Elf's Shrine

First full day in London! So exciting that we are starting our West End escapade!! First thing we did inthe morning was to go off and buy ourselves tickets to Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and Wicked.

This is what we were planning for the entire trip!! I've always wanted to watch musicals in West End and Broadway. So now.. I next need to plan a trip to Broadway!

We got our tickets at Leicester Square. There are tonnes of discount ticketing booths there. You can just buy tickets from any of them. They are official. If you choose to buy from a random person standing in the streets... I don't know how that will turn out.

Afte getting the tickets, we went to get lunch at this place called Steak . Co.  The food there isn't too bad and the service is really good. Only problem was when the beef on hot stones came out, it can get really smokey if there are a few plates of em at the same time. The ventilation is a bit shot.

After lunch, since we still had some hours to go before Phantom, we decided to walk around the area. We went to Foyles (a huge bookstore), TKMAXX, Primark (really cheap clothing and accessories here!!) and that made the hours pass by real quick. Dinner was KFC and then... it was onto the main event!!

Phantom of the Opera needs no introduction. But if you need an introduction, feel free to google it. Our seats were 5 rows from the front, which was amazing to me cos I've never sat so near the front before The theatre was rather cosy as well. I suppose that with such a long running show, you don't really need such a large theatre..... maybe. Phantom is a non discounted show, meaning that you probably won't be able to get discounted tickets at the half price booths. I'm not sure whether this is true all the time, but just a note for you.

Well.
Lovely Day.

And Phantom was good.
