Hen weekend in London

My hen night will consist of a Burlesque dance workshop in Covent Garden, followed by cocktails around town and then we're probably staying at the YHA at St Pancras as it's loads cheaper than any hotel I've found (even Travelodge is £100 per night!!).

There is sooooo much to do in London depending on your tastes. You could catch a West End theatre show, go for cocktails, there's loads of gorgeous restaurants around, I think even the London Eye do hen things! Oooh or a cruise down the Thames!

We did a pole dancing class for mine, and then followed it with dinner, drinks and dancing at Tiger Tiger.

Wouldn't recommend the Tiger Tiger bit as was too crowded, hot and expensive and cleanliness was poor (though food was cracking!) but the pole dancing was great fun!

Here is the link to the the company we used for pole dancing:

How about a champagne afternoon tea at one of the hotels like the Ritz (you'd have to book months in advance though) or there's loads of great places to get cocktails in Covent Garden or I prefer Soho.

A burlesque night is a great idea, I'm planning something similar for mine next spring.

If you go midweek the theatre tickets are so much cheaper than a weekend , you can get top price tickets from lastminute.com and loads of other sites for about a tenner.

A lot of city day spas do hen sessions/or evening sessions that are closed to the general public so it might be worth inquiring.

Afternoon Tea at The Madeville hotel is fab and cheaper than the Ritz, also is clsoe to the shops on Oxford St. The hotel is very girly and you get everything served on butterfly plates and butterfly cups. The decoration there is really funky too!

How about getting a boat down the river?

Vinopolis has been recommended to me - they do wine tasting days or cooking classes. https://vinopolis.co.uk/

And afternoon tea at the National Gallery is just as nice as the Ritz or Fortnum and Masons but much cheaper and you get a lovely view over the river.

Or dinner at the OXO tower is amazing but a little pricey and you need to book in advance.

The Sanctuary Spa is beautiful and does really good day packages but again is very pricey!

Hotel wise I don't think there is such thing as a 'cheap' hotel in London but if money is no object the Covent Garden Hotel and the Hilton at London Bridge are amazing. But if you want to spend less I would consider B&Bs.

Most museums are free so it depends what you are into but the Imperial Museum is worth a look (not sure if thats very hen-partyish though!!)

I love the London Musicals though - I would highly recommend Sister Act, Jersey Boys and Dirty Dancing - and lastminute.com often do a package for show and a dinner.
