Things to do in London, England: The Best Fun Activities & Games

August 26, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

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).

Phoenix Theatre

Owned and operated by Ambassdor Theatre Group (ATG) the Phoenix was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott and Bertie Crewe. It opened in 1930 with the premiere of Noel Coward's Private Lives starring the author, Gertrude Lawrence and Laurence Olivier. Many star actors have appeared at the theatre including Maggie Smith, Diana Rigg, John Gielgud, Dustin Hoffman, Derek Jacobi, Kenneth Branagh and Stephen Fry. More recently the theatre has presented a number of successful musicals including, between 1991 and 2012, Willy Russell's Blood Brothers which became the theatre's longest-running show and was seen by over 5 million people. The theatre is now home to the award-winning Broadway musical Once.

I visited on 21/09/20, the 2nd Anniversary of the memorial plaque to David Cassidy, along with visits to the Phoenix Garden where David has a second plaque on the wishing wall, "I only Wanna make you happy" in addition to Dreams, wishes and Happy trails plaque, a visit also, to St Giles in the Fields Church, who hold a memorial book you can sign, in memory of David Cassidy and where candles are lit in his memory, twice a year with a memorial table display in remembrance. A Tranquil setting off of the busy Charing Cross Road, The Theatre, Church and the Garden, each have their own Unique History, to uncover.

First Pam Jam on Zoom and I really enjoyed it. The theme surrealism was fun and playful and everyone created unique paintings. The music kept your creative spark going throughout and Dalia was an inspiring host! Will definitely be booking again in 2021.

The Top Secret Comedy Club is the best I've been to in London, and I'm a real comedy lover. The comedians have always been 5*, hilarious and you'd pay good money to see them in a live show. The interaction with the audience is always a good amount, and consistently funny. These are the things that keep you coming back again and again. The manager Mark was also extremely helpful in sorting out a last minute issue I encountered - great customer service turns a good night into a great night. I would recommend anyone and everyone to come and enjoy an affordable and very funny night at the Top Secret Comedy Club.
