London is a theatre mad city and is justly regarded as the best in the world with Shaftesbury Avenue, Coventry Street and Haymarket as the principle thoroughfares. Many of the major theatres are housed side to side in grand Edwardian building and sell more than 11 million tickets annually! Aside from the big budget productions like Cats and Sunset Boulevard there are many fringe theatres offering productions by prominent playwrights as well as fresh young talents. If you are planning to go to the theatre during your visit to London never risk buying your ticket from a tout in the street, try the 'Half Price Ticket Booth' in Leicester Square which sells good seats half price.

| | Connections for The West End: Tube and bus connections in the West End to the rest of London are excellent. If you are flying into Heathrow Airport, you can take the Airbus or Underground Piccadilly Line. With buses a good number to remember is 15, this will take you round the major tourist attractions at a much cheaper price than an official sight seeing tour!
