I thought it meant that be useful to have a portmanteau thread here in the London topic, gathering together all the threads that are scattered across other topics, all about how to have a good trip to London.

There are loads of good ideas and helpful tips in them, and I'm hoping that this will be more readily discoverable when they're gathered together. Doing it nice, just ahead of half term, and trying to include all the recent threads from the summer onwards at least.

There are some lovely frequent contributors - if you spot ones I've missed, would you be kind and add them too?

Or just stick more suggestions here

SquirmofEels thanks so much for doing this. I was planning on seeing Noel Coward for my sister's birthday treat but the times we need are not available so I've been looking through your collection of threads. Brilliant. And I know me London, just need reminders and there's plenty here
