Here are five of the most diverse shows the city has to offer:

1. Avenue Q:

Avenue Q is a sensational adult comedy starring both humans and puppets. A hilarious and satirical exploration of life, this musical is not for the easily offended. Awash with adult humor that pushes the boundaries, audiences should expect a whole lot of controversy, and it's great for anyone with a dark sense of humour. So, if you fancy a London theatre break, why not head on down to the big city to see the rudest and most politically incorrect puppets in the West End.

2. War Horse:

London theatre breaks are a great opportunity to enjoy the magic of the West End and what better way to add an extra sparkle than to see an award-winning production. War Horse is a theatrical marvel thanks to its use of astonishing life-sized puppets that are incredibly realistic and a joy to watch on stage. The main character is a horse and plenty of high-tech and innovative theatre methods have been used to create astonishing effects. A spectacular show, War Horse has significantly modified West End theatre and is definitely worth a trip to London.

3. The Railway Children:

The Railway Children is staged in the old Eurostar terminal at Waterloo Station and is an enchanting and atmospheric show. A stage adaptation of E Nesbit's classic tale, The Railway Children is a fabulously unique London show which an extra dash of realism thanks to its fabulous setting. The audience sit on both sides of the track with the action taking place all around and the appearance of a working steam train is the highlight of the show.

4. Woman In Black:

A spectacular London show, Woman In Black is chilling to the core and is a truly horrifying ghost story.
