If you're looking for a fantastic location for a stag do, there's nowhere better than the UK's biggest city - London. With thousands of pubs and clubs catering to every taste, London really has it all - from techno nights to the burlesque bars, you're sure to find a night out that suits the lucky groom-to-be and his group of close friends.
Although stag dos can seem to have a bit of a random feel to them - with many saying they just head out and see where the night takes them - the truth is that they take a lot of planning. There's a lot of pressure on the best man to sort out the best party locations and, if you're thinking about heading to London for the big night, you'd do well to come up with a loose plan for where you want to go.
London is a city as diverse as it is large, meaning there'll be some places you'll want to go more than others. For example, if your group enjoys the thrumming beats of hip hop and end up stumbling into a techno club, you may not be overly pleased - so it's a good idea to find out what clubs play what styles and plan your night accordingly.
Considering the scale of London, much can be said for planning your night. Although there are areas like SoHo and the city centre where you'll find bars and clubs aplenty, it's also true that there may be considerable distance between any particular spots you want to hit. This means that it's a good plan to work out whether you want to take public transport or a taxi between locations and, if the former, find out and take note of what bus or tube you'll need.
Many people enjoy seeing what happens, though. If it's the case that you don't mind a group of jazz fans barging into cheesy pop night somewhere, then it's a great idea to just head out and see where you end up. London is so full of colourful characters and exciting bars that, no matter where you go, you're guaranteed a great time. Just make sure you don't party too hard - one of you has a very important day coming up!
Whether you plan your upcoming stag do or not, London has a wealth of good times and amazing memories to offer. If you're hoping to party throughout the night, there are many London hotels in the busy areas of the city for your convenience, but there is also accommodation further afield if you think you might want a quieter area.
