Where the Girls Go (London Edition)

By Scarlett Skerman

London really does have it all. From post-Soho shopping spritzes that stretch into sunset, to 4am dance floors where you and your besties are the last ones standing — this is the city that never misses. Think of this guide as your shortcut to doing London the right way: curated, insider, and a little bit cheeky. We’ve tracked down the spots worth your time (and maybe even a deal or two, because of course we did). Consider this your ultimate cool girl guide for the perfect London weekend.

The Nest in the treehouse

When it comes to rooftops in central London, nothing really beats Treehouse. Perched high above the city, it’s the kind of spot that works for every mood and every occasion. By day, you can grab a chilled lunch outside with panoramic views that make even the most seasoned Londoner stop and stare.

By night, the space transforms – DJs, cocktails, and a buzzing crowd that’s as stylish as the skyline itself. Whether it’s a date night, a girls’ night out, or even a laid-back family lunch, Treehouse nails the balance between effortless and unforgettable. We’re die-hard fans for a reason – it’s not just a rooftop, it’s the ultimate London vibe.

How Matcha, Marylebone

Marylebone has its fair share of pretty cafés, but How Matcha is in a league of its own. Sitting pretty on one of the cutest streets in London, it’s become the unofficial clubhouse for the city’s cool girls. The uniform? Oversized sunnies, vintage denim, and a hand-whisked ceremonial matcha in tow. Priding itself as the matcha community.

By day, it’s all soft light and perfectly poured lattes, but don’t be shocked if you turn up to find a full-blown matcha rave breaking out — DJs, disco balls, and green drinks that somehow feel chic. It’s curated to the bone, effortlessly London, and always buzzing. Tkind of place you don’t just go to — you get seen at. And of course, the matcha itself? Star of the show.

42

Tucked away in the heart of Mayfair, 42 is the kind of place that begs you to dress up and lean into your most glamorous self. Low-lit with moody décor and velvet-draped corners, it’s a space that feels both intimate and indulgent, like it was designed for whispered conversations and stolen glances. The atmosphere is dark, sexy, and effortlessly chic—the sort of bar where slipping into your best outfit feels natural, almost expected. Order a perfectly made martini, settle into a shadowy corner, and let the night unfold around you in style

Pear Tree Café, Battersea

When the sun is up and the rain is at bay, you’ll find a large majority of London’s population gathered in Battersea park. Next to a picturesque lake in the heart of the park, this terraced café is the perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon. Think live music, rosé wine and the best dressed men outside of the City – you won’t be disappointed.

Open until late, this café is the number one spot for day drinking with the girls. Be sure to arrive before 2pm on a weekend to avoid queues – this place isn’t joking about being the number one spot south of the river. Be warned – you may find yourself bumping into old Hinge matches that didn’t progress… but what would life be without a few blasts from the past.

Screen on the Green, Islington

If a chilled, relaxed movie is what you’re after following a busy day, the Screen on the Green is the perfect place to end your evening. With a retro-style cinema screen and a lavish bar serving everything from cocktails to pizzas, this venue is a shining light upon Islington’s Upper Street.

Do not be fooled into thinking this is a normal cinema experience… luxury sofa seating and screen service create a warm, cosy atmosphere that you don’t find often. Perfect for a second date with that cute boy that’s been messaging you.
