If you’re due to travel to the UK from anywhere else in Europe, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of the low exchange rate for the Euro and GBP. In a time of economic struggle, during which prices for day to day items such as bread and milk have rocketed, UK consumers are holding on tight to their hard earned cash and are reluctant to spend on anything but essentials. These times bring a challenge for retailers also, with many established and popular names disappearing from UK high streets each week. As the competition for tourist spend hots up, so does the offering of bargains to be had. Surprisingly, some of the best value London deals and offers in the UK tourist industry at the moment are coming from London’s West End theatres.
Money spent on a trip to the theatre is always worth while. A theatre trip is enjoyable and memorable for all the family. When there are amazing shows on offer such as Chicago, The Lion King and Les Miserables at just a fraction of the usual price, it’s hard to find a reason not to indulge a little on an enjoyable and relaxing night out during your London visit.
There are over 40 theatres and many independent play houses in and around London, so subsequently there is no shortage of cheap theatre tickets available at any time. With ticket prices as low as £9 and shows lasting around 120 minutes, choosing theatre over other attractions really represents good value for money and won’t break your travel budget.
Musicals are usually the more popular choice, especially for first time theatre goers and children. With lively songs, exciting costumes and great scenery the musicals guarantee to be a light hearted spectacle compared to some of the more heavy going dramatics. It can help to choose a story line that you are familiar with too – there are many adaptations of classic films to choose from such as The Wizard of Oz, Mamma Mia and Billy Elliot. Another way to choose a great musical is to look for actors or actresses that you are familiar with and you are bound to enjoy their performance.
