London Museums
The heart of London theatre, the West End, produces top stage shows every year whilst London museums are unbelievable and hold priceless antiquities and works of art.
The West End is said to “represent the highest level of commercial theatre in the English speaking world.” Theatreland, as London Theatre is sometimes called, has more than 40 theatres between The Strand, Oxford Street, Regent Street and Kingsway. Most theatres can be found on The Strand, Drury Lane and Shaftesbury Avenue.
The longest running performances in London theatre include The Mousetrap, Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Miss Saigon and many, many more. Be sure to visit London’s famous West End and make a night of it by reserving a table for dinner. Many West End restaurants have special deals for London theatre ticket holders. Buy your London theatre tickets in advance at the box office or online because shows sell out quickly.
London museums are exceptional with world renowned exhibitions and collections. The best names in London museums are the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, Natural History Museum and the Imperial War Museum.
The top London museums for art are The National Gallery, Tate Britain, Tate Modern, Saatchi Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.
As well as London theatre and culturally rich London museums and monuments, London is itself a truly international city blending over 300 nationalities. Its influx of immigrants has increased dramatically since the formation of the EU. This massive melting pot has inspired incredible shows, music, food and more.
