Often we will turn to the gym or even dig out the running shoes in an attempt to shed the pounds after your Chritmas blow out. We come up with all manner of crazy ideas, but I bet you haven’t thought about a London Theatre Break.
With a London theatre break, staying at one of our many hotels with their own swimming pools your weekend break can become quite the the healthy dream: You only need to add a morning walking round the sales and you can honestly say you’ve gone for the burn!
There is a wide range of pools available, from the roof top pool at the Berkley via the 9 metre silver steel pool at the Corinthia to the 25 metre basement pool at the St Giles Hotel and there is nothing quite like a swim before breakfast! So here is a list. There are more: when you book your break there is a filter to select hotels with pools – tick that to see what is available for your chosen dates.
