Hen Night - London Leg

One of Sarah's good pals, Holly, was kind enough to share with us all her account of Sarah's Hen Night (London Leg), back in July:

Sarah’s London hen do was a fairly laid back affair and was actually more of an opportunity for Sarah to catch up with lots of good friends in one day. Luckily, Sarah brought plenty of sun back from Singapore – activities are so much easier to plan when the sun is shining!

The day started at a festival on the South Bank next to Gabriel’s Wharf and the Oxo Tower with Sarah, Pam (hobbling from the latest Hargreaves’ shopping trip), Rachel, Nila, Kimberley, Tan, Michelle, Lisa and Holly. We spent several hours eating, drinking and chatting amongst kids in face paint and a man dressed as a giant cockroach.

We then moved on to Vinopolis for a wine tour (unfortunately having said goodbye to Lisa and Tan) where we drank our way around the world whilst pretending it was educational.We learnt that Macedonian wine tastes like crap – so it was a bit educational. And Pam managed to score us lots of extra drinks along the way and we finished the tour drinking gin cocktails, having wisely avoided the absinthe-tasting bar (where it would have all have ended in tears!).

We had a couple of substitutions at this point – losing Pam, Michelle and Kimberly but gaining Cassandra. As the vegetarian to carnivore ratio had suddenly shifted we headed to Mildred’s, a veggie restaurant in Soho where we attempted to soak up the wine whilst topping it up with champagne.
At this point the night sped up and before we knew it, it was closing time and we were being kicked out of a bar somewhere in Soho!

A good night was had by all and we even managed to get Sarah back in one piece!
