Going out theatres and music

London's West End has some of the best theatres in the world, so tickets can be expensive. Go in the afternoon; it is of­ten cheaper. There is something for every­body – from a play by the Royal Shake­speare Company at the Barbican Theatre, to Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap (this play began in 1952 and thousands of visi­tors see it every year).

There are lots of cinemas to visit. The most expensive are in the West End, but you can sometimes get cheap tickets on Mondays.

You can hear wonderful music and singing from all over the world at the Roy­al Opera House in Covent Garden, the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington Gore, the London Coliseum in St Martin's Lane, and the Barbican Centre, Silk Street.

For ballet, go to the Sadler's Wells Theatre in Rosebery Avenue, or to the Royal Opera House.

To get cheap tickets, buy them an hour or two before it begins.

Do you like to listen to jazz musicians? You can hear some of the best at Ronnie Scott's Club in Frith Street, or at the Bull's Head, Barnes at Barnes Bridge, or at 100 Club at 100, Oxford Street.

Museums and galleries

The British Museum in Great Russell Street is the biggest museum in Britain. Tickets are free.

The Museum of London at 150, Lon­don Wall is one of the most interesting museums in the city. It tells the story of London and its people.

One more museum that tells a story is the Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI), on the South Bank (under Wa­terloo Bridge). This tells the story of cin­ema and television, and there are many things for visitors to see and do. You can act with actors on a film 'set'. Or you can read the news on TV!

Four million people visit the Nation­al Gallery in Trafalgar Square every year. They come to look at more than two thousand pictures. Tickets are free.

At the National Portrait Gallery in St Martins Place, you can see pictures of famous people. Tickets are free here, too.

The London Dungeon in Tooley Street is a 'Museum of Horror'. Half a million people visit it every year, but they don't always stay to see it all!

Madame Tussaud's in Marylebone Road is famous for its people made from wax. You can see famous people from the past and famous people of today –Nel­son Mandela, Pavarotti, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Sylvester Stallone. And in the 'Chamber of Horrors' you can see some very bad people!

Places and parades The City

Londoners often talk about 'The City'. They are talking about the oldest part of London, the home of the Bank of Eng­land, and many other big offices. About five thousand people live in The City, and at weekends it feels emp­ty. But between Monday and Friday, near­ly half a million people come here to work in the banks and offices. Look for the City men with their dark suits and umbrellas!

St Paul's Cathe­dral is in the mid­dle of The City, and the Bank of Eng­land has an inter­esting museum that you can visit. Also in the The City is a very tall building – 60.6 metres high – called The Monument. Christopher Wren built this, too, and it stands on the place where the Fire of London began in 1666.

Big red buses ... London policemen ... Buckingham Palace ... Speakers' Corner ... Big Ben … – these are some of the things you can find in London.
