    I doubt there are discounts for the Tower but the safest place for theatre is the TKTS booth in Leicester Sq http://www.tkts.co.uk/

    If you are travelling by train you can use the 2 for 1 offer with printed vouchers on here.

    We have used it a few times.

    Another recommendation for the TKTS booth - always use them.

    Thank you for the TKTS booth.
    We will be stopping at the Premier Inn Stratford and getting the tube into London, is this a station that I can buy travel pass that allows you to get 241 offers?

    Quick question - 2for1, can that be for an adult and a child? There would be only me and three kids so could I use the 2for1 and get a child in for free?

    Thanks

    You can exchange £5 of tesco vouchers for £20 off Tower charges via Tesco Rewards.

    For theatre tickets it is always worth a look at:

    for tickets for £15 or less.

    I have used this many times and never been disappointed and usually had very good seat.

    Stratford is both a train and tube station so a daily travelcard bought from there should have the BR logo on it that makes it eligible for the 2for 1 rail travel vocuhers. We have used the 2for 1 offer voucher for an adult and child before with no problems.

    In regard to Theatre tickets I have usually found the best deals are available on the day from the theatre box office itself, but you have to get there before opening time ( box officeusually 10am). I recently got great front row seats for Once the Musical for £25 each by arriving at the box office at 9.50am. Wicked reserve the front row and only sell on the day at the box office.

    Agree with this, we went to see Warhorse recently by going into the box office in Drury Lane at 10am on the day - they save the side front row seats for sale on the day for £25 (a good tip if you're staying in the Covent Garden Travelodge, which is only around 100 yards from the theatre).
