It's the wife's birthday on 30th May and we're planning on a night away somewhere, anytime from Sat 30th May to Sat 6th June. My original plan was to catch a gig in London and spend a couple of days seeing the sights, doing a bit of shopping etc. but the big gigs in London that week seem to be Britney Spears and Boyzone. I did see Lynrd Skynrd advertised but I don't think the missus would be up for that  So, I'm after a few ideas of nice things to do, things to see, places to visit and a place to get our head down for one night (whether in London or elsewhere). Thankyou please. |

Malmaison always a very good bet for hotels although can be a tad pricey depending on the rate you get. http://www.malmaison.com/the-hotels |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

I was in there a couple of years back...I'm surprised it's your scene JFW as I thought it a bit traditional...what with being a railway hotel and all. Shame you weren't there at the same time we could have swapped stories on railwayana. |

Well, think it had been tarted up when I was there summer before last, but they'd obviously and quite rightly made a big effort to maintain something of its original feel |

I googled for theatre and hotel breaks last year, got a lush hotel in the West End and seats at the front for about £120. Shame the show was Dirty Dancing. More Sippos sort of thing than mine..
