Essential Guide
London is fast becoming a 24 hour city, as it throbs, hums and teems with life. It is a city that energises its day people and night people alike – to be in it and sample it is to be refreshed by it. Pubs, clubs, theatres, cinema and comedy; London is alive with events and productions in every possible type of venue, and there are many special events and festivals on throughout the year.
From classical and opera in concert halls and theatres to rock and jazz in pubs and clubs, you have access to music in abundance. London is home to four of the world's largest orchestras - the London Symphony Orchestra, The Philharmonia, London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The English National Opera perform entirely in English at ENO’s Edwardian home, The Coliseum on St Martin’s Lane, performances – which include new works as well as operatic standards and tickets start at just £6.
Watch the Royal Ballet perform at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, take a salsa lesson or if you just want to strut your stuff on the dance floor , you are sure to find a club to suit your tastes in London.
Theatreland, in the heart of London’s trendy West End, is home to the capital’s theatre, musicals, ballet and opera – one of the world’s richest arrays of artistic choice, quality and diversity. London’s theatrical life has been buzzing with vibrancy and sustained by excellence since before the time of Shakespeare. Also with over a dozen West End musicals playing at any one time, many with matinee performances and discounted tickets available, London is the place to come for the biggest musical brands in the business, including perennial favourites The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Chicago and Les Miserables.
The UK’s flagship National Theatre stages a spectacular range of classics, musicals, new plays and entertainment for all the family within its three auditoriums: Olivier, Lyttelton and Cottesloe. Or take a trip back in time at Shakespeare’s Globe on London’s Southbank, where microphones and stage lighting are thrown aside and, as in Shakespeare's time, audience participation is encouraged.
London is also the capital of the global club scene – after dark, the city’s music becomes beat-strewn, upbeat, diverse and eclectic.
Film buffs can enjoy a blockbuster in a plush independent cinema, a 3D experience on the UK's largest screen, sit in the same seats as the Hollywood A-list in Leicester Square, catch a Bollywood classic or visit one of London's annual film festivals.
Comedy fans are also well catered for, from Monty Python to The Young Ones, the British are famous around the globe for their sense of humour. This would probably explain why London presents more live comedy than any other city in the world.
Tickets are available from many different outlets around the city. The Official London Theatre ticket booth, ‘tkts’ is situated in Leicester Square and sells discounted tickets for West End shows on the day of the performance only.
Tickets are also available online through selected ticket agencies or check with the box offices for daily returns. Tickets for West End musicals vary between £10- £45, a booking fee may also apply. To avoid disappointment it is recommended to book tickets as far in advance as possible. |
