London's West End is the heart of London's theatreland. Although it's less than a square mile area, it's the place to see big musicals, farce, revival plays from yesteryear, or transfers from Broadway. When I was in London, "The Mousetrap" (an Agatha Christie detective story) was still playing and had been since 1952! The best of the theatres in this area were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s such as the Lyric, Wyndoms, the London Pavilion and the Coliseum. Today, if you want to enjoy the "ornamentation of London's theatre", you should go to either Fortune Theatre near Covent Garden, Her Majesty's in the Haymarket, or the Palace Theatre in Cambridge Circus. Of course, there are hundreds of other theatres dotted all over the city which you may wish to attend...my message is: "JUST ATTEND!" While in London for one week, Jill and I saw four plays: 3 Musicals & 1 Drama. The Musicals were: "Buddy", "Back to the Forbidden Planet", "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat". The Drama was Dr. Jeckell and Mr. Hyde" I enjoyed the musical "Buddy" (life of Buddy Holly) and the psychological drama, "Jeckle & Hyde" the most. If you have the opportunity, visit the famous Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, which many Londoners feel is the finest theatre in the city. It is the oldest still in use. Outside, it does not look grand; however, inside it is quite beautiful. Since it's very expensive, you might wish to just walk into the grand foyer as far as the box office. Remember to dress appropriately.
From my personal point of view, whenever going to the theatre, dress up. You don't need formal clothing, but something quite nice. Leave a Comment Theme: TheaterAddress: Theatre Royal, Drury Catherine St London, WC 2B5JFPhone: Theatre Royal, 020 7494 5000

A visit to a show in London is a definite "Must Do" while staying in the capital. There are loads of theatres in the West End, Shaftsbury Ave, Strand, Covent Garden area - with something to suit all tastes. The best place to buy cheap(ish!) tickets is at the famous ticket booth in Leicester Square. London Theatres and the Official London Theatre Guide
Some people like to dress up when they visit the theatre but it's not really necessary. Do remember that many London theatres were built for teensy weensy Victorians and as such, seats are often acutely lacking in leg room! Ask for an aisle seat if you need to stretch out a bit!
