15 Things to Do in London During the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
When you’re not celebrating Her Maj’s record-breaking royal tenure, here’s how to make the most of your time in London.
The Aldwych Theatre stages performances of popular musicals, such as Fame, Dirty Dancing, and Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. Book a ticket in advance to ensure a seat. Choose between different ticket types to suit different budgets: tickets with unobstructed views are typically pricier than those with side-on or partially restricted views of the stage. Some ticket packages include a pre-theater dinner at a Covent Garden restaurant.
*The Aldwych Theatre’s long-running shows are a must for musical fans. *The theater does not have a dress code. *Performances with a sign language interpreter are occasionally staged. *Wheelchair accessible seats are available in the Dress Circle and in select boxes, while step-free access to the theater is via a side entrance on Drury Lane.
The Aldwych Theatre is situated in the heart of London’s West End. Take the Tube (Piccadilly line) to Covent Garden. The theater is less than 10 minutes’ walk from there. Holborn (Central and Piccadilly lines), Charing Cross (Northern and Bakerloo lines), and Temple (Circle and District lines) Underground stations are also within walking distance.
Arrive at least 30 minutes before the performance start time to allow for security checks and the opportunity to grab a drink in one of the theater’s two bars. The auditorium itself opens 30 minutes before the show.
