Westminster Bridge, Bridge Street and Victoria Embankment have been closed to traffic since 5 o'clock and it is now 7:38pm on New Year's Eve as we look across the junction of those three streets. Revellers have been arriving ever since the road closure and there will be no available space in a couple of hours' time. As well as providing a good view of the famous clock when the vital moment arrives, this is a paerfect location from which to see the fireworks which are launched from around the London Eye on the opposite side of the Thames.
