London Hen Party Ideas

For extra special hen weekends, London is the ultimate hen party destination. Whether you like culture, shopping or nightlife, London will spoil you rotten!

If you fancy taking a whistlestop tour of London to get your bearings, an open top bus tour is the best way to decide what you want to see. From Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London, the city is filled with magnificent historical buildings and museums; Royal Family fans will have a field day!

For those art lovers in your group, heading to Trafalgar Square to look at the old masters in the National Gallery is a must-do, as is the National Portrait Gallery housed just next door. Modern art fans should make a beeline for the Tate Modern in Pimlico to see some of the UK’s past Turner Prize winners. History fans can make a trip to the British Museum in Bloomsbury, and then head to Kensington to see the V&A and the Science Museum.

No matter what your budget, London’s shops will have something for you. From the tailors and designers housed in Savile Row and Bond Street to the high street fashion of Oxford Street, central London offers a huge range of shopping opportunities including Selfridges. Even if your budget doesn’t stretch to a purchase, Harrods is well worth a browse. To catch some of the up and coming designers take a trip to the East End of London around the Brick Lane area where retro, vintage and quirky fashion are the order of the day. Of course, no trip to London is complete without a wander around Covent Garden, where you can take a break from shopping, have a coffee and watch the legendary street performers ply their trade.

Whether you are into rock ‘n’ roll, classical music, jazz or opera, London’s music scene has it all! For musical theatre fans, the West End theatres provide a host of productions from time honoured favourites like The Lion King and Phantom of the Opera to newer productions like the Hurly Burly Show. For cut price tickets head to the Half-Price Ticket Hut in Leicester Square where you can pick up a bargain West End ticket. Jazz fans are well catered for in the capital which is home the famous Ronnie Scott’s, and rock fans can head down to the Marquee Club for some heavy metal. Cabaret and burlesque fans have a host of venues to visit from Volupte to Proud Cabaret, where you can dine and watch the best in the business strut their stuff.

London’s nightlife is as eclectic as its people. From vintage inspired swing nights to techno clubs there really is something for everyone in London. That’s where Charm School shimmy in! Kick start your hen weekend with a Charm School dance lesson and then hit the tiles with your brand new moves. Whether you love to can-can, go-go or perform a little burlesque, our fun-filled, feel-good dance classes are perfect for your hen weekend. London really has the perfect venue for every hen party.

Whether you like to sip cocktails in Chelsea, have a pint in Soho or have a quiet gin and tonic in a riverside bar in Putney, you can find it all in London. Aside from the West End, Chelsea and Soho, London’s East End is fast becoming the place to be seen. The Shoreditch and Brick Lane areas of London are home to the hippest bars in town, housing venues like the Brickhouse, part of the old Truman Brewery; you will find the quirkiest venues (and people) here.
