Having known a few , it ' s more like 1 . Holy fuck , we have so much in common ! Looks didn ' t even enter into it . 2 . Your sexual preferences were irrelevant . Some find femme works for them , some butch . <| sep |> I went two years ago to the ticketed event , we stood near Embankment . We chose that side as I found the southbank side really smoky , and difficult to get transport from . I ' ve been before when it wasn ' t ticketed and it was horrendous just a crush of drunk people . I thought the ticketing worked really well there was plenty of space to sit before the fireworks and we got a great view . We got there around 10 so had a two hour wait , which I will admit got a little boring , but the crowd had a good atmosphere . Regarding the journey home , because we were on the North side of the river , we walked to Green Park to avoid the crush at Westminster . Parks are still open to walk through and tube wasn ' t any busier than usual but was full of drunk people of course . I ' d say go for it as you already have the tickets it ' s a fun experience to do once and the ticketing has made it so much more bearable .
