Planning a Hen Party in London

Planning a Hen Party In London

London is a hen party hotspot because of the vast amount it has to offer. Whatever you are into you will be sure find something to do, from top clubs to cocktail bars, musical theatre shows to concerts - there really is something for all hen groups in the Capital City!
However, the beauty of London’s versatile nature comes at price. With so much to do it is a worry how you will fit all your plans into one weekend! This is why this easy to read guide has been put together to help hens remain calm and steer clear of the headless chicken approach!

Hotels

If you are travelling to London for a weekend then you will want to carefully consider what sort of hotel you will be staying in. There are plenty of cheap options across the city, from Holiday Inns to privately owned B&BS, so you will be sure to find somewhere to rest your weary soul after a long weekend even on a budget!
But if it is glamour that you are after (and who doesn’t want glamour on their hen night?) then there are plenty of boutique hotels to consider to. The MyHotel brand has hotels in both Bloomsbury and Chelsea; these are some of my favourite hotels in the whole country! There are also a good few Hilton hotels across the city centre to indulge in!
One thing to be sure of when booking a hotel is not to leave it until the last minute. If there are lots of you then you will want to ensure you are all in the same hotel. Also, base the location of the hotel around where you want to be on your night out so that you are not faced with extra taxi costs!

Restaurants

It is no surprise that London is incredibly fashionable for restaurants. Chefs flock to London to gain the exposure they need to gain credibility. There are tonnes are celebrity chef restaurants dotted around town, including Heston Blumenthal’s unique Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge which will most definitely impress any hens!
If you are looking at a tighter budget but still want something trendy then the hot to trot trend of gourmet burger and hot dog restaurants are really blooming across London. The Meatliquor chain is fantastic for cheap eats, delicious burgers and unbelievable sides. The grease will also help soak up any possible hangovers! Bubbledogs, another super trendy London restaurants, combines the owners love of both hot dogs and champagne so if you are still looking for a classy affair this is perfect for you!
As with the hotels ensure you plan and book ahead to avoid disappointment. Also make the restaurant decision as a group so to make sure everybody is happy with the food choice!

Activities

There is so much to do in London that you may get caught up in it all! When planning either day or night time activities it is important to plan carefully. There are lots of art galleries and exhibitions on in London all year round so be sure to check out what’s going on before heading to the city. There is also an abundance of World class theatre shows that make a wonderful night out. If you are feeling a little more proactive then why not combine the traditional favourite element of a hen party - drinking - with something a little educational? Cocktail making sessions are available at a number of sophisticated bars. You and your group will be taught the art of mixology whilst enjoying your own creations
