Girls weekend in London: Where to stay, eat, drink and what to see

There’s something about arriving in London that never gets old. For me, the train from Liverpool takes just over two hours, which is close enough to do regularly, far enough to feel like an escape. Over the years I’ve been down for work, whether organising events or attending conferences, and now I commute here fortnightly myself. I work in Canary Wharf and come down for two days back to back every fortnight, which means I get an evening in the city each time, and I’ve made a point of using them well. My personal trips have ranged from visiting friends who lived there, to girls trips, hen weekends and birthday weekends with both family and friends. Every single time I step off at Euston it hits the same way. Part of me is genuinely gutted I never had a stint living there.
That mix of work and personal visits means I’ve got to know London in a way most visitors don’t. The streets that don’t make the guidebooks, the restaurants worth booking months ahead, the bars that are actually worth the queue. And if you’re ever looking for tips specifically on Canary Wharf, where to eat, drink and make the most of the area, I will have a dedicated guide for that too soon.
Whether you’re looking for girls weekend London ideas for a first visit or you’ve been before and want something genuinely specific, this guide is built around real trips, real restaurants and real opinions. It works as a full weekend itinerary or you can lift individual sections for a day trip. The restaurant and bar recommendations in particular stand alone.
This guide covers where to stay, what to do, where to eat, which bars are worth your time, and how to fit a West End show into the mix, all from personal experience across multiple trips to one of the best cities in the world for a girls weekend.
Where to stay for a girls weekend in London
For a girls weekend in London, 📍 Covent Garden is hard to beat as a base. You’re within walking distance of the West End theatres, Soho is a short walk away for bars and nightlife, and the area itself has plenty of great restaurants and things to do. It’s central enough that you can walk to a lot without needing the tube, and when you do need the tube, you’re well connected to get anywhere in the city quickly. London’s tube network makes everywhere feel accessible regardless of where you stay, but if you want to minimise travel time and maximise the feeling of being in the middle of it all, Covent Garden is where I’d point you.
For a girls weekend specifically, staying somewhere with a good bar on site is worth prioritising, you want somewhere to start the evening and somewhere to come back to at the end of the night without needing to travel.
I stayed at the AMANO Hotel on 📍 Drury Lane and would recommend it for exactly that reason.
We paid £466 per room sleeping two for a Friday and Saturday night, reasonable for central London, particularly given the location. A few steps from Covent Garden, walking distance from the Strand, and easy to get to from Euston when you arrive.
The rooftop bar is worth knowing about specifically. It has an outside balcony with views that include the London Eye, table service throughout, and genuinely good cocktails. When we arrived at 5pm on our first evening it was quiet enough to get a table easily, by 11PM when we came back for a nightcap the DJ was on and the atmosphere was completely different. If you’re going as a bigger group, the booth tables are the ones to book, we spotted another group of girls using one as a pre night out base and it looked perfect for that.
One tip – book a table in advance if you’re planning to use the rooftop bar in the evening, particularly at weekends. Walk-ins are possible earlier in the day but not guaranteed later on.
👉 Check availability at AMANO Hotel Drury Lane on Booking.com
For breakfast, we ate at Drury 188-189 just around the corner, genuinely one of the best breakfasts of the weekend and worth knowing about if your hotel rate doesn’t include it. It is walk in’s only, and nearly always had a queue when we walked past, but it was definitely worth the wait.
Friday – Covent Garden, the Opera House and a West End Show
Arriving and checking in
Check in for most accomadation is usually from 3pm, but if you’re arriving earlier, which on a Friday you likely will, then Bounce luggage storage has a Covent Garden location, so you can drop your bags and head straight out rather than waiting around.
Bar Cicoria / Piazza Terrace, Royal Opera House – London’s best kept secret
Most people walk straight past the 📍 Royal Opera House without realising they can just walk in. Head up to the fifth floor and you’ll find Bar Cicoria and the Piazza Terrace, a covered rooftop bar looking directly down over Covent Garden below, with views that stretch as far as the London Eye. No booking required, no performance ticket needed, just walk in from 12 noon. It’s been quietly going viral on TikTok as one of London’s hidden gems and it absolutely deserves the attention.
We stumbled in before a show finished which meant we had it to ourselves, and then it filled up instantly. Go early and it’s one of the calmest and most beautiful spots in central London. Covered and heated so it works year round.
Neal’s Yard
From the Opera House it’s a short walk to 📍 Neal’s Yard, a tucked away courtyard of colourful independent shops and cafes. More of a wander than a destination, but it’s lovely to stumble across and the look of it is unlike anywhere else in London. Worth a slow explore and a sit down drink if you can get a table.
Seven Dials
📍 Seven Dials is right next door, a cluster of streets meeting at a central sundial column, lined with independent shops, restaurants and bars. Good for a long lunch with drinks or an afternoon drink stop before you head back to check in. There’s seating outside when the weather allows and it has a relaxed neighbourhood feel that’s different to the main Covent Garden tourist trail. Worth checking what’s on, on the Sevel Dials website too as the food hall hosts live music on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays too if you wanted to go there later on.
Check in and rooftop
If you havn’t already, head back to your hotel to check in, or just freshen up for the evening. If you do stay at AMANO Hotel, the rooftop bar is the obvious pre-dinner drink. Go around 5pm if you want a quieter drink with views, or save it for later in the evening when the DJ is on.
Pre-theatre dinner
Pre-theatre dining in London is worth researching properly rather than just going by reputation, not everywhere lives up to its name. Here are the ones worth knowing about:
Tattu – modern Chinese with a stunning cherry blossom interior on Oxford Street. It has a dedicated pre-theatre collaboration with the Dominion Theatre, which is ideal if you’re seeing Devil Wears Prada or another Dominion show. Pre-theatre menu from £39.50 for two courses. I went here before Devil Wears Prada and it was a great start to the evening.
Lime Orange – a small family run Korean and Japanese restaurant near Victoria Station. Cash only, TripAdvisor Travellers Choice winner eight years running. Consistently good and excellent value. I’ve eaten here before both Wicked and Devil Wears Prada. Perfect if your show is at the Apollo Victoria or Victoria Palace Theatre.
Dalloway Terrace at The Bloomsbury Hotel – a beautiful flower-adorned terrace restaurant in Bloomsbury with a retractable roof, steps from the West End. Pre-theatre menu available every day from 5pm to 6:30pm for groups of up to six. One of the most instagrammed restaurant terraces in London. They also do a specific Devil Wears Prada package if you want to make a full night of it.
Balthazar – right in the heart of Covent Garden’s theatre district, a classic French brasserie with antique mirrors and red leather booths. Pre-theatre menu Monday to Friday, two courses from £24.50, three from £27.50. One of the best located and best priced options in the area.
Clos Maggiore – tucked away in Covent Garden, consistently ranked one of London’s most beautiful restaurants with a conservatory draped in blossoms. French-inspired pre-theatre menu from £32.50. Worth booking well in advance.
Blacklock Covent Garden – quality steak and cocktails, strong reputation for pre-theatre dining in the area.
Boulevard Brasserie – one of the most affordable options near the West End. French classics, two courses from £18.45. Good for a big group on a budget.
The West End show
We put the show in on Friday evening deliberately. Saturday is a full day out and you want to be fresh for it. A Friday show means you can have a proper night after if you want, or get an early night and wake up ready for Borough Market and Bustronome without feeling rough. Either way it gives you the flexibility.
For a girls weekend, the Tina Turner musical is the one I’d recommend above anything else I have seen. It felt as much a concert as a show and the whole audience was up dancing by the end. I’ve also seen Devil Wears Prada which was brilliant, great fun and very much a girls night out show. Book in advance to secure your seats.

If you want to try for last minute tickets, the TKTS booth in Leicester Square sells same day discounted tickets, or Twickets has fan to fan resales. We got lucky with Wicked through Twickets once but I wouldn’t bank on it for a specific show on a specific night.
Saturday – Borough Market, Southbank, Bustronome, Sky Garden, dinner and drinks
Borough Market and the Southbank
📍 Borough Market is one of those London experiences worth building your morning around. Open Tuesday to Friday 10am-5pm, Saturday 9am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm. A Saturday morning visit for some breakfast is a good time to go for a girls weekend visit.
Here’s what to eat when you’re there:
📍 The Black Pig – the sandwich everyone talks about and for good reason. Slow roasted pork in a toasted ciabatta with honey truffle mayo, parmesan shavings and fennel apple slaw. They literally call it ‘The Best One.’ There’s a queuing system but it moves fast. I’ve had this and it is absolutely worth the hype.
📍 Humble Crumble – consistently rated one of the best things to eat at Borough Market. Fruit crumble made to order with a buttery shortbread topping, warm custard and a fluffy marshmallow. I’ve had this and it’s the kind of thing you think about afterwards.
📍 Turnips chocolate strawberries – the most viral food at Borough Market and the one I have personally never managed to get because they sell out and I always arrive too late from work. I am genuinely furious about this. Go early, don’t make my mistake.
📍 Bread Ahead Bakery – the crème brûlée donuts are torched right in front of you. Custard filled, caramelised sugar top, worth every penny.
📍 Ginger Pig – sausage rolls made with quality British meat, a proper market staple.
If you’re a Bridget Jones fan, her flat from the films is at 📍 8 Bedale Street, above The Globe Tavern, right on the edge of the market. There’s no sign, no plaque, nothing to mark it at all, you’d walk straight past it without knowing. The Greek restaurant across the street where Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver have their famous fight is now a wine bar called Bedales.
From Borough Market, walk along the Southbank towards the 📍 Tate Modern, 📍 Shakespeare’s Globe and 📍 Tower Bridge. It’s one of the best walks in London on a clear day and sets you up perfectly for Bustronome.
Bustronome
If this itinerary has a theme, it’s this: why spend your girls weekend traipsing between landmarks on tired feet when you can see them all from a glass-roofed double decker bus with a four course lunch and paired wine in hand?
📍 Bustronome is one of those experiences I’d recommend to anyone visiting London, but for a girls weekend specifically it’s close to perfect.
The entire top deck ceiling is glass, and so you’re completely immersed in the city as you move through it. The route covers pretty much every major London landmark in one sitting: Hyde Park Corner, Harrods, Royal Albert Hall, Natural History Museum, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the London Eye, Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, The Shard, St Paul’s Cathedral, Royal Courts of Justice, Piccadilly Circus and Marble Arch. In one lunch.
The food feels really luxurious, including four courses with wines paired to each course. We had red with the beef and white with the cod. We got on hungover and tired and came off beaming and raring to go. That tells you everything about how much we enjoyed it
The weekday lunch option includes a bottomless afternoon tea which is worth knowing about if your group visits midweek. Saturday lunch with paired wines is around £90 per person. It’s not cheap, but this is one of those experiences where the price feels completely justified by the time you step off. Book well in advance, it’s a popular one.
The drop off point puts you close to Sky Garden which makes the afternoon flow naturally from here.
Sky Garden
📍 Sky Garden is the highest public garden in London. A vast glass-domed garden on the 35th floor of the Walkie Talkie building with 360 degree views across the city. It’s completely free to visit, which given the views feels almost implausible.
The key detail: you must book in advance. Tickets are released every Monday morning, three weeks ahead, directly through the Sky Garden website. We saw people being turned away at the door who had tried to walk in without booking, so don’t risk it on a Saturday.
Once you’re inside, the views are extraordinary, with the Thames, the Gherkin, the Shard, St Paul’s, Tower Bridge all visible from the same spot. One of the things that struck me was looking down at the Tower of London, nearly a thousand years old, sitting right there in the middle of a modern city skyline. It looks completely out of place against the glass and steel around it, and that contrast is somehow more powerful than seeing it from the ground. It’s a moment that reminds you how genuinely extraordinary London’s history is.
We had drinks and just sat with the view for a while, which after Bustronome was exactly the right pace. Each timed ticket gives you one hour from entry so make the most of it.
St Katharine Docks – an optional detour
Between Sky Garden and getting back to the hotel,📍 St Katharine Docks is worth a brief detour if you have time. It’s a historic marina right next to Tower Bridge where yachts are moored alongside waterside bars and restaurants. It’s a completely different atmosphere to the rest of central London and one of those spots that surprises people who haven’t been before. Tower Bridge is right there and worth seeing up close if you haven’t already.
I haven’t made it here myself yet, it keeps ending up on the list for next time, but📍 The Dickens Inn comes up consistently as the one to visit, an 18th century timber-framed pub with balcony views of Tower Bridge and The Shard. 📍 Traders Wine Bar is a good option for wine and charcuterie on the waterside terrace if you want something lighter before dinner.
Dinner at Circolo Popolare
Circolo Popolare is in 📍 Fitzrovia, a short walk from Tottenham Court Road, and it’s my favourite of all the Big Mamma restaurants, and I’ve eaten at four of them.
Booking: Reservations open at exactly 9am, 30 days in advance, on the Circolo Popolare website. Set a reminder because the slots go fast. The restaurant seats 280 people and was completely full when we went, with people waiting outside for their tables. A handful of walk-in tables are kept back but on a Saturday evening don’t rely on it. Once you’re booked, note that tables are allocated 90 minutes, and the service moves accordingly.
The interior is the first thing that hits you. The walls are lined floor to ceiling with 20,000 empty alcohol bottles, hanging plants and wisteria dropping from the ceiling, lanterns on the tables, the whole room warm and glowing and loud. The music is Italian oldies and upbeat classics. The dominant soundtrack is actually the room itself, which by 8pm is completely alive with conversation.
The starters are made for sharing. The beef carpaccio is my favourite. It’s thinly sliced beef with confit tomatoes, rocket and aged Parmigiano. It arrives on a large plate and a waiter pulls a table up alongside you and spins it onto individual plates at the table. The burrata is equally good.
The signature dish is La Gran Carbonara. Which is spaghetti served tableside from a hollowed out 4kg pecorino cheese wheel, the pasta tossed inside and extra cheese scraped in as you watch. It’s only available for two people to share, and worth ordering specifically for the performance as much as the pasta. I had this at Ave Mario and it’s one of those dishes you watch being made and immediately understand why it went viral. Order it.
I had the chicken skewer for my main this time. It was grilled, well seasoned, served with a proper salad alongside. The desserts are enormous and worth saving room for. The lemon meringue pie comes out with a towering torched meringue on top that looks ridiculously big.
Bars and Nightlife
After dinner, the evening is yours. From Circolo Popolare you’re brilliantly placed. Soho is a short walk away and Covent Garden is right on your doorstep.
The districts worth knowing:
📍Soho is the one. It’s the heart of London’s nightlife, and dense with bars, clubs, late night restaurants and energy on every corner. There’s something for every mood within a few streets of each other, from quiet cocktail bars to full blown clubs. We ended up in Soho after dinner and got a tuk tuk back to the Amano at the end of the night, the little pink ones with lights and speakers that are everywhere in the West End. Highly recommend as a way to end a Saturday night.
📍 Covent Garden is better for earlier evening drinks than late night. More relaxed, good cocktail bars and theatre crowd energy.
📍 Fitzrovia, where Circolo Popolare is, has a good selection of quieter, more local bars if you want to stay in the area before heading to Soho.
Bars worth knowing:
Covent Garden and Seven Dials
📍 Mr Fogg’s – Victorian-themed cocktail parlour inspired by Phileas Fogg, full of travel curiosities and theatrical drinks. I’ve been and it’s a great one, it’s quirky, fun and very girls weekend. Multiple locations but the Covent Garden one is perfect for the area.
📍 Cellar Door – a tiny bar underneath the Lyceum Theatre, built inside a Victorian public convenience. 2-for-1 cocktails before 8pm, drag and burlesque from 9pm onwards. Consistently comes up as one of the most fun late night options in the area.
📍 The Escapologist – right in Seven Dials, 2-for-1 cocktails and hosts West End performer bottomless brunches. Very girls weekend energy.
Soho
📍 Cahoots – a 1940s underground tube station themed bar in Soho, complete with vintage carriages, wartime decor and swing music. Comes up constantly for hen dos and girls nights. Book ahead on Cahoots website, it’s small and fills up fast.
📍 Flute – champagne bar, elegant and celebratory. Good for a toast or a special occasion drink before heading on.
📍 The Alchemist – theatrical cocktails that change colour and smoke as you watch. Fun, Instagrammable, and the kind of place where you order a second just to watch it happen again.
📍 The Little Violet Door – styled on a fictional flat share, spread over two floors with velvet sofas, a retro games bar and a disco in the kitchen. One of the most consistently recommended girls night out bars in Soho.
📍 Freedom Bar – one of Soho’s most iconic venues, cabaret nights, club nights and a vibrant cocktail bar. Open until 3am at weekends.
You also have the Amano rooftop bar. The DJ is on until midnight on weekends and the atmosphere is completely different to the early evening quietness. We got lucky with a table on our way back, so it’s worth heading straight up when you arrive rather than going to your room first.
Getting back:
Keep an eye out for the tuk tuks around Soho and Covent Garden, usually pink, often lit up with fairy lights and speakers blasting music. A fun and surprisingly practical way to get back to the hotel at the end of the night, particularly if the group is tired and the tube feels like too much effort.
Sunday – Shopping, The NED Sunday Feast, and St Pauls Cathedral
Morning shopping
Sunday mornings in London are a good time to shop, quieter than Saturday, most shops open from 11am or noon. There are many options for shopping all over London of course, but here are two options which would fit in nicely.
Option 1 — Oxford Street, Liberty and Carnaby Street
This is what we did.📍 Oxford Street is the obvious starting point – the full length of it if you want, or just the stretch around Oxford Circus. 📍 Liberty London is just off Oxford Street on Great Marlborough Street and worth going in regardless of whether you’re buying anything. The Tudor building alone is worth it, with dark wood panelling, creaking floors, a maze of rooms across multiple floors. Their own brand fabric and homeware is genuinely distinctive and makes a brilliant gift to bring home. If you go from autumn, the whole top floor transforms into a Christmas wonderland.
📍 Carnaby Street is right next door. It’s a pedestrianised shopping street with independent and boutique retailers, a different feel to the high street. Then for something more elevated, 📍 New Bond Street and the surrounding streets have the designer shops such as Chanel, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Burberry. It’s worth a walk even if the price tags aren’t for you.
Option 2 — Knightsbridge and Harrods
If you’d rather go west, 📍 Harrods in Knightsbridge is the other great London shopping experience, the food hall alone is worth the visit. Pick up a Harrods cupcake from the food hall if you can, which is almost too beautifully decorated to eat, almost. From Knightsbridge you’re also within easy reach of 📍 Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard if you want to fit in a classic London moment before lunch. Check the Changing of the Guard schedule here as it doesn’t happen every day.
The NED’s Feast on Sundays
My recommendation for Sunday lunch is The Ned Feast, and it’s worth building the whole day around it.
📍 The Ned is the former Midland Bank headquarters, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens between 1924 and 1939, hence the name, Ned being Lutyens’ nickname. The ground floor grand banking hall, where you’ll be eating, is extraordinary. Soaring ceilings, 92 African verdite marble columns, a black and white chequerboard floor, walnut banking counters now lined with restaurants. It’s the kind of room that makes you forget you were there to eat.
Downstairs, the original bank vault has been converted into The Vault bar and lounge, over 3,000 safety deposit boxes still line the walls. The vault is famous for featuring in the 1964 James Bond film Goldfinger, and the 20-tonne door is still there. Worth seeing even if you’re not staying for drinks.
The Feast is £120 per person with a glass of wine included. Children under 6 eat free, children aged 6-12 are half price. It’s all you can eat, spread across the room in stations. On one side is the cold section, which has smoked salmon, rock oysters, whole lobsters, prawns, crab. Then theres the carved meats which is roast beef, pork and chicken, carved to order. Then the full Sunday roast section with all the trimmings like roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, cauliflower cheese, honey roasted carrots, tenderstem broccoli, rich gravy. Then cheese and a full dessert section, with little cuts of everything which means you can try several without the commitment of a full slice. There’s also a sweet counter that is extraordinary,and kids would go crazy for.
A live jazz band plays throughout. The atmosphere is celebratory and buzzy. This is not a quiet lunch, it’s a proper occasion. Yes it’s expensive, but it’s one of those experiences that feels completely worth it by the time you leave. We found it to be the perfect end to the weekend.
Book well in advance. The Ned Feast is consistently one of the hardest Sunday reservations to get in London. Sundays only. It is also worth noting that as a hotel, they can store your luggage if you have already checked out of your hotel.
If The Ned is outside your budget, here are three brilliant alternatives:
Blacklock Covent Garden – around £18-28 per person
📍 Blacklock on Henrietta Street has developed a cult following for its Sunday roast. The All In is a massive sharing platter of beef, lamb and pork with gravity defying Yorkshire puddings and crisp roast potatoes. The gravy is so good they sell it by the bottle. Book ahead.
Temper Soho or Covent Garden – around £35 per person
📍 Temper does Sunday roast over fire. Dry aged British rare breed meats cooked over open flame, beef fat potatoes, four cheese cauliflower and enormous Yorkshire puddings. The Three Beast Feast covers beef, lamb and pork. Add bottomless wine for £29 extra.
Hawksmoor Seven Dials – around £29.50 per person
📍 Hawksmoor is one of the most consistently praised Sunday roasts in London. Premium cuts, proper trimmings, the kind of place that makes you understand why London takes roasts seriously. Book well ahead.
A final stop – St Paul’s Cathedral
From The Ned, 📍 St Paul’s Cathedral is a five minute walk and the perfect end to the weekend. Entry costs around £25 for adults but if you arrive when a service is on, entry is free, so it’s worth checking the schedule before you go.
The building is one of Christopher Wren’s great masterpieces. Completed in 1710, its dome dominated the London skyline for 250 years. Inside, the scale of it hits you immediately.
When we visited, someone was playing the Grand Organ, a vast instrument with over 7,000 pipes, five keyboards and 137 stops, installed in 1694 with a case designed in Wren’s workshop and decorated by Grinling Gibbons. The sound it makes in that space is unlike anything else. Hearing it played even briefly was one of those unexpectedly moving moments you don’t plan for. The kind of thing that stays with you.
From The Ned, a five minute wander to St Paul’s, and then back to Euston for the train home. The perfect end to the weekend.
Where to eat in London – Restaurant recommendations
The Big Mamma Group
If there’s one restaurant group worth knowing about for a girls weekend in London, it’s Big Mamma. A French founded Italian restaurant group that has taken London by storm since opening Gloria in Shoreditch in 2019, they now have six London restaurants and every single one is worth visiting.
The formula is consistent throughout each restaurant. Maximalist Italian interiors that look like nothing else in the city, 100% homemade pasta and Neapolitan pizzas, tableside theatre, enormous desserts and a buzzy atmosphere that makes every visit feel like an occasion. The menus share DNA across all the restaurants but each location has its own distinct theme and personality.
All Big Mamma bookings open at exactly 9am, 30 days in advance, on the Big Mamma website. Set a reminder, they fill up fast. These are the four I have eaten in and recommend.
📍 Circolo Popolare – Fitzrovia
My favourite of the four I’ve visited and covered in full in the Saturday dinner section above. Walls lined with 20,000 bottles, Italian oldies playing, the La Gran Carbonara served tableside from a pecorino wheel. The most immersive of all the Big Mamma restaurants and the one I’d recommend first.
📍 Gloria – Shoreditch
The original Big Mamma London restaurant and still one of the best. Inspired by 1970s Capri, with big velvet sofas, incredible music that makes you want to stay all night, a place that feels like a party from the moment you walk in. This was my first Big Mamma experience and it completely set the tone for everything that followed.
📍 Ave Mario – Covent Garden
Dark, vibey, retro 1980s Italian feel. We ate downstairs which has a different atmosphere to the ground floor. It’s much more intimate and dramatic. The cheese wheel pasta is here too. It’s worth trying, and the Covent Garden location is brilliant for the area.
📍 Barbarella – Canary Wharf
The newest and most grown up of the group. It’s inspired by 1970s Roman cinema, with vintage Ferragamo silks, a mirrored glass bar and a chrome lounge overlooking the water. I’ve been for lunch as I work in Canary Wharf and it’s just as vibey as the others, slightly more chic in feel. The waterside terrace is brilliant in summer. I haven’t experienced it for an evening yet but it’s top of the list. The cocktail menu is apparently their most extensive of any London location.
Final thoughts
London never gets old. That’s the honest truth of it. Whether it’s your first visit or your fifteenth, there’s always something that surprises you. Whether it’s a new bar, restaurant, street you didn’t know existed, or a moment like I had stepping into St Paul’s and hearing the organs played, completely unplanned.
This itinerary is built around the things I’d genuinely recommend to a friend. It’s not the obvious tourist trail, but the version of London that comes from actually spending time there. The Opera House bar that most people walk straight past. The Bustronome that turned a hungover Saturday morning into one of the best lunches I’ve ever had. The tuk tuk home through Soho at midnight.
If you’re travelling from the north of England, London is closer than it sometimes feels. Two hours on the train and you’re in the middle of one of the best cities in the world for a girls weekend.
