London is easily the centre for musicals, comedy and plays in Europe with Paris showing only a fraction of the shows so if it’s big shows you are looking for then London theatre breaks are the way to go. It’s not simply each of the individual shows which alone might justify a visit, but the sheer concentration of great theatrical entertainment in one small area of the capital. London must surely boast more traditional theatres per square mile than anywhere else on the planet, and within London’s Theatreland they are all protected listed buildings of significant architectural interest.
