Amazing experience at the Travel Cafe! Kevin was very responsive and allowed us to have a sip and paint hen party here which worked out great! We were allowed to bring food and drink and decorate the place as long as it was cleaned up after. It's a beautiful venue and, as the cafe wasn't open yet, we had the whole place to ourselves. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Here are some tips for making sure your hen party stands out:
- Plan ahead by booking an activity (or activities) that matches the bride’s personality and interests. Have a theme–it doesn't have to be too elaborate, but having a theme for your hen party will help everyone get into the spirit of things and make it feel more like an event than just another night out.
- Choose things to do that are fun for everyone on the guest list—the rest of the guests are just as important as the bride-to-be.
- Make sure everyone has access to transportation from the venue to the activity, whether that means offering rides or arranging for taxis or public transit.
- Take pictures with everyone dressed up in their bachelorette outfits. If you don't want to spend money on an outfit for each person (or if there aren't enough), pick out one that's super cute and get everyone else to wear something complementary (like tiaras).
- Make sure everything is ready when you arrive at the venue, or at least when the bride arrives!

Your Guide to Booking Hen Party Activities in London
Planning must-have activities and trying to blend a mix of friends, aunties and long-lost second cousins, all while keeping the bride happy, can feel a little overwhelming. But don’t stress. Here at Tagvenue we’ve rounded up the city’s best hen party night ideas, from luxurious Thames river boats to next-level cocktail masterclasses. Popular hen party ideas include:
Food and drink:
Some of the best hen parties in London are centred around delicious food and drinks. Cooking classes, cocktail masterclasses, tea parties, and pub crawls are all popular selections. For a more bespoke cocktail-making experience, check out the special hen party packages, where you can sample an awesome range of different cocktails before being challenged to make your own.
We know hen parties can be a chore to organise, so why not go on an organised hen party pub crawl, where you’ll be taken to a variety of bars around London and enjoy free entry, drinks, private areas, photo booths, and accessories? If you’d like to hold a more relaxed affair, then there’s also the option of enjoying a delicious afternoon tea, with decorated tables, chandeliers, and a whole range of delicious sandwiches, cakes and fancies served on vintage china platters.
Private parties:
On a night as special as this, you may want to party in your own private space, which can be easily found in London. If you are a lover of karaoke, rent out your own private room and take your pick from over 16,000 songs, order drinks from your own private bar, and sample a range of delicious tapas.
For something more unique, take a look at a VIP bus service that will make for an unforgettable hen weekend. The double-decker bus will whisk you around all corners of London city centre while handing out complimentary champagne and cocktails and pumping tunes of your choice from its inbuilt DJ booth. If you’re hitting the waters, you can command your own small boat and explore London’s canal network with a delicious picnic and free choice of alcoholic beverages (but not for the driver!)
Sports:
Looking for more non-traditional hen party ideas? How about giving some sports a try? Across London, there are some great activities to get you moving, including dance, bowling, and various ball games. How about a round of mini-golf? Puttshack Bank will allow you to have a nice round of the game without having to sacrifice the pub experience. With so many private rooms available for hire, this place is perfect for both small and large groups.
Chilled-out activities:
Looking for hen party ideas that suit a more relaxed crowd or bridal shower? She's Lost Control is a wellness studio where you can host a celebratory yoga session and make the future bride feel pampered. Alternatively, if you’d like to watch your favourite films in trendy and ambient surroundings, Whirled Cinema is the perfect place to do so, giving you a number of flexible time-slots, as well as providing catering and drinks.
Hen weekend/hen party abroad:
Book a stylish or unique hotel and make a weekend of it! Spa weekend is also a popular option. Is there anything better than an indulgent pamper session with your BFFs?

Verified Reviews of Hen Party Activities in London
Perfect for a small hen do. Booking this space was very easy, the communication was great from the venue regarding deposits, pre-order options and the space it’s self. The staff were very friendly and happy to help us especially with the tv and sound. It was a beautiful setting, the room was set out with tables and chairs ready for us to decorate. We pre-ordered drinks and they were already in the fridge, there were glasses, straws, bottle openers everything you need to serve yourself. We order food for the small group, the starter portions were a good size and cost for money. Overall a lovely venue and perfect for what we wanted.
The correspondence with Jared was fantastic from the team. The room was slightly darker and smaller in real life than the photos - however it’s a lovely space and location. The staff were lovely and set up everything as requested. The projector and screen and sound system were excellent. The service was great - and the food was good - not amazing but good! Drinks were great. Bar staff were really helpful and friendly (Ruth and Clare). Annalisa the manager was also lovely! It’s a great central location with everything you need. And the team were very accommodating. Thank you!
Ryan and the team couldn't have done more for us. They were very accommodating and even let me use on of their old laptops for a PowerPoint we put together when we found out that a USB couldn't be used on the TV, which would have left me with a very upset Bridesmaid! They made sure we were happy with the room set up and checked on us throughout the booking, brining up drinks as a when needed. We are so thankful for the amazing service, it really made a great day perfect. They were also on hand to clean up a few broken glasses... sorry about that! I just want to say really really big thank you. We were quite a loud group and you were very patient and kind to us. I would definitely recommend you guys in future.
We had an incredible time for my sisters hen do and booked the roof space for a Barbie themed brunch. The venue staff were amazing from booking to the party itself. They allowed us to come early to decorate, were very friendly and they were so organised bring out the food and drinks. Its a stunning roof space our only slight negative was that it was very warm up there - but it was a very warm day. Thanks for making my sisters hen do so special - the food was amazing we will definitely be going back.
Marco service is simply amazing! He answered my multiple queries and phone calls within the hour and always accommodated any last minute queries, even at 12am in the morning. The venue is private, vintage type styled venue in a great location, providing us with the keys was a plus as we were able to come and go as we pleased. Marco, I sincerely thank you again, for allowing my friends and I too use your venue you were extremely accommodating even when our stripper ran late you very kindly allowed us to stay a little longer without any problems.
The layout of the venue was really versatile and adaptable for our needs. We hosted a hen party with a wine tasting and a glitter make up artist within the space. Having access to all the glasses was really good too. Location was fab The member of staff who met us (Sorry i cant remember his name!) was really helpful and helped me set up the youtube for the Mr and Mrs game.
Amazing The Hen actually cried with happiness when she seen it. Elizabeth was amazing she always answered any questions I had straight away. It was perfect. There was 17 of us in total and plenty of room to dance. The speaker was loud and sounded great. It was definitely the highlight of the Hen.
