What to do for my 30th

Mathew

Hi,

Its my 30th birthday on the 30th December and I have no idea what do to! I appreicate its a little way away but I hope to do somethting special and may need to budget accordingly!

I don't want a party and hoped to go somewhere with my closest friends and partners for a couple of nights including new years eve?

I live in Kent whch would make London the obvious location which is fine. I was thinking maybe a restaurant on the 30th and somewhere for the new year.

Any suggestions on restaurants, hotels, places to go or any ideas at all.

I'd check with your friends about this first; it could end up being a VERY expensive two nights. (Apologies if they're all well off!)

Sorry,

I did not make that clear, there are 5 couples who are all up for but I have been left to sort out the particulars! (I want to really):rolleyes:

that sounds really nice,i went out for a meal for my 30th it was very memorable there were 12 of us it was a fantastic eve much better than going out clubbing it.i like that your planning well in advance,why dont you ask your friends where they would like to try.and as it over new year you may have to book soon i know sounds daft but peeps do book up well in advance

Well the plans are coming along, there are 8 of us booked and paid into a hotel right by Oxford street tube which is in walking distance of Covent Garden and a Ramsey restaurant (maze).

Spent ages trawling and the best I could find was a 3* including breakfast for £94 per couple per night. Travelodge was coming in at £110! Used a site called Highlife breaks (sister of superbreaks) that seemed to come on top.

Worried about posting this in case I paid over the odds!;)

I think if I don't go out and get drunk with my friends this is exactly what I will end up doing

Mathew

Think I will hold on booking somewhere to eat at this rate, chances are they may close!

You could go on a party boat on the thames. It's a good night out and slightly different to a standard nightclub. Great views too! :beer:

Type 'Party Boat' into google or look at a list of companies on the TFL site on the river page.

you could try to see if there is a musical show at a theatre & sometimes they do combining hotels,meals & a show but you will need to check if they do it over the new year or not.
good luck with it all have a fab time,I am sure what ever you decide it will be fab,you could also hire a villa in spain & go for a couple of nights not sure of how much it will cost though
