A dream break
SAM YARWOOD enjoys a super theatre trip to London
A THEATRE break in London. Sounds appealing right?
Well what if I then told you that someone would book it all for you, add on a river cruise, dinner, and even throw in some discount shopping vouchers?
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?
But it is true, and it could cost you as little as £164.
It’s a perfect gift for someone special, or even just a little treat for yourself.
London Theatre and Shopping Weekends are one of Superbreaks latest offers.
They do everything for you, just tell them where you want to go and when and they’ll sort the rest.
Included in the deal is top seats to see a huge selection of West End shows, such as Disney’s award-winning The Lion King, Roald Dahl’s Matilda, as well as the mesmerising Wicked and the classic Phantom Of The Opera.
I’d particularly recommend Dreamgirls at The Savoy Theatre - an incredible show, with some absolutely out of this world voices.
And of course you’ll be needing somewhere to relax afterwards.
There isn’t a shortage of hotels on offer either, with a range designed to suit everyone’s taste and budget.
The Cavendish in Mayfair is one of the more upmarket options, offering five-star luxury at four-star prices.
The hotel has also recently been awarded a 2017 Gold medal for Green Tourism.
It’s perfectly situated, and is just a stone’s throw away from some of the capital’s biggest attractions.
You can easily take a stroll over to Trafalgar Square, a sight in itself but also home to The National Gallery, and of course Nelson’s Column.
Leicester Square is just a few minutes walk away, as is Chinatown which is always worth a stroll round - especially if you’re feeling peckish.
Alternatively, if you’ve done the sights before and would prefer to hit the shops then Regent Street and Oxford Street aren’t too far away.
But don’t forget that included in the package are discount vouchers for Westfield Shopping Centre - it’s a bit further out of town, but easy to get to from Charing Cross station, using either the Northern or Bakerloo line, up to Tottenham Court Road, and changing onto the Central line to Shepherd’s Bush.
With more than five millions website visitors each year, it’s easy to see why Superbreak is so popular - they make everything so easy.
