London Theatre Break

Just had a quote of £805 for 1 night and 1 show for 5 people! (Asked for a family room for 5)

Where is the best place to look for this sort of visit , is it best to book separately hotel and tickets or get as a package?

It's giving me palpitations just looking!
Thanks in advance
Getting there...slowly! :D

GC : must do better
NSD: very rare

No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

    805 seems a bit steep..

    It could well be because you're looking for a room for 5, which not many places would have. If the children are old enough, 2 rooms might be cheaper. Express by Holiday Inn and Travelodge both do family rooms, but they only sleep 4. An apartment might also be an option.
    There are lots of sites around where you can search for hotel rooms.
