Planning A Perfect 21st In London

Throw an amazing birthday celebration by booking a few nights in a top London hotel and experiencing the best the city has to offer.

There are some birthdays you’re always going to want to remember, and your 21st is definitely one of them. If you’re looking for ways to help someone special celebrate their birthday in style, make sure you do everything you can to help them enjoy a day that’s like no other. No matter where you live in the UK, a weekend in London can be a great choice for a night out – and when it comes to birthdays, the city has so much to offer you’re going to wish you could be having the party in three places at once. Start planning a perfect birthday weekend in London well in advance, and you’re sure to blow the lucky recipient’s socks off.

Start your weekend with a little shopping, it’s the perfect way to relax and make sure you’ve got some great clothes for the actual birthday night out. Shop seriously on Oxford Street, enjoy browsing in Covent Garden and chill out and hunt for bargains in Soho – and make sure to take plenty of coffee breaks to enjoy a few cakes.

Drop your purchases off at your hotel and start getting ready for a night on the town. Before you hit the clubs, you’re sure to want to enjoy a bite to eat, and you won’t be struggling to find somewhere for your meal in London. Again, be sure to book ahead, especially if there are a few of you.

London is renowned for its nightlife, and when you think about the sheer wealth of pubs and clubs found in its boroughs, you will understand why. Choose from some of the UK’s most popular nightclubs and you may even find yourselves rubbing shoulders with celebrities. Heaven, Funky Buddah, Tiger Tiger and the Ministry of Sound are some top spots for exclusive nights out, but if you’re going for a big night out, it might be worth calling ahead. The last thing you want to do is find out about the club is booked out or to be told there’s a dress code when it’s already too late.

The next day, why not take your birthday guest on a trip to the London Eye? A touristy attraction perfect for clearing muzzy heads, and luckily, while it looks like a ferris wheel, it’s not likely to upset any stomachs. Then, cap your weekend off with a matinee at one of the West End theatres, a grand musical is sure to sweep away any cobwebs, allowing you to cap your birthday celebrations off on a high note.

Make sure that when you’re booking your accommodation for the weekend, you choose city centre hotels that will be easy for you to get to and from during your stay – the last thing you want to do is find yourselves stuck far away from your hotel in the middle of the night.
