Restaurant for New Year's Eve in London

[Yashodara]

I'm looking for a restaurant with nice atmosphere and very good food in Central London (better if walking distance to Westminster) for New Year's Eve.
Any tip?

We had a sumptuous New Year's Eve feast at Gordon Ramsay's restaurant at the Claridge four years ago. It was memorable. A magician strolled the tables (as did bagpipe players, until someone must have complained it was deafening!). It was many pounds, but it was memorable.

have a look at Gary Rhode's one in the "Gerkin" building - the food is good (you can find much better in London of course) but the view is amazing and not too far from Big Ben. There is also a champagne bar in the building - again with the views over the city.

If you are after great food first of all - then i would try something like Petrus, or Gordon Ramsay on Hospital Rd - or Gordon Ramsay in Claridges...

What kind of age group and about how many involved? Any culinary hates? Any £££ considerations? Do you want somewhere which will be jumping at midnight, or do you want to be near Big Ben/ Trafalgar Sq. by then?

Maybe Langan's in Stratton St. or somewhere good in Chinatown?

Oh yes in fact... here some more details:

We are a couple,the kind of food doesn't matter but it has to be very good. The budget is not a problem but the place has to be worth the money I spend...

For midnight we would like to go to Big Ben, so the nearest the better!

Thanks a lot for the suggestions!!
