A Guide To Your London Hen Party

Where to Drink in London

Where are the best bars for a London hen party? Answer: literally everywhere. It's a tough process narrowing it down, but with 24-hour tubes, the city is your oyster. Mayfair is expensive, but it has the ultimate class factor if you're not scared of cash splashing. It is your party, after all!
Soho is trendy and a hub for the coolest bars. There's a great range of gay nightlife and buzzing cocktail lounges.
East London is a hipster paradise Hackney, Shoreditch and Dalston all ready to explore. The bars around here are always bustling and a social media lover's heaven.
Camden boasts a boho vibe and we're obsessed with the string of dive bars. Also, you cannot move for craft beer down by the lock. Kensington is chic with sparkles and speakeasies. Every bar is either sun-lit and bright or low-lit and sleek. The yin and yang of London nightlife can be found here

Sights & Sounds

Sights - London, baby! If it's culture you're after, then you can tourist yourselves happy in the beautiful V&A Museum, which has plenty of design and fashion exhibits for on-trend hens to admire.
Or if you're totally new to the capital then start at Trafalgar Square, then wander down Whitehall (past Horse Guards Parade, Downing Street, War Rooms, Cenotaph, etc.), where you'll arrive at Parliament Square. Here you'll find the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Looking for the London Eye and the Thames? Just walk 50 yards to the right!

Sounds - For a trendy, stylish night out you should head to Fabric, where you can witness some of London's top DJs and party in state-of-the-art, neon-lit surrounds with the city's fashionistas. Or, of course, you can pay the Ministry of Sound.
For more laid back sounds, head to Covent Garden and bask in the sun to the stylings of street performers or you can turn around the corner and into the West End for some show-stopping musical acts.

Best Shopping Spots

Camden Market - Camden has long been a hotbed of London's fashion and music. As well as great clothes you'll find cool bars and great eats.
Covent Garden - Prices are what you would expect in this tourist Mecca but there are few trendier spots on the streets of London town.
Portabello Market - Well worth a wander for hens who love to shop. Clothes, antiques and bric-a-brac all rub shoulders in this bustling market.
Carnaby Street - THE place to shop in the sixties, Carnaby Street still houses some of London's coolest designers.
Oxford Street - The name is simply synonymous with shopping. But be warned, it could be damaging to your credit card's health.

Getting Around London

Despite its size, London is surprisingly easy to navigate. If you're not too familiar with the underground you can pick up maps at most West End stations. An Oyster Card or Travelcard allows you access to London's buses, underground, overground and DLR. For extra laughs why not hop on a Boris bike?
Please note; Most of our London accommodation is right in the heart of the city so everything you need is close at hand. If you decide to get a cab always go for a licensed black cab as many unlicensed taxis do prowl the streets.

Fancy a "knees up" in good old London Town?

A London hen party has got to be close to the pinnacle of pre-nuptial partying, it's impossible to imagine the girls won't love it! There are some of the best shopping opportunities in the world, the top restaurants in the UK have made their home here, and between the pulsing nightlife and the huge variety of activities and events, a well prepared hen party in London can be the celebration of the century!

Maidens in Chelsea...

Have you seen the size of the city? It's huge! One of the biggest in the world, not just in the UK. Take a look at our activity suggestions for an idea of what the big city has to offer - we've got over 75 options listed for you and the girls! A program including a dance work out, lunch on a Thames cruise, and a cocktail mixing session still leaves you plenty of time to squeeze in a stroll round the shops or sight seeing Sunday morning... unless you'd rather end the weekend with a spa visit to rest your feet!

Where the stars come out at night...

There's an enormous and remarkable variety of enticing venues throughout the capital, from the sleek haunts of Soho to Leicester Square's buzzing bars and restaurants to the cool Shoreditch clubs. You can take a limo from the hotel and arrive at an award-winning bar for early evening drinks, before heading off for dinner in a fabulous restaurant, then finish the evening at a megaclub to dance until the early hours. Alternatively, you might fancy a few laughs at a comedy show, a trip to the theatre, horse racing, cabaret, or a naughty male strip show... and that's just off the top of our heads! Or you can just spend the evening celeb spotting in the glitzy West End.

Heading into the city...

There are six airports in London, and buses run between the airports frequently, so international hens, or those coming from the other end of the UK, won't have trouble getting in. It's also very easy to get in and around the city by train, as it runs networks all across the UK. Coaches in to Victoria Coach station are cheap when booked in advance, and while they take substantially longer than the train, they can save you a lot in terms of ticket price. Driving around London can be tricky, but if you do decide to cough up the congestion charge, head towards the M25, which circles the whole of Greater London.

The Grand Hotels

There's no two ways about it, despite having a huge number of hotels, the better accommodation can be expensive. Location is important but it doesn't have to be a deal breaker, you definitely want to be central but the tube central covers a big area. The most important thing is that whatever budget you have you and the girls are in a favourable neighbourhood. You've also got to think about how you're arriving, for example, do you want to be near a train station, would direct access to the airport be useful, do you need parking? If you click through to our London hen party houses page, you'll find the list of options from hand picked hostels right through to 5 star hotels. The company originally started out in Covent Garden, London WC2 and with over a decade's experience in organising hen weekends in London almost weekly throughout the year, we're clued up on where to stay and where to get the best value for our groups.

Shop until you drop...

One of Europe's mighty shopping Meccas, From the luxuries of Harrods, Harvey Nicks, Fortnum & Mason, and Selfridges to huge modern shopping centres like Westfield, and renowned retail giants like Oxford Street, Bond Street, and Kings Road. Don't overlook the charismatic and quirky markets like Portobello Road, Camden Market, and Brick Lane for whimsical, colourful and creative finds. Borough Market is great for food, and a tasty place to visit for breakfast Sunday morning too. A London hen do needs a little down time to avoid overwhelming the guests, so delight the girls with a few hours of retail therapy!
