Zoe Hartley

London Hen Party Specialist

Zoe specialises in London hen party planning where transport, timing, and group size matter as much as the venue itself. She maps activities by neighbourhood clusters — Soho, Shoreditch, Covent Garden, and the South Bank — so groups are not losing hours on the Tube between bookings. Her reviews focus on realistic per-head costs once service charges and travel are included, which restaurants actually accept tables for fifteen on a Saturday, and when stay-in options (private chefs, mobile mixologists, immersive at-home entertainment) beat going out. Having planned weekends for groups arriving from across the UK, she prioritises honest lead times, Elizabeth Line logistics, and itineraries that work for mixed budgets in the same group.
