Central London & The West End Theatre Special * Just For One Day - The Live Aid Musical

Itinerary

Day 1

Join your coach this morning for your journey towards London and your central hotel in the heart of the West End to check-in.

Tonight it is showtime. Have the opportunity to enjoy a pre-show meal or drinks if you wish to do so ahead of the evening performance of Just for One Day - The Live Aid Musical. Make your own way to the theatre in good time for the start of the show at 7:30pm.

Head back to your hotel after the show to relax and get a good nights sleep.

Day 2

After a filling breakfast, why not join us for the short transfer to Portobello Road Market, one of the most famous street markets in the world!

Alternatively, London is yours to discover at your leisure with Oxford Street just 5 minutes walk away and Covent Garden and the British Museum within a 10 minute walk of the St Giles Hotel. The National Gallery on Trafalgar Square is less than 15 minutes’ walk away so the choice is endless, whether you want to shop, see the sights, visit an amazing museum or gallery. If you are a shopper try Seven Dials near Covent Garden for a quirky change, or for great sightseeing hop on a London bus or try the Thames Clippers for a great hop on hop off waters eye view. If you are a trend and people watcher, then find yourself a cool café on Chelsea's Kings Road and watch the famous and fashionable over a coffee or cocktail. The Kings Road also has fabulous shopping, and the modern Saatchi contemporary art gallery - so you can cover every interest in one place! In the evening, explore the hundreds of fantastic bars and eateries, many of which are close to your hotel.

Day 3

Enjoy a great breakfast this morning before making the most of your central location to do some shopping, or have a lazy morning watching the world go by from a trendy cafe or bar. Alternatively, we will transfer you the short distance to London's Museum District in South Kensington or drop you off at Harrods for a spot of window shopping. The choice is yours. Rejoin your coach later today and relax as you head homewards with some amazing memories and perhaps a bit of shopping or some souvenirs.
