Does anyone have any experience of booking tickets to see a show/play in the West End? Thinking of taking someone at Easter there, though ideally will need somewhere to stay too. I've heard of bumper tickets where you can get the ticket and hotel room for about £50 each - anyone got any clues/experience on this? I'm hopeless....  |

I might have to stretch that, but to be honest I'm willing to go to about £130-140 for the night. Where did you buy the tickets from? If the worst comes to the worst she come back to my room at you-knee, but it's a single bed.... |

I got mine from lastminute.com. Also used Superbreak, but expect to pay in the order of £120 plus for anything decent. I stayed in a Radisson hotol opposite the British Museum, very nice too and less than two minutes walk to the tube.
