Reconnaissance: New Year's Eve at London's Hippest parties

How was your New Year's Eve? Most of us had a great time, no matter what club you went to, how much you drank and how much you danced and chatted. New Year's Eve always feels special -- today we are looking back at one of the biggest nights of the year for London nightclubs, checking out the merriment that was had at some of London's hippest and most happening clubs.
Abbey Bar and Club
Best known for Soul Saturdays, Abbey bar and club was a very chill place to be on New Year's Eve this year! Tunes by Luther Vandross, Rihanna, Black Eyed Peas, and the most nostalgic performer of the year, Michael Jackson -- still here in spirit. The vibe was very happy, very bouncy, and very friendly … more than a little kissy, as well, when midnight rolled around! The party kicked on 'til just after 3 a.m., although doors officially shut at 3.
Winter Wonderland Party at Chloe in Kensington
There is no London nightclub more sophisticated than Chloe in Kensington -- a nice easy place for people to chat, meet, and share their hopes for the New Year. Chloe is a very dark, safe-feeling club -- there was never a hint of ill-will this NYE, just good ties to be had by all. Music covered all the pop classics … even the cynics could be found singing along!
The Living Room's W1
Glam was back with a vengeance in the West End -- from gleefully overdone hair to true elegance, you could find a range of glam at The Living Room W1 this year. The club is only a 5-minute walk from Piccadilly or Oxford Circus station, so we had quite a few responsible drinkers show up. Soul and club classics defined the feel of the night at this London nightclub -- Jacko and Madge made a few appearances, to many shouted lyrics, and Lady Gaga and Rihanna kept it contemporary.
