We decided to go to town today for another look around. We had a sleep in this morning. It’s good to sleep in a bed in a real house.
We started at the Genevieve, down the road, for a pub lunch. That was great! (Chicken & Ham Pie with veggies).
The train to Victoria took 20 minutes, before jumping on the tube to Leicester Square. Tonight, we are going to a show, so we head to the Half Price Tickets booth to see what we can get into. Our best option is Grease for only £9.50 so we take it.
We now have no idea as to what to do next. We eventually decided to head to Trafalgar Square to the National Galleries, when we were stopped by someone doing a survey. She offered us £15 each and free tickets to Madame Tussaud’s for 45 minutes of work. As if we could say no! Madame Tussaud’s Rock Circus is being completely refurbished, and the survey wanted our opinions on the concept they had come up with. We gave a fair bit of input, which the marketing person liked, as she didn't really like the proposed concept.
Afterwards we went to spend our new found fortune at a little cafe just off Charing Cross Road for dinner.
From there we found where the theatre was, so we wouldn’t be late. There was a pub next door, so we stopped in for a pre-show drink. Grease started to 7.30 pm and was an absolute blast. As with other musicals we have seen, Grease was fantastic – and it was very true to the movie, except for a slightly different ending.
The show finished at 10 pm and it took us until close to midnight to get back to Streatham Hill, where everyone had already gone to bed.
