Many people theme their stays in London around a specific event or occasion, and there’s no better way to enjoy a stay in London than by seeing a West End show. A hotel stay in one of our central London hotels will make the perfect base for one of the many fantastic shows on offer currently. Today we’re going to share our complete guide to London theatre trips and the top shows to see this summer.
Book a London Hotel Stay for Your Theatre Trip
Before even considering which show you want to see in London, you’ll want to think about where you should stay to enjoy a visit to the West End. Our Bloomsbury Palace Hotel and Hotel Cavendish on Gower Street are both ideally located for the West End, so you’ll be able to walk to and from the theatre. They are great options for anyone also wishing to see many of the city’s top attractions, as you’ll be just a short walk or tube ride away from popular locations such as Leicester Square, Covent Garden, and Buckingham Palace.
Top Shows to See This Summer
West End shows are constantly changing, but you’ll find there are some amazing options on right now. These are a few of our top picks for a summer 2023 visit to London.
The Lion King
One of our all-time favourite London musicals is The Lion King. This show is perfect for visitors of all ages and is based on the classic animated Disney movie. The sets and choreography of the show are incredibly clever, and you’ll love how the actors manage to bring the animal characters to life on stage. If you get the chance, sitting in a box in the theatre here is a unique experience, as the performers sometimes visit the boxes as part of the show.
Matilda The Musical
Another great show for families is Matilda The Musical. You’ll be blown away by the talented young cast of the show, who perform on a fun stage with elements such as swings as part of the scenery. This show is performed in the Cambridge Theatre, which is located close to our Bloomsbury Palace Hotel and Hotel Cavendish.
Frozen
Based on the popular Disney movie, Frozen has been one of the most exciting additions to the West End in the last few years. You’ll see characters such as Elsa, Anna, and Olaf on the stage, which has one of the most stunning sets in the city.
Les Misérables
The classic musical has been performed on the West End for many years now and is one of the best shows for adults vising London. It’s a more sombre performance than the other shows we’ve featured here today, but it has an extremely talented cast and it’s a show that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime.
Wicked
Located near Victoria Station, you may need to get a quick tube ride to get to this theatre. Wicked has an impressive modern set and incredible cast and is a show that teenagers in particular will enjoy.
