A Stag Party in Shoreditch, London!
Stu: “Why do you think we can’t remember anything from last night?” Phil: “Because obviously, we had a great fucking time!” The Hangover.
Yep, he did it. Your best mate took the plunge and asked his partner to marry him and now the wedding plans are well underway! Whilst announcing this new news to you, he asks you to be his Best Man. You are bowled over with emotion that you will be there for him and you both feel proud and loved after sharing so much history together.
Rite of passage
Within a nano-second of this bromance moment, the conversation quickly turns to what your time together has been really leading up to – The Stag Party. Not that the wedding isn’t important, but this is a rite of passage for him. For you. For mankind.
The Stag Party
But whilst the wedding party are still going over the details of the proposal, it’s been less than 24 hours since the groom made his announcement and already there is an established ‘Stag’ WhatsApp group with over 200 messages and the Stag Party is the only topic of conversation.
Where to go?
So here you all are, on the brink of a brilliant weekend with your best mates. But where do you go? What to do when you get there? And where do you stay? Some planning is key to a great Stag-Party so ask yourself the following:
- Do you want to stay somewhere that is walking distance from some of London’s best bars, clubs and cafes?
- Do you want accommodation in central London that is close to London buses/trains/tubes/City Airport?
- Somewhere that is away from the usual tourist traps that will give you all a night/week/weekend to remember?
