Next month a group of my friends and I are all heading down to London for the weekend. Because we live in a very small town in the north of England, it’s not often that we get to see the bright lights of a major city. Manchester is just a bit too far away to get to on a regular basis, and of course, although it is a great city, it will be nice to go somewhere completely different.
For the most part, we are all looking forward to hitting the west end more than anything else. We managed to find a hotel right in the middle of the west end which wasn’t too expensive, which means that all of the great things you can do in the west end will be right on our door step.
On the first night I think that we will concentrate on getting to know the local area, and we will probably head to one of the famous clubs in the area, and do a bit of celebrity spotting! Of course all of the days are going to be dedicated to shopping, with Covent Garden’s independent clothes retailers a definite!
The second night will be a Saturday night, and that will be the main night of the weekend for us. We have already managed to find some cheap tickets for the theater online, so the evening will revolve round our trip to see Chicago! We really can’t wait, and we’ve heard that there are a number of lovely little restaurants in and around the theatre we are visiting.
Our London trip should be absolutely fantastic. As much as anything, it will be great to get away from it all for a while, and the bright lights and excitement of London are the perfect antidote when a bit of boredom starts to creep into your life.
