If your idea of a good hen night involves more than a set of 'L' plates and a stripper in a policeman's outfit, take a look at this list of slightly more stylish options...

Girlie nights

London's Berkeley Hotel offers the ultimate evening of pampering with their Girls' Night In package, which includes an overnight stay in a superior king room, a mini manicure in your room and a Girls’ Night In hamper, complete with Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, Maltesers and popcorn. If you fancy treating yourselves to some fabulous cocktails, the mixologists at the hotel's Blue Bar will send you up their strawberries and cream cosmopolitans to sip on while watching one of the girlie flicks on offer.

To round off the perfect night, the Berkeley has teamed up with high-end beauty brand DDF for some serious pampering - try their 'glamour gloves' or their therapeutic 'task masks'. Definitely one of London's best nights in. £509 for a superior king room (twin beds are available).

If afternoon tea is your idea of fun, the Berkeley's Prêt-à-Portea has London's most sophisticated in attendance in the hotel's Caramel Room. With cakes, pastries and eclairs inspired by the latest catwalk creations, it's easy to see why the idea is so popular. Prêt-à-Portea is served from 2pm-6pm every day, priced at £35 per person.

Shopping trip

Dispelling the myth that personal shopping costs a fortune, an appointment at Liberty is completely free and a great reason to get together for a day of shopping with the girls. The idea is not to get you to part with all your hard-earned cash; instead the focus is on having a fun day out, receiving style advice from professionals and generally relaxing on a sofa in the private shopping suite while someone else does all the hard work. Call 020 7573 9944 to make an appointment.

Champagne capsule

For a touch of sophisticated fun, why not hire a private champagne capsule on the London Eye? To make a night of it, book a restaurant nearby (the Oxo Tower is lovely) and head to the Eye after dessert for breathtaking views across London as the sun sets. Each capsule holds 25 people and costs £430 plus £55 per bottle of champagne. Call 0870 220 2223.
