There's no business like showbusiness, which is why it's no surprise that London theatre breaks by coach are a popular choice. Normally, whatever's happening in the outside world, we say the show must go on, however, the shows have been on pause for the last year. Don't worry, these award-winning West End shows will raise the roof and spirits alike, where you can escape to a world of colour, music and dance.

There is a range of theatre and hotel packages to suit whatever your plans. With our theatre breaks to London you can travel by coach or self-drive. There are either matinee or evening performances available for all the top West End shows.

London show breaks incorporate a range of 3 or 4* breakfast accommodation in the London area , travel of your choice, hotel to show transfers (depending on the travel method), theatre ticket to your chosen show and of course time for some essential London sightseeing and shopping . For those wishing to make it that little bit more special, you can even upgrade your ticket for a really show-stopping experience.

Our great value  London weekend theatre breaks start from just £159  and takes the hassle away from having to navigate London yourself. Self-drive and day trips are also available. With so many hit shows running from classics like Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera to family favourites Matilda and Wicked , to exciting newcomers like Ain't too Proud  and  Tina Turner the Musical , there's a theatre break to cater for every audience.

Looking more for information about each of the London Theatre shows? Follow the links for more information:

Theatre dress code Theatregoers these days don't dress in black tie or ball-gowns so you can leave those at home. However 'being comfy' is the order of the day so smart but casual dress will be fine.

Etiquette You will be requested to turn off your mobile before the show starts. Also, cameras are prohibited. Don't spoil the enjoyment of others and refrain from talking when you shouldn't be.

When does the show start? Matinee performances start at around 2pm. Evening performances around 7-7.45pm. You'll need to be in your seat approx. 15-30 minutes prior to the show starting otherwise you’ll be let in at a convenient point in the show.

The Interval Should you wish to have a drink or snacks during the interval, order these before the show starts as it will prevent you having to queue.

Is it wheelchair friendly? Please note that the majority of theatres are very old and therefore do not necessarily cater for wheelchairs. It would be wise to enquire about facilities before you decide to book your tickets.

I'd like tickets for a Sunday or Bank Holiday performance? Nearly all West End theatres are only open Mon-Sat. A few now offer Sunday shows but they are an exception. Most theatres only close on Christmas Day.

What's the difference between The Stalls and Dress Circle? The Stalls are located on the ground floor. Dress Circle is the floor above The Stalls. Upper Circle (Grand or Royal) is the next one up. The Balcony is the circle above the Upper Circle.

Where are the best views? Some of the best views are from the middle of The Stalls. Be far enough back so you are not straining your neck. Good views can also be from Dress and Upper Circle. You’ll need binoculars for The Balcony.

What else can you do in London? Shop till you drop in Oxford Street, enjoy the entertainment in Covent Garden, have a wonderful meal in Leicester Square, cruise along The Thames or take a flight on the London Eye.

Where to eat before the show? There are usually a variety of cafes, bars and restaurants located within the vicinity of the theatre. If you mention to your waiter/waitress that you have theatre tickets, they will turn your meal around quickly for you.
