London's West End is the world's other great theatre district alongside Broadway, with over 40 major theatres concentrated around Shaftesbury Avenue, Covent Garden, and the Strand. Shows run year-round with fewer dark nights than Broadway. The surrounding streets of Soho, Covent Garden, and Chinatown offer exceptional pre-theatre dining, and Leicester Square's TKTS booth offers last-minute ticket deals on selected shows.
Leicester Square's official half-price ticket booth offers same-day deals on selected West End shows. Queue forms early.
