Springtime London Theatre Breaks I love London in the springtime when I can spend more time outdoors, like along the river banks or in the parks. You would love it here also if you came for a London theatre break in April May or June.
It’s true that many activities in the great city of London generally transcends seasonality but not everything. A river trip on one of the pleasure boats on a day when you can sit out on deck without wrapping up in weatherpoof coats and hats for example is a quite different experience to the wintertime. Inside the London theatres it’s nice because people aren’t at all encumbered with heavy coats and can walk straight past the cloakroom. This makes interval easier too. Then when the show has reached its grand climax and the cast have taken their last bows, when you exit onto the London streets it’s still nice enough for a stroll around around theatreland and there may even be a tiny bit of dusky daylight left before night breaks. London Theatre Breaks in High Summer In the high summer months of July and August, London Theatre Breaks are all about escapism. Some of the local Londoners will have escaped too, but the city is far from deserted. Be prepared to meet crocodiles of Italian teenagers on English language breaks, and people from the far north of the UK for whom anywhere further south of England would be simply too hot at this time of year. London has become very much more of an outdoor city in recent years, with continental style pavement terraces outside nearly every restaurant, cafe or pub that can find the tiniest bit of space on the street. The coolest place though, is always by the river and if you are in the West End vicinity near the theatres you can always nip down by the embankment to catch the maritime atmosphere and refreshing breezes. Walk over the pedestrian bridges to see what the Thames looks like from right n the middle - that’s always a romantic thing to do when the banks are lit up at night.
Top Shows for London Theatre Breaks in Spring and Summer These are just suggestions of course, you’ll want to go and see whichever show you’ve been hankering after but for couples there is always an element of negotiation involved when deciding which musical or play is to be the centrepiece of a long awaited London theatre break.
Priscilla Queen of The Desert - This is the new show in the prestigious Palace Theatre where Spamalot and Les Miserables used to be. It’s not a new production though, it’s been running for years in Australia and the music is full of 1970’s dance hits We Will Rock You - still great and still turning theatre audiences into a rock concert crowd each night and packing them in. But there are persistent rumours of the show reaching the end of its natural run so definitely worth seeing now or also worth seeing again. Hairspray - As Billy Conley takes over from Michael Ball as Edna, Hairspray demonstrates this is a great musical whose popularity has legs. Dirty Dancing and Grease - Two shows that are both about the summer with all that means for youthful love.
