How to Plan the Perfect Hen Do in London
Planning a hen do in London gives you almost too much to work with. The city can do classy, wild, relaxed or all three in one weekend, so the real job is shaping it around the bride rather than trying to cram everything in. Here’s how to get it right.
Start with the bride
Before you book anything, think about what she’d actually enjoy. A laid-back group might love a spa afternoon and a nice dinner, while a livelier crowd will want cocktails, dancing and a bit of a show. Matching the plan to her is what makes a hen do land.
Daytime activities
London is full of hen-friendly daytime options: cocktail-making classes, afternoon tea, life drawing, dance workshops and spa sessions. A bottomless brunch in London is a classic way to kick things off. Pick one or two rather than back-to-back activities, and leave room to breathe.
The night out
When the evening comes, the city delivers. Start with drinks at one of the city’s rooftop bars in London, line the stomach with a good dinner, then move on to a bar or club with the right atmosphere. Booking ahead is essential on weekends.
Keeping it smooth
Sort the logistics early: somewhere central to stay, a rough budget everyone’s happy with, and a loose plan people can dip in and out of. Get those right and the weekend runs itself.
