While you’re in London always take the trouble to take in a West End show. If you line up the theatres/shows your interested in and then hit the box office at each and see what’s going for the evening. I tried We Will Rock You and Mary Poppins with no luck – no seats tonight – but got a seat for Spamalot for 20 quid (up to £60 a ticket isn’t unusual).

Spamalot was a pleasant way to spend the evening – just good entertainment – not going to take your breathe away like Les Mis, or Cats, or Starlight Express which I’ve seen in London and all were just outstanding. For Spamalot I was in a separate box, ‘in the gods’, with two others, over the stage which had a slightly restricted view, but great view of ‘the pit’, normal chairs you could move about to suit yourself, and nearly got my head blown off when they the let the confetti off, towards the end of the show, from that side of the stage right beside me! Great fun.
