
Central viewing points, but expect strict crowd control and limited access.

🌆 Distant Views (More relaxed):
📍 Alexandra Palace (Ally Pally)
Top-tier skyline views and a calmer vibe — perfect for seeing the whole city light up. #visitlondon #hostellife #smarthostels #seemycity #nye
