A Day in London

My learning group worked hard to finish our KPMG project by EOD Friday. We were successful and had a free day yesterday to do our own things. YAY!

G and I took the train to London Bridge, walked through Borough Market (the market from Bridgette Jones’ Diary), went over to the TATE, walked across the Millenium Bridge, toured St. Paul’s Cathedral (434 stairs to the top…and I didn’t get winded. I guess all this city walking’s doing the trick :), shopped for a new business suit for me (needed a pant suit…skirts and cold don’t mix) and then ended the day with dinner and a show.For the first time since we arrived, we bought tickets from the 1/2 price ticket booth in Leicester Square for a same-day performance. We were flexible and went to “Daddy Cool”. The show was good and worth what we paid for it, but not one of the best we’ve seen.

Next on our list of shows to see:

The History Boys (Alan Bennett’s new show)

Porgy & Bess (rated 5 stars)

Blue Man Group (they’ve been around for years, but I’m sure the show would be fun)

The Mousetrap (Agatha Christie, recommended by friends)

Avenue Q (not sure about this one…looks a bit like Sesame Street?)

G and I have always enjoyed going to the theatre, but we’ve seen all of the big name shows. So, we have to start repeating, or go for the lesser known ones.

We’d love to know if you hear of a great new production receiving favorable reviews.
