what to do in london at night

hi am travelling to london in september and staying overnight the 7th and 8th. We will probably go to a show one night but looking for suggestions what to do the second night, would like to do something a bit different but not too expensive.

have seen a medieval banquet mentioned on another site, anybody been? or thought about going to watch a show being filmed for tv but have no idea what would be on.

its me and my friend who are going and it is the first time for both of us in london (we are 24 and 20 if that any help)

also any recommendations for during the day, we planning on doing the duck tour, madame tussauds and the london eye and probably go to harrods etc but is there anything we should def go see?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions :T

    Just have a wander about the Soho/Leicester Square/Covent Garden area.It's quite safe and there are loads of trendy bars to stop off and have a drink.The shops are open till late.
    Go for a meal in Chinatown.
    Avoid anything too touristy.

    Went to see the Musical 'Mamma Mia' in London, last weekend. Although I wasnt looking forward to it, I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Everyone was dancing in the aisles at the end. It was excellent value for money. Just opposite the theatre is the Comedy Club if you feel like having a bit of a laugh afterwards.

    How about the London Eye ? Be especially nice early evening, then off to the theatre using lastminute.com dinner and show for under £20 each.

    If you want to see a TV show been filmed try https://www.bbc.co.uk then put tickets in the search box also https://www.applausestore.com and https://www.tvrecordings.com. There are others too-a google search will find them.
