There are more galleries than even the most untiring of art lovers could possibly appreciate in a week and museum collections scholars travel the world to see. But one of the best and most adored London outings is the theatre, and with good reason.

More than 10 million people visit the theatres of the West End every year. It has been the home of British theatre for centuries. Beautiful old theatre buildings like the Criterion are testament to the enduring popularity of West End plays, and add an extra element to any performance. Any style or genre can be found to suit any taste, from Disney musicals to music hall variety to Les Miserables and Shakespeare.

It’s worth shopping around on the internet and finding one with the right character and ambience to go with your theatre weekend. Boutique London hotels with style and charm are perfect. The Grange Fitzrovia, for instance, is right in the heart of the West End and fits perfectly into the architectural ambience of the historic district.
