This is mainly to my bridesmaids out there... The pressure is on to provide an awesome Hen do and there are so many cool things to do now. London is my favourite city in the world so I thought I'd share with you my tried and tested favourite spot!
P.s. They all (accidentally) involve alcohol. whoops.
Sketch afternoon tea
Sketch Classic Afternoon Tea, £59 per person Champagne Afternoon Tea, £73 per person
Dress code: Art smart (whatever that means)
Only THE best afternoon tea in London. Honestly, nothing like it. Even though the price seems a little excessive, the food just keeps on coming! Anything you like they top up and the service is next level. The Pink Gallery is completely Insta worthy and was designed by British artist David Shrigley. So you can be cultural while pigging out!

Tea and Crafting
Pricing depending on courses
Dress code: None
I’ve done a few workshops with them. They are based in the fabulous Covent Garden, so more than a few bars for a cheeky cocktail! They do a range of workshops from gin making to floristry courses! They supply tea, coffee and cupcakes (but they allow you to take your own fizz in). Such a fun thing to do as a group of girls and the staff are super sweet.

Bounce Pin-Pong
Pricing depending on numbers
Dress code: None
The photo doesn't do the atmosphere of this place justice. If your bride to be is a little competitive this is the one. It’s basically a bar full of the best things, ping-pong tables, canapes and cocktails. They have a bar situated in Farringdon so it’s nice and central!

Ma’Plucker
£18.50 each
Dress code: None
Situated in my favourite area of London, Soho, Ma’Pluckers is fried chicken heaven. The reason they’ve made it onto this list is down to their “Dirty Bone & Donuts Afternoon Tea” for £18.50 with a glass of fizz! If your bride isn’t a usual afternoon-tea-er this is perfect. It’s less formal and a little more fun!

May the force be with you.
