Things to do in London, England: The Best Concerts & Shows

March 16, 2022 Janean Rudisill

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Mamma Mia! The Party

Created by ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! The Party is a new and unique entertainment experience that puts you in the heart of the action. Over the course of more than five hours, you’ll enjoy a spectacular show, a four-course gourmet Mediterranean meal and an ABBA disco all in one unforgettable evening.

It is brilliant ???? Such a great evening with lots and lots of food and singing and dancing with all your favourite ABBA songs! You are part of the performance, there is no doubt about it. It had a warm and fun vibe and it simply is a party atmosphere! Lots of singing and dancing with a brilliant cast, but it was a also a great story line with a lot of comedy in it. Definitely worth the money!!

Abba: Super Troupers The Exhibition

ABBA: Super Troupers The Exhibition brings to life the world of chart-topping Swedish pop sensation ABBA - Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid (“Frida”) Lyngstad. This new and immersive experience charts their music, lyrics, creative process and influence as one of the most iconic pop bands of the modern age.

This exhibit from the ABBA Museum in Stockholm is so much better that the South Bank exhibit of the same name that was there a few years ago. The price includes an audio guide which describes each room and offers interviews with the group members and the museum curator, plus all of the songs on each album. After two introductory rooms, each room is devoted to one album. The final room shows a video of ABBA's legacy. It's a great place to go before experiencing Mamma Mia! The Party just next door.

When Magic Goes Wrong

Reviewed By _designandinternet - London, United Kingdom

Birthday treats with the family! Had been a hectic weekend and was lagging in energy to get to this Sunday afternoon show - heard good things, and saw Peter Pan Goes Wrong at Alexandra Palace during Yule time. So, pleased we made it! What a blast - very funny, particularly, the MIND (mind > mind > mind > mind) MANGLER - found his role very funny. It's a good one and definitely a trip for family and friends. The art of and timing of getting things wrong on purpose is a skill and one these guys have perfected. Nice work, keep it up. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!! Thanks!

Thank you Up The Creek for putting together Saturday 5th Feb line up of compare Michael Legge and comics @Jimmy James Jones, @Paul Thorne and Mike Gunn (Comedian). All comics worked the lively crowd exceptionally well. An exceptional night that had me laughing hard all night, so hard I woke up with a sore throat. That has never happened before at a comedy club. Own brew craft beer, bar service could be improved. But exceptional nite. Thank you Up the Creek Comedy Club — at Up the Creek Comedy Club

The O2 arena

Reviewed By snooks5970 - Holt, United Kingdom

Wow,Music For The Marsden. What an awesome evening. First visit to the O2 arena. Really impressed with the security and also the speed of people going through to the arena bearing in mind that it holds 20,000seats! Amazed by all the outlets inside for food and drink,however it is very expensive so consider yourself warned! 1x250ml and 1x175ml glass of wine £18. We had been told over again by various people that drinks were not allowed into the event but this is wrong,plastic glasses allow you to take your drink which you are going to sip to your seat. When a show/concert states start time 1930, why are people still pouring in to find their seat so much later than this and then stopping on the aisle steps blocking everyones view of the stage,people that have got there on time!!!REALLY REALLLY ANNOYING. Staff were great throughout. Once the concert had ended,how amazing,thousands of people walking through,a great atmosphere and so well co-ordinated.You would expect to be stuck in a mass queue at the station platform bu thanks to the staff from O2 as well as security and police guiding you all through you find yourself back to where you need to be in next to no time. Sooo,yes the evening cost us a fortunate but what an amazing experience,evening and memory we have. Thanks to all concerned.
