Welcome to London, home to some of the best theatre in the world.
This is the city that saw Shakespeare quill his vast catalogue of comedies and tragedies, all celebrated as some of the best literary works known to mankind.
This is the city that brought us iconic musicals such as Les Miserables, Cats and Mamma Mia, which were all influential in helping shape and popularise theatre as we know it today.
This is the city for THEATRE, DARLING!
