Last Minute London Weekend Theatre Break

What do you get if you cross the Royal Opera House, Jasper Conran and British Airways? Well I am glad you asked! You get best seats at special discount price for next weekend's ballets at the Royal Opera House (2nd or 3rd June). Add to that accommodation at the four star Kingsway Hall Hotel to complete the perfect weekend in London which will be rounded off by a flight in the BA London Eye.

The ballet is David Bintley's Arthur part 1 - a legend in the making, and no it's nothing to do with Dudley Moore and the late Sir John Gielgud! This epic ballet cycle depicts the battle of good over evil; the centre piece of the Arthurian legends. Jasper Conran's costume designs add the cherry to the top of the visual cream provided by the dancers of the Birmingham Royal Ballet. To take the food analogy to its sweet conclusion, the icing on the cake is provided by Peter J Davison's designs.

The elegant Kingsway Hall Hotel is a luxury four star hotel just two minutes walk from the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, and if you like your hotel room to be full of gadgets and facilities this is the place for you. It is fully air-conditioned with non-smoking floors. The British Airways London Eye needs no introduction. It is the most recognised addition to the London skyline since Tower Bridge was opened by Bertie, Prince of Wales and his Danish Princess Alexandra over 100 years ago. Everyone that has experienced the 30 minute flight will agree that it is an unforgettable experience and should be on the agenda of every visitor to London.

One night's bed and breakfast at the hotel with a top price seat for the ballet and a ticket to the London Eye is being offered by my favourite ticket agent for the incrediblt price of just £109 per person, inclusive of service and taxes, based on two people sharing a twin or double room. This is a saving of nearly £100 for two people which will buy you and your lucky Lady an admirable dinner at The Ivy, a continuing favourite after-theatre rendezvous of mine since I worked for the Shaftesbury Theatre management 40 years ago.

This last minute offer is available from my chum Simon at Theatre Breaks Ltd for the evening performances of Friday 2nd June and Saturday 3rd June and the matinee performance of Saturday June 3rd. And don't forget Ladies, Euro2000 Football Tournament starts the following week. That man in your life can earn big Brownie points by taking you off for a romantic London weekend before he settles down to a marathon football session in front of the Television set. Booking instructions are in my Travel Tips at the end of this article. Simon promises to come up with a number of last minute weekend offers like this one, so watch this space!
