One of the most useful resources I’ve come across for planning London theatre breaks is the Theatre Breaks Wiki, a website that anybody can edit in a similar vein to Wikipedia, but all about London Theatre. I think this means that in the longer run, most of the information on the theatrebreaks.co site is going to end up more accurate and better kept up to date than anywhere else on the web, even some sites which have a team of people looking after them, to a fashion. At present there seems to be a bit of a mess on the front page, with one page for each new musical play and some old ones – plus a page for each of the West End and fringe theatres in London. I can also see some cope for pages about some of the better known singers and actors on the West End scene. Theatre Breaks Wiki The best thing about this site is how easy it is to make a correction or small addition if you see something that is wrong or needs updating or adding to. It’s pretty easy to cross reference everything too, so that should help the people who like fiddling with these kind of things to keep it on track for the purpose intended, helping people planning London breaks and theatre breaks but why just in London? Some of the best shows start out in other UK cities, or regional theatres. Ghost for examle, which may be one of the biggest new musicals next year, is starting out with a serious run in Manchester before moving to London. The there are all the plays which earn their spurs at the Chichester, Bath or Edinburgh festivals before being picked up for a West End transfer to one of the big London theatres. But I digress because this is the London Breaks blog and that has to be the main purpose in this space – to help people decide on, plan and book London Breaks which doesn’t always have to mean theatre breaks at all. There are plenty of other things to do in London, such as go to a concert or a large sporting event. Hang out in one of the trendy areas or go on a river trip. The museums and art galleries are second to none, well maybe Paris breaks if pushed. And then there are the parks and open green spaces, the fabulous world cuisine restaurants and the famous London shops and markets.
