    French girls coming to London for New Year's Eve

    I know there is already a thread about New Year down south but this is different

    Two gorgeous French fabulous dancer girl friends of mine are coming to London for 24 hours on December 31st and need somewhere to bring in the New Year "en dansant".

    Please advise of the best place (s) to dance in town on New Year's Eve. I promised a warm English CEROC welcome - so please don't disappoint !

    One suggestion is the Black and White Ball in Watford - not exactly central London! but easy access by train and judging by the last event a great evening and venue.

    Thanks to everyone who replied. All suggestions have been for Watford. So looks like it'll be Watford !

    They are planning to stay up all night (oh to be so young and foolish ) so any suggestions of what they can get up to after the party ? You know, a millionaire with a big house and a champagne-filled swimming pool kind of thing or a club where they can get in free cos they can do the French cancan ???

    I think it's important you post relevant pics of them.

    I don't know what the public transport will be like on NYE/NYD, but if they're planning to travel either to or from Watford from central London, it might be worth investigating timetables etc (sorry if this sounds obvious )

    Within Central London you should be ok because the tube runs all night. However they usually start shutting down the rail network from about 8:00 p.m.(assuming they hadn't already closed it to dig it up) You may be able to get back to London from Watford via the Metropolitan line, but I'd check.

    Plan to - if I can work out how to. They'll be easily recognisable with the berets and strings of onions of course

    Very sound advice. I 'm feeling quite protective of them and although I know they'll have a ball I want them to be safe above all.

    Re: French girls coming to London for New Year's Eve

    Well sorry about all that excitement chaps. My wee froggie cauliflowers aren't going to make it afterall at New Year. And there I was all set to be the fairy godmother. I suggest we tie them up and throw fish and chips at them .. and scrumpy and ... em...curry !

    PS They are planning a trip later in 2009 but they better not cry wolf !!!!

    They haven't published the NYE timetable yet - but you think the mainline Watford Junction will shut at 8pm? From past experience?

    I thought it would be 1.O7am

    Will have to check whether the the Metropolitan line is running all night, because Watford is on a sort of spur.

    For those travelling up to Watford by train - they might have to leave London earlier than planned, otherwise could end up on the tube taking a long time.

    Thanks Astro and Martingold. Sadly you must have missed my message about them no longer coming. They are missing out on soooo much but will make it for it I'm sure later in 2009 !!!!

    The Metropolitan line is running all night.

    That's Watford tube, not Watford Junction.
