Regents Park is centrally located in a very attractive part of Central London and is close to a variety of other world class attractions such as London Zoo, Madame Tussauds,the Planetarium, and the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

The Woman who wails Advantages: It's a night out? Disadvantages: It isn't very good! ...to Lloyd-Weber’s latest “epic” – the “Woman in White” last night which was an interesting but sadly disappointing experience. Having seen a few of his previous shows – Cats, Starlight Express, Joseph, Phantom, Sunset Boulevard, I had thought that the quality was improving, and his shows are usually entertaining if nothing else, so I was looking forward to a pleasant evening and forked out for 2 top price tickets. Quel erreur! Based on the novel ... ...mysterious, suspenseful psychological thriller, which the press quotes would have you believe is a well written masterpiece full of lush romantic melodies. To be fair – one should always ignore the press quotes though. For example the quotes from the Telegraph are:- 1) "Big, lush romantic melodies" from this sentence:- “It therefore gives me no pleasure at all to report that The Woman in White is a terrible disappointment. Yes, there are moments ... iainc 24.11.2004 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Woman in White	Prices Transport links

That’s settled then – anything else?” “Nope. I think that’ll do for now, that’s probably quite enough for you to be getting on with!” She’s getting more fanatical than me – I’m actually really rather worried… *THE THEATRE* The Princes Theatre was the last theatre to be built on Shaftesbury Avenue and it opened on Boxing Day in 1911 with a production of ‘The Three Muskateers’. ... ...stayed in my head! THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE – the title song sung by Millie and the company. THE SPEED TEST – a sung typing test which just gets faster and faster with the stenographers (typists) tapping tap shoes in the background to simulate the noise of a typewriter. FORGET ABOUT THE BOY – sung by Millie after being hurt by Jimmy. I’M FALLING IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE – sung by Mr Graydon and Miss Elizabeth. Hilarious as this is the song where ...

Not Tonight! I've Got A Headache!! Advantages: Great songs, set etc Disadvantages: Awful script, some weak performances. How can I refuse when the wife says, “I’m working in London soon – shall I go to the half-price ticket booth in Leicester Square to get some theatre tickets for the evening?” She’s quick to learn my lass – or just incredibly good at pandering to my wants… I’d never thought that from our very first date as a bona fide couple to see ‘The Complete Works of Shakespeare’ by the Reduced Shakespeare Company up in Sheffield, she’d be so eager to keep going ... ...working and soon there’ll be another member of the family to educate!! Actually, it will probably be a member of the family through whom Daddy can live all his childhood dreams of being an actor on the West End stage..! Anyway – when theatre is suggested, you lot know I’m not one to refuse... That would be just plain rude! And so it came to pass that we went to see ‘Tonight’s the Night’ at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London’s West End. ***THE ...

"Gold - everywhere the glint of gold..." Advantages: Good narrative, Wonderful objects, Great partnership with Vue Cinema Disadvantages: Expensive, Audio tour could have been better "At first I could see nothing, the hot air escaping from the chamber causing the candle flame to flicker, but presently, as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues and gold - everywhere the glint of gold...I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, "Can you see anything?" it was all I could do ... ...in his book "The Tomb of Tut.ankh.Amen". On November 4th 1922, the excavation team working for beleaguered British archaeologist Howard Carter stumbled upon the top step of the entrance to a hidden tomb. Carter has been hunting for an undisturbed find in the Valley of the Kings for many years without success, and was rapidly coming to the end of both his time and money. Exhausted and facing having to leave Egypt empty-handed, this chance find represented ...
