I’m planning a girls’ trip to London. 3 nights early December. We will be staying in central London Nr Belgrave Square.
I’m looking for your recommendations for fun things to see and do that aren’t shopping 🥴
Fun bars / restaurants that are a bit different?
We loved ABBA Voyage and Magic Mike
Have considered Mama Mia at the O2 but is it a bit of a treck?
Looking forward to your suggestions
Thank you 🙂

What sort of budget?

Did a Dickens Christmas Carol walking tour it was brilliant. There are lots of others such as Harry Potter. They only last a couple of hours so could do lunch, tour, dinner. DD has just done a Thames rib ride said it was fantastic. Cost around £80 per person, might be a bit cold in December.

I suppose similar to the events I’ve mentioned? 🤔 If we fancy it- we’ll consider it 😬

Titanique? Similar vibe to the shows you've mentioned!

I'm doing a Grinch themed afternoon tea on a bus in late November.

Gordon's wine bar in Charing Cross.

The Horrible Histories boat trip is great fun.

What about devil wears prada ? It’s really good and not too far? There’s a sky bar nearby that has panoramic views also mrfoggs society of exploration is a very cool cocktail bar
