Theatre Breaks
Theatre breaks are short holidays in London which combine best seat theatre tickets with a central hotel stay, usually three or fours star. It's a great way to see one of the big shows because you don't have to worry about traveling home afterwards, and everything is all paid for in one go - with discount rail fares from anywhere in the UK, and extras such as the London Eye flight or river trip on the Thames.
The Theatre Breaks Wiki here is used to maintain up to date information about the shows available for London theatre breaks, the Hotels and anything else that can help to build the best time in London's West End theatreland.
