Help with the present for my dad's 50th

Hi everyone, It's my dad's 50th at the end June. He doesn't want a party or a big do so I've come up with the idea of taking him to London for the weekend, seeing a show and going for a meal.

So far I've found tickets to "Billy Elliot Musical" (I don't know if this is any good?) It is at the Victoria Palace Theatre

I would like to take him to one of Gordon Ramseys restruants but as I am from Manchester I don't know which one would be the closest to the theatre? Could anyone help with this.

I'm open to other idea's about restraunts or theatre tickets.

Many thanks

Steph xx

    Hi Steph, I'll have a quick look for you tomorrow while off work. There's a link on google pages for maps. Click on maps, then put in your theatre, then choose find nearby. In this, type restaurants, & next to each result on left side of page that it displays, will be the approximate distance from your chosen theatre. I'm at work ATM so will be more helpful tomorrow. Try what I explained here & see how you get on
