Plan your London experience

Plan London around neighbourhoods, not a checklist. A Westminster sightseeing stop, a Thames journey and an evening in the West End can make a varied day, but journeys across the city need room in the itinerary.

Choose your fixed-time booking first, then fit flexible sightseeing around it. For theatre, compare the seat location as well as the price; for river trips, distinguish a single journey from a sightseeing cruise or a hop-on pass.

Leave time between an attraction visit and an evening show. Check which pier, entrance or theatre your ticket names before setting off.

About this experience and booking advice

Book tickets for the London Christmas Lights Bus and Hop-on Hop-off Boat Tour Use this page to book tickets for the London Christmas Lights Bus and Hop-on Hop-off Boat Tour. The product is a joint ticket, not a single vehicle. One part is a one-day hop-on hop-off pass for Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. The other part is a 90-minute City Sightseeing Christmas lights bus tour. Official Thames Clippers copy says you receive your ticket by email and use the same ticket for boat travel and the bus tour. The boat pass is the hop-on hop-off element. You travel the river at your own pace on the date stated on the boat ticket. The bus is a timed Christmas lights loop, not a hop-on hop-off day bus. Official City Sightseeing language treats that lights tour as a booked date and time slot. The bus ticket cannot be used to board any other City Sightseeing tour. Browse other things to do in London if you want a simple night bus only. Come back here when you want both the river day pass and the festive street loop on one order. What the combined bus and boat ticket includes VervTrip inclusions for this listing are a one-day hop-on hop-off boat tour, a 90-minute bus tour, and commentary on the bus. Food and drinks, hotel transfers, tips, and entry to landmarks are not included. Official Thames Clippers joint-ticket notes add that Christmas lights bus tours run from 13 November 2026 to 2 January 2027, and that all sales are final on that operator's own terms. This VervTrip listing also states that these tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled. On the river, the current product copy points to riverside landmarks after dark, including Big Ben, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, and the Tower of London. You use the boat ticket to move between piers on the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers hop-on hop-off network for that day. The boat is not a guided Christmas lights commentary cruise. It is river travel that you time yourself. The City Sightseeing lights bus, not a hop-on bus After the river, or before it, you board the City Sightseeing Christmas lights tour. Official City Sightseeing copy describes a 90-minute open-top double-decker loop from Stop 22 at Haymarket, 29 Haymarket, London SW1Y 4SP, outside the former Tiger Tiger site. The bus tour includes commentary. Check your booking details for the commentary format included with your selected tour. Official City Sightseeing sights for the lights tour include Oxford Street stars, Regent Street angels, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, and Westminster Bridge. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the bus departure, as Thames Clippers states for the joint ticket. The bus ticket is valid only for the date and time shown. How to plan the river pass around the timed bus The useful planning point is the split format. Use the boat pass in daylight or late afternoon, then hold the evening for the 90-minute lights bus. Or ride the bus first and use remaining boat validity if the date still allows. The bus is not hop-on hop-off, so you can't leave and rejoin it. Official notes also say there are no refunds for late arrivals or no-shows on the joint ticket. If you only want the Haymarket lights bus, buy the standalone City Sightseeing Christmas Lights Bus Tour. If you want a South Bank viewpoint after the river, compare London Eye admission tickets and leave a clear gap after the 90-minute bus. Buy the London Christmas lights bus and boat tickets Select a date on this page to buy tickets for the London Christmas Lights Bus and Hop-on Hop-off Boat Tour. Check that you are comfortable with a timed bus slot plus a same-date river pass, and that you can reach Haymarket Stop 22 in time. Prices at checkout are VervTrip prices for this combo. They are not Thames Clippers or City Sightseeing walk-up fares. When you are ready, book tickets for this London Christmas lights bus and boat tour and use the river pass and the festive open-top loop on the same joint ticket.

About this experience and booking advice

Magic Mike Live London tickets at the Hippodrome Casino Magic Mike Live is a 90-minute, adults-only dance show at the Hippodrome Casino on Cranbourn Street, a one-minute walk from Leicester Square station. It was conceived by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin and co-directed by Alison Faulk, and it grew out of the Magic Mike films. The 360-degree staging puts performers in front of, above and all around you, so there is no passive "front row" to hide in. You book a date and time on VervTrip, then receive your voucher by email. This is not a book musical. Expect dance, acrobatics, musical numbers, humour and plenty of audience interaction, with a cast that works the whole room. It suits a girls' night out, a hen party, a birthday or a fun evening with friends. If you also want a classic show on the same trip, keep it for another night, for example The Lion King or Moulin Rouge! The Musical. What to expect from the show The running time is about 90 minutes with no interval, so settle in before the start. The show mixes choreographed group numbers with solo moments, aerial work and surprises that the producers keep under wraps. It is playful and cheeky, with themes of empowerment and a lot of laughter. Please note that strobe lighting and theatrical smoke are used during the performance. Channing Tatum does not perform in the London show. The venue has a bar, a cloakroom and restrooms, so you can check in a coat before you take your place. Age limit, ID and dress code Magic Mike Live is strictly for guests aged 18 and over, and the age check is firm. Every guest must carry a valid physical, government-issued photo ID, such as a passport or driving licence. Digital photos of ID are not accepted, and neither are BRPs or eVisas. If you cannot show an accepted ID, entry will be refused and the ticket cannot be refunded. The dress code is smart casual. Choose something you are comfortable in for 90 minutes, because the evening is about having fun. Casino staff can refuse entry to anyone they judge to be intoxicated, and latecomers are admitted at a suitable point in the show, so arrive early. Getting there and planning your night The Hippodrome Casino is at Cranbourn Street, Leicester Square, London WC2H 7JH. Leicester Square station is about one minute away, Piccadilly Circus about three minutes and Charing Cross about five. Allow extra time on busy nights for the casino door check and the ID check, then pick up a drink at the bar. The building has step-free access, accessible seating and an assistive hearing system. Leicester Square sits next to Chinatown and Covent Garden, which makes a pre-show dinner easy. For wider plans, browse things to do in London, or use our West End runtime guide to time dinner around a 90-minute show. Booking Magic Mike Live tickets on VervTrip Choose your date and time, add up to ten tickets to one booking, and check out on VervTrip. Your Magic Mike Live voucher is emailed to you, and you do not need to print it, but you must bring your physical photo ID. The tickets cannot be cancelled or refunded, so check your date, time and everyone's ID before you pay.

About this experience and booking advice

Book Billy Elliot The Musical tickets for the West End return at the Adelphi Theatre from 12 February to 31 July 2027, the first London staging in over a decade. Elton John’s score, Lee Hall’s book and lyrics, and the original creative team led by director Stephen Daldry bring back the story of a boy who discovers ballet during the 1980s miners’ strike. Buy Billy Elliot tickets on VervTrip when you want dated seats for this limited 25-week run, then browse more London theatre. About Billy Elliot The Musical Adapted from the 2000 film, the musical follows young Billy as he stumbles into a ballet class and finds a passion that clashes with his working-class community. Themes of family, class and self-discovery sit beside high-energy dance numbers and ballads such as Electricity. The show has won four Olivier Awards and ten Tony Awards. This revival reunites key creatives including choreographer Peter Darling’s legacy staging language and Stephen Daldry’s direction, at the Adelphi Theatre on the Strand. Billy Elliot The Musical: what to expect at the Adelphi Running time is about 2 hours 50 minutes including one interval, based on operator show details. The production includes strong language, scenes of domestic conflict and some violence, plus repetitive flashing lights, pyrotechnics, smoke, haze and smoking effects. Age guidance is 8+. Children under 4 are not admitted. Anyone aged 15 or under must be accompanied by an adult aged 18+ and may not sit alone. Every audience member needs their own ticket. Dress is smart casual. Theatre facilities include bar, restrooms, cloakroom and accessible toilets; the house is wheelchair accessible with accessible seating and assistive listening devices. Billy Elliot The Musical: getting to the Adelphi Theatre The Adelphi sits on the Strand between Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden, with Underground and rail options at Charing Cross and easy walks from Embankment and Covent Garden stations. Build in time for West End security queues, especially on weekend evenings. If you are dining nearby, book a table that leaves a clear buffer before curtain so you are not walking in during the overture. Billy Elliot The Musical: how to buy tickets and cancellation These tickets cannot be cancelled or rescheduled. Choose your date and seat category carefully at checkout, then show your mobile voucher with photo ID if asked. The Adelphi is at 409-412 Strand, WC2E 7NN, with strong links from Charing Cross and Covent Garden. Arrive early for security checks that are common on West End doors. Why see Billy Elliot in London in 2027 Limited runs sell in layers, so booking early helps if you want specific seats for a milestone title. Pair the night with other West End favourites such as The Lion King or Hamilton if you are building a multi-show trip. For venue orientation, use the Adelphi theatre page before you travel. If you are bringing teenagers, the coming-of-age story lands clearly, but preview the content notes on conflict and effects if anyone is sensitive to strobe or smoke. If you loved the film, expect stage set pieces that expand the dance language beyond the screen version while keeping the Durham strike setting at the centre of the plot.

About this experience and booking advice

About The Lives of OthersThe Lives of Others is a play at the Adelphi Theatre, a strictly limited West End transfer of the National Theatre production. Robert Icke adapts and directs Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's 2006 Oscar-winning film for the stage, with a cast led by Keira Knightley as Christa-Maria Sieland, Luke Thompson as the playwright Georg Dreyman, and Stephen Dillane as Stasi officer Gerd Wiesler.The production opened at the National Theatre to strong reviews and Olivier recognition before this West End run from 14 October 2026 to 9 January 2027. Hildegard Bechtler designs, with original music by Max Richter and lighting by Jon Clark. Running time is around two hours including one fifteen minute interval, and the production is recommended for ages 14 and above.What to expectSet in East Berlin in the mid 1980s, the play follows a loyal Stasi officer assigned to bug the flat of a celebrated playwright and his actress partner. The long days of listening start to do something to him that surveillance is not supposed to do, and a routine operation slowly turns into a study of conscience, art, and the cost of watching another person's life.Icke's stage adaptation keeps the film's quiet tension and adds a theatre-specific weight: the audience is, in effect, the second pair of ears in the room. Tickets cover one performance on the date and seat you select from the live Adelphi seating plan, across stalls, dress circle and upper circle. There are no exchanges or refunds once a booking is confirmed.The Adelphi Theatre and getting thereThe Adelphi Theatre, on the Strand in the heart of things to do in London, is an Art Deco house that opened in its current form in 1930 and seats about 1,500. Charing Cross is the closest Underground and rail station, with Covent Garden and Embankment a short walk away. For seating notes, full schedules and other shows at the venue, see the Adelphi Theatre schedule.

About this experience and booking advice

Book The Book of Mormon tickets for a West End night in London If you want a night that is loud, funny, and unapologetically sharp, buy The Book of Mormon tickets and settle in at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London. The show sits on Coventry Street, so you can eat nearby, walk in from Piccadilly Circus or Leicester Square, and be seated before the overture. This page is for planning that evening: how the night usually runs, who the comedy suits, and what to expect once the house lights go down. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone with Robert Lopez, the musical follows Elders Price and Cunningham as they leave Salt Lake City for a remote Ugandan village. What starts as a mission story becomes a satire about faith, optimism, and cultural clash, wrapped in big musical-theatre numbers. Songs such as "Hello," "I Believe," and "Hasa Diga Eebowai" keep the pace high, while quieter scenes give the cast room to land both the jokes and the heart underneath them. How an evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre usually runs Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Security checks and finding your row take longer than you think on a busy West End night, and latecomers are only seated during a suitable break. The Prince of Wales Theatre is at Coventry Street, London W1D 6AS. Bars and concession stands serve interval drinks; food and drinks stay out of the auditorium, phones stay off, and photography is not allowed during the performance. Running time is about 2 hours 20 minutes including one interval, so the night from doors to curtain call fits a dinner-and-show plan. Wheelchair users should arrange access in advance. An infrared sound amplification system is available, with headsets from the cloakroom. After the show, Coventry Street stays lively, which makes a late bite or a short walk back to the Tube straightforward. Who this show is for This is adult comedy. Explicit language and mature themes mean the production is recommended for ages 18 and above. Children under 3 are not admitted, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. If your group wants spectacle and family-friendly storytelling instead, look at other London musicals on VervTrip. If you want satire that punches and then surprises you with sincerity, this is the one. What you will see on stage Expect slick staging, tight choreography, and a cast that treats every punchline as a set piece. The West End production has been a fixture since 2013 and arrives with nine Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score, plus a Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album and Olivier recognition including Best New Musical. Those credits explain why popular dates move quickly; the live energy in the room is the real draw. The tone flips between outrageous humour and unexpected warmth. You watch missionaries collide with a community facing poverty, illness, and local belief systems, and the writers refuse easy answers. That mix is why the show still packs the house years after opening: it is rude, musical, and oddly moving in the same breath. For another West End musical on the same trip, compare Les Misérables tickets at the Sondheim Theatre. Build a London theatre night around your seats Pair the evening with other West End plans if you are in town for a few days. Many visitors book The Lion King tickets for a more family-leaning night, or compare this satire with the green-and-pink spectacle of Wicked tickets. For a wider browse of shows and day plans, start from the London experiences hub on VervTrip and shape the rest of the trip around curtain times. When you are ready, book tickets for The Book of Mormon in London for the date that fits your travel, then leave time for dinner nearby and the walk to the theatre. Arrive early, switch your phone off, and let the overture do the rest.

Six

Book SIX the Musical tickets in London for the pop concert retelling of Henry VIII's wives at the Vaudeville Theatre. 80 minutes, no interval, live band.

Listed duration: 80 minutes

From US$57.02Check dates & tickets

About this experience and booking advice

Book SIX the Musical tickets in London Buy SIX the Musical tickets for the Vaudeville Theatre in London and you walk into a pop concert, not a costume drama. Henry VIII's six wives take the mic as a live girl group. Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, and Katherine Parr each get a solo, then they join forces and refuse to be a footnote in someone else's story. The songs mix Tudor history with chart pop. Ex-Wives opens the night, Don't Lose Your Head and Haus of Holbein keep the pace high, and Heart of Stone gives Jane Seymour the ballad the room goes quiet for. Each queen channels a different contemporary sound, from big R&B belting to bright electropop, so the 80 minutes never settle into one groove. There is no interval. The all-female Ladies in Waiting band sit above the stage and drive the show like a festival set. You book seats for an intimate Strand house, close enough to catch the LED corsets, the platform boots, and the looks the queens throw at each other. Flashing lights, strobe, haze, and a loud PA are part of the design. If you already know the West End through Lion King tickets, this is a different night: shorter, louder, and built around six women who keep the spotlight. What to expect at the Vaudeville Theatre SIX runs about 80 minutes with no break, which is the point. The Vaudeville Theatre on the Strand holds around 690 seats, so even the back of the dress circle still feels close. The Ladies in Waiting play live throughout. Costumes read as concert fashion with a Tudor silhouette rather than museum replicas. Arrive 30 minutes early. Security checks are routine, and latecomers only go in at a suitable pause, which on this show is rare. Complete the Nimax online check-in from the email you receive around 72 hours before the performance, then bring the mobile e-ticket and photo ID. Photography during the show is not allowed. Hearing assistance (Sennheiser RF headsets) is free when stock lasts. The recommended age is 10+, and it sits more comfortably at 12+ because the queens talk frankly about marriage, divorce, and execution, even when the tone is comic. Children under 15 need an adult over 18. There is no formal dress code. Plenty of people wear a favourite queen. If you want a second West End booking the same trip, Wicked tickets are a longer, more traditional musical on the other side of Theatreland. For another West End musical on the same trip, compare Les Misérables tickets at the Sondheim Theatre. How to get there and when to buy The Vaudeville Theatre is at 404 Strand, London WC2R 0NH, a short walk from Charing Cross and Embankment. Covent Garden is close for food before the show. Because SIX has no interval, eat and use the bar first. Last-minute SIX the Musical tickets in London do appear, but popular Friday and Saturday evenings go first. Book through VervTrip when you know your date so you can pick seats on the map rather than taking a surprise allocation. Use the night as one stop on a wider London tickets trip if you are in town for more than one show. Check in, silence your phone, and let the queens take the room.
