Central London is now largely back to normal following the New Year's Eve celebrations. While some officers are standing down, others will remain on duty across all 32 boroughs responding to any incidents and keeping people safe.
This is the last planned update. We wish everyone a very Happy New Year.

The policing operation for New Year's Eve is now well into the dispersal phase with the areas around the Embankment and Trafalgar Square now largely clear.
The area around Waterloo remains very busy. We'd recommend using an alternate route home if one is available to you.

A reminder that the central London fireworks are fully sold out.
Please be aware of scammers trying to sell fraudulent tickets. We've just arrested three people doing so near Trafalgar Square.
