Reasons to Visit London

The Queen – London is the most popular city for tourists because of Queen Liz, and it wouldn’t be a visit to the capital without seeing something owned/lived in by her majesty.

The West End – A big draw for groups (especially birthday parties), catching a show in one of the West End theatres’ is a bucket list item for many people

London Eye – Take in some of the world’s most breath-taking views aboard the totally unique London eye (as long as you’re not afraid of heights!)

Michelin Stars – The capital is home to over 70 different Michelin-starred restaurants dotted around the city, and the food is to die for.

River Thames – For the ultimate relaxation experience, take one of the many boat bus tours along the river Thames and see the city in a new light.

Innovative Experiences – With over 150 different activities for groups to enjoy, London is the number 1 place to go for diversity and fun.

Getting Around London 

Because of the 30 million visitors London receives on a yearly basis, the capital has geared itself up for easy travel all around the centre, towards the boroughs and through to surrounding areas. The biggest tip for any trip to London is the oyster card. This little card will give you access to all tube and bus travel, all you need to do is top it up and swipe as you go in and out of stations.

Sometimes the tubes can get quite confusing and busy, but most tube stations across London come equipped with tourist information should you need a bit of guidance while travelling. When you’re in the capital, we suggest taking a lot of the streets by foot rather than taxi (it can work out quicker) so you can make the most of the beauty of the city, and find a few hidden gems along the way.

Ladies Night Out Ideas in London

We’re going to go all out and say it – you can’t find a bigger or bolder ladies night out than in London. It’s basically the city’s responsibility to provide unreal nightlife, and it would be rude not to take advantage of it with your favourite girl friends! Get all dressed up, choose where you want to boogie the night away and let London show you a good time.

Here at Funktion we’re big believers that you don’t need a reason to go out with the girls, just get everyone together for a good time. A ladies night out in London can be hard to narrow down, and the amount of London nightlife areas and options might call for a few trips to the city. From Covent Garden to Soho, Shoreditch to Bank, make sure you do your research before you go to the capital because everywhere is different.

For more specific ideas for a ladies night event, we can help with that to. London is obviously home to the Dreamboys Male Strip Show, and what girls night out would be complete without some hunky strippers for eye candy? Of course, there’s also more tame options like cocktail making, or just the classic nightclub entry and booths in the many bars around London.
