When it comes to throwing an unforgettable bachelor party, few cities rival London. With its iconic landmarks, luxury venues, and unparalleled nightlife, the capital offers endless possibilities for an epic celebration. It’s for good reason that this bustling city sees frequent visits from affluent gentlemen flying over for their bachelor party. So, we thought it’d be fun to imagine what a bachelor party with an unlimited budget might look like from start to finish. Without further ado, here’s our step-by-step guide on planning the most ultimate and exclusive bachelor party London has ever seen.
Step 1: Arrive in Style
There’s no reason why the party can’t start before arriving in London city: arrange for a private jet or first-class flight experience for some sky-high fun. When you land, a luxurious limo awaits your arrival, equipped with drinks and party lighting. Your classy chauffeur expertly maneuvers through the busy London streets while the energy and excitement builds amongst the group.
Your limo pulls up to a lavish 5-star hotel. Think sophisticated rooms in the world-class Dorchester hotel, or an exclusive penthouse suite for the whole group in the The Lanesborough or Mandarin Oriental hotels. Alternatively, if you want to go wild with total privacy, you can rent out an entire private mansion through companies like The Mews Houses.
Step 2: High-End Daytime Activities
Exclusive Sporting Adventures
Start the day with a private VIP experience at Wimbledon’s tennis courts or a bespoke golf session at the exclusive Sunningdale Golf Club. But do please drive those golf carts responsibly. If the groom is a football fan, why not arrange a private stadium tour and pitch-side experience at Stamford Bridge or Emirates Stadium?
Thrills on the Thames
Charter a luxury yacht to cruise along the River Thames with a gourmet champagne brunch and live entertainment. As we all know, yachts are a favourite location of the elite and provide privacy and seclusion from the public. We’re not sure what happens on these yachts, so please let us know!
Custom Shopping Spree
Shopping is usually seen as a woman’s activity, but there are plenty of refined items the groom will need to upkeep his immaculate affluent appearance. We’re talking about luxury watches and exquisitely tailored suits, all of which can be found in the coveted and exclusive Bond Street.
Step 3: A Gourmet Feast
Regardless of which activities the group partakes in during the day, everyone is sure to build up an impressive appetite and you’ll want nothing but the best when it comes to refined meals.
So, let’s treat the group to an indulgent dining experience at one of London’s most exclusive restaurants. Secure a private dining room at The Ledbury or Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, where Michelin-starred chefs will create a bespoke menu tailored to your tastes.
Or book a table at Bob Bob Ricard for its opulent interior and champagne-on-call service for a unique touch. Pair the meal with vintage wines and rare whiskeys to further elevate the experience.
Step 4: A Touch of Class in the Evening
London’s cultural scene offers plenty of sophisticated options before the night gets wild. With such exquisite food in everyone’s stomachs, it’s also lovely to sit down for a while and digest in a high-class venue.
Visiting an opera house, such as the prestigious Royal Opera House is a favourite activity of the elite. Admittedly, we don’t always see the appeal of opera shows, but when you’ve got the money to spend, why not experience some sophisticated entertainment with a glass of champagne in hand?
For some classy male bonding with your mates, you can reserve a cigar and whiskey-tasting session at The Ritz or Churchill Bar & Terrace. It was today that we learned cigars can taste like things other than smokey tobacco. The elite really do have rather refined tastes.
Step 5: The Ultimate Night Out
You’ve got two main options here depending on your group’s tastes and, most importantly, the groom’s preferences: going out and about the thriving London night scene where you mix and mingle with the crowd, or booking a private venue.
Wealthy gentlemen are known to frequent Annabel’s, otherwise known as London’s most exclusive private members’ club, where you can sip cocktails in a lavish setting. If the group is seeking a trendier vibe, head to The Arts Club or Tramp.
For a more secluded experience you can rent an entire venue like Loulou’s or Park Chinois, complete with live entertainment, world-class DJs, and customized drink menus.
Step 6: After-Party Indulgence
As the evening comes to a close and the sun threatens to break dawn, you may think that we’re done and it’s time to collapse in the bed of your 5-star hotel room. Well, the party is not over until the sun is well and truly up! So, it’s time to hire a mixologist to craft personalized cocktails and arrange for gourmet snacks in your penthouse or residence. Unwind and relax and try to crawl into bed before passing out for the night…
Optional Add-on: Invite Additional Company
Traditionally bachelor parties involve strippers, but what if we told you that there was a way you could take that to a whole other level? Introducing elite London escorts. These are gorgeous women who charge upwards of £600/per for the pleasure of their company and are very popular amongst London’s high-profile community. In fact, in talking with Elite Society, one of the city’s top providers, they mentioned that “we get lots of rich young lads flying over from all over the world who are looking to let-loose one last time before tying the knot, and usually they see our escorts as their last taste of freedom.”
A Truly Elite Bachelor Party
An unlimited budget means you can go above and beyond to create a bachelor party as unique as the groom himself. Whether or not you have an unlimited budget yourself, it’s fun to imagine the possibilities, and there are many exclusive activities you can do with your group if you get creative or save up some money for the occasion.
Dining in a fine restaurant, renting a limo for an hour, booking some beautiful London girls, or browsing luxury stores in Bond Street are all accessible – you’ll just need to decide whether you’re browsing or buying things in Bond Street and whether Gordam Ramsey himself cooks your food, or the hotel microwave. Being a wealthy bachelor is out of reach for most of us, but there’s nothing stopping us from getting a sweet little taste of elite society and taking inspiration from them for our own bachelor parties.
