London Quick Stop

Even though we are only staying one night we ended up in a 3bd apartment right next to Leicester and Trafalgar squares.  Our only plan for London was the go to a musical so I wanted a place in this area (20 or so theaters in this neighborhood) and also off the Piccadilly line so that it would be a non stop tube trip from Heathrow. Unfortunately most places were pretty pricey except for this apartment we rented that had great reviews. I should have noticed that all the reviews gushed only about the location. Its not bad for the price just kinda worn.

After getting into the apartment we went to the half price ticket office around the corner to find a musical to attend. I think theatre business caters to the tourists as there is so many to choose from. We also stopped by the local grocery store to get lunch to take back to the apartment. You can’t beat Tescos 3£ sandwich/chips/pop bundle and of course we needed food for tomorrows breakfast.

We were pretty tired back at the apartment so to prevent anyone from taking a nap and making it harder to time adjust we went back out.  We stopped at the National Gallery, people watched at Trafalgar Square and checked out the Christmas market and shops in Leicester Square.   Did you know there is a huge shop that just sells M&M candy in every color and swag?

Our wandering eventually took us to the New London Theater where we watched School of Rock. It was fun show with amazing child musicians. Even with the high energy performance I still had to poke the boys a few times to wake them during the performance.
