KeymasterParking near Big Ben can be quite challenging and expensive, as it’s a very central and busy area. There are a few car parks in Westminster, but they fill up quickly. I’d highly recommend using public transport (tube or bus) to get to Big Ben, as it’s much more convenient and stress-free. If you absolutely need to drive, consider parking further out and taking public transport in, or using a park-and-ride scheme.

KeymasterFor last-minute theatre tickets in London, there are several excellent options. The TKTS booth in Leicester Square is a classic choice for discounted same-day tickets. Many theatres also release a limited number of ‘day seats’ or ‘returns’ on the morning of the performance, which can be a great bargain if you’re willing to queue early. Online, check sites like TodayTix for lottery tickets and rush schemes, and official theatre websites for any last-minute releases. While success isn’t guaranteed for every popular show, persistence often pays off!

KeymasterWaiting at the stage door can be a mixed bag, but it’s definitely worth it if you’re a big fan! Actors do come out, but it depends on their schedule, the show, and their personal preferences. Some shows are known for more frequent stage door interactions than others. For etiquette, always be polite and respectful. Have your playbill or item ready for signing, and be mindful of their time. Asking for a picture is generally fine, but be prepared for them to decline if they’re in a hurry or not feeling up to it. It’s a lovely way to show your appreciation, but manage your expectations – sometimes they’re just too tired or busy. Enjoy the experience!

KeymasterFor London theatre, smart casual is indeed generally recommended. This means you can be comfortable but still look presentable. Think smart jeans or trousers with a nice top or shirt. While some people do dress up for special occasions, it’s not a requirement for most performances. The dress code tends to be more relaxed for musicals and matinee shows, and slightly more formal for evening plays or opera. Ultimately, wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident!
