London is the largest urban area in the United Kingdom, having an extremely diverse range of cultures and religions in its population, where over 300 languages are spoken. It is not difficult to appreciate the extent of London’s cultural appeal from Oxford Street and Camden to Shoreditch and Brixton.

It boasts four World Heritage Sites: The Tower of London; Westminster; The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; and the settlement of Greenwich. And having many royal palaces and residences, no hen party in London would be complete without the anticipation of spotting one of our handsome royal Princes around town.

Central London is one of the world's three largest financial centres, the others being New York and Tokyo, with financial transactions including fund-management and foreign equities trading. It also has the world's largest insurance market, the leading exchange for dealing in non-precious metals, the largest spot gold and gold lending markets, the largest ship broking market, and innumerable foreign banks and investment houses. London's new financial and commercial hub is the Docklands area in East London. The UK’s national government resides in the City of Westminster, housed within the glorious buildings of the Houses of Parliament.

The city’s appeal is enhanced by having the River Thames winding its way through the centre, allowing for superb walks or even better, sight-seeing on the water enjoying a glass of wine or dinner on one of the many boat trips on offer.

The West End is London’s main entertainment and shopping district. As proud as we are of our heritage and monarchy, your London hen parties absolutely must involve a spot retail indulgence. There is no doubt you can shop till you drop in the West End, collapsing finally at one of its many sassy bars and restaurants.

If you like to dream of being rich and famous, why not hop in a taxi down to West London, one of the most fashionable and expensive residential areas in Europe, where Knightsbridge, Notting Hill and Chelsea are to be found.

Of course, no weekend away within the British Isles would be complete without paying due consideration to our inclement weather. London has a temperate climate like the rest of the United Kingdom, the warmest month being July. As it is such a large city however, it does have its own microclimate making it markedly warmer than the rest of England, especially in the Underground where temperatures are ten percent higher than above ground – particularly unpleasant on a hot summer’s day!
