Organising a trip to London

If you are coming to London on holiday or for business then seeing a West End show is one of the primary things to do in London. It is always best to plan what are you going to see before your trip – use our Shows Guide or check out the latest West End news on what’s coming to town.

If you haven’t booked your tickets before your trip then you have a few options. Most major ticketing websites such as ours offer ticket sales right up to the day of performance, allowing you to book online and then either use e-tickets that you will have been emailed, or pick up your tickets from the box office.

Also check out our general guide to Visiting London.
