Entertainment in London

Come nightfall, the entertainment and leisure scene is astounding. London's restaurant scene is staggering, with the rise of British and London-based celebrity chefs and their restaurants, to smaller and more intimate restaurants offering a remarkable range of cuisines. If bars and clubbing is not quite your idea of a great night out, perhaps a night at the theatre or concert might appeal to you. London is also home to many internationally acclaimed arts groups, and each season, they offer a wide range of theatrical or arts productions.

Popular musicals such as Les Miserables, The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Mamma Mia!, and so on, are mainstay offerings for tourists in search for some night entertainment. There are also other music and dance performances available at different clusters. While the West end is renowned for its popular culture after-dinner scene, the South Bank Center is home to the National Theatre, Hayward Gallery and Royal Festival Hall, and there is a range of dance, theatre and music performances available throughout the year. The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden offers ballet and opera, while Sadler's Wells is a dance and music venue.
