What is the name of the London New Year's Eve fireworks event centered on the River Thames?

The London New Year's Eve fireworks event centered on the River Thames is known as the London New Year's Eve fireworks display.

The modern display is staged around central London, with fireworks launched from locations including the London Eye area and barges on the River Thames. The show is timed to midnight and is watched by crowds along the river as well as by television audiences.

Big Ben is closely associated with the countdown because the clock tower's chimes mark midnight, but the fireworks are a separate visual event. The tower itself is officially named the Elizabeth Tower, a name adopted in 2012; Big Ben technically refers to the great bell inside it.

The display became a major annual televised event in the 21st century. The exact launch points, choreography, and scale can change from year to year, while the central elements remain the Thames setting and the midnight countdown.
