Enjoy a Short Break to London

Short Breaks in London with Theatre Breaks

News Update: so Christmas is gone.

It is a long hard slog to that Easter holiday but maybe one of our short breaks in London would be just the thing to book: get away for a couple of days, see a show, do some of the touristy things that you have been promising yourself that one day you will do.

£10 Hotels

Looking for a great deal this winter? Visitors can buy a top price seat for several great West End shows and then get a night in a hotel for just £10pp! Click Here… but please note, this is a different booking system to the one above and deals are midweek only and on specific shows! So you may want to return here if your choice of theatre break is not available at a discount.

Seasonal Theatre Breaks

So now we know that today is a great time to be thinking about heading to London for a short break or theatre break. There are some great shows and some great deals and if you don’t have something to celebrate personally then why not use Valentine’ Day, half term, St Patricks Day or Mothers day as a great excuse!

New shows for a short break in London include A Chorus Line, The Book Of Mormon, Viva Forever and The Bodyguard. The Audience early next year extends the royal theme of the last 12 months too! Also, in the art world exhibitions of the last days of Pompei and a stunning Manet exhibition.

Short Breaks: When is the best time to go?

Half Term Breaks, Easter Breaks, Valentine’s Breaks, Whitsun Breaks, May Day and Diamond Jubilee Breaks – there are a lot of excuses to come to London but maybe you have your own ones. Short breaks are a perfect way to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary or maybe even a hen night! The great attractions are open pretty much every day of the year, every day now there is a world class musical being performed in one of London’s great West End theatres.

Short Breaks Favourite Dates

So here are the dates that should be in your diary between now and your summer holiday. Short Breaks to London are a favourite for any one of them – and with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee we have another holiday to enjoy!

Half Term Dates: from 15 February 2013
Easter Dates: Good Friday 29 March 2013, Easter Sunday 31 March 2013 Easter Monday 01 April 2013

What ever days during the week you chose to come to London there will be a world class show playing to create a highlight to your short break – even Sundays host half -a-dozen shows when just a couple of years ago if you took a short break over a Sunday the theatres in London were “dark”.

The busiest days are Saturdays but fortunately London hotels offer some great deals still – especially for two night stays. And if you book your theatre tickets for the Friday night, or the Saturday matinee, or even a Sunday matinee then you really can get some great discounts on those too.

Short Breaks By Rail

A discounted theatre break is a really great short break! And what do you get included? Half price dining vouchers, Attraction Discount Vouchers and more importantly the opportunity to save money on the rail journey into London.

Our Zonal pricing system means that you can save up to 40% on regular fares and often beat the apex tickets too PLUS you don’t have to commit to a particular train, leaving you free to decide when you want to leave London.
