Hi,
I am first time poster so please be gentle 😜
I am looking at arranging a trip to London in early 2015 (perfectly in February). This is a present for Christmas for my partner as she loved a good show.
Ok so I'm looking at doing a 2 night stay with one of the nights at a show. She would prefer wicked or Book of Mormon. The price isn't the main consideration other than not wanting to get ripped off, but more 3 or 4 start budget as opposed to 5 star. I have viewed many of the package comparison sites and not sure they offer great value for money. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and any help would be appreciated.

In December Get into London Theatre do an annual sale which usually includes seats In January and February. I have got half priced top seats to see Wicked in February before. You have to keep an eye on the site and book quickly once the sale is live.

In regard to traonsport to London the cheapest train fares are rolled out about 12 weeks before travel so keep an eye out for that. Also sites like www.megabus.com do cheap coach seats from £1 from amny parts of the country if you keep an eye out nearer the time.
For hotels have a look at the budget hotels such as Travelodge and Premier Inn and Holiday Inn, book if you see a good rate. If you can avoid a Saturday night stay you will pay less as this is always the most expensive night. Just had a quick look and For example Thursday 5 and Friday 6 Feb Conty Hall Premier Inn is £89 and £69 per night for a double room.0 -
^^ Although Friday nights can be surprisingly cheap for hotels - business people who stay up all week have gone home for the weekend, and the weekend Saturday crowd not arrived yet.0

Superbreak do some hotel deals and usually have a good cashback deal on Quidco/Topcashback (currently 9% on Quidco). Try the Tavistock hotel - usually under £100 per night including breakfast and for a two night stay they often provide one dinner as well. It's quite central - walking distance to Euston & Kings Cross. Bus goes straight down to Trafalgar Square or you can tube from Russell Square, Euston or Euston Square.
If you are travelling around a lot in London it may be worth pre-ordering an Oyster Card each - it's guaranteed not to cost any more per day than a one day travelcard but individual journeys are cheaper than you would pay at the ticket machine. Also it just makes life easier.0 -
FWIW Superbreaks have a relationship with CamMack, so probably have good deals on their shows.0
