TASK 8 - WHAT'S ON?

FIND OUT WHAT MAKES LONDON COOL!

IF YOU COME TO LONDON, YOU MUST SPEND ONE NIGHT AT THE THEATRE!





London is home to the best and brightest shows around the world and no visit to London is complete without experiencing the drama, excitement and colour of a West End musical. There are 51 theatres and evey year 11 million people watch a play or a show. The most popular shows in London are musicals such as Grease, The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Mama Mia, We Will Rock You....

Londoners also take their clubbing, DJ-ing and live gigs very seriously. Drum'n'Bass, House, Techno, Jazz, Indie, Reggae, Dub, Ragga... You name it and London's got it.








Arrange a night out or plan a football match!

What is London's favourite sport? Football, of course! People go mad over it! There are twenty-three football teams in London. The biggest and most popular are Chelsea, Arsenal, Totthenham Hotspur, West Ham and Charlton.
Going to a football match can be great fun on a Saturday afternoon. Tickets to those matches may be hard to come by: mid-week games are easier to get into.

Wimbledon Championships marks the beginning of summer. Tickets are sold via public ballot. A small proportion of tickets are also available to those who queue on the day.



The annual Oxford versus Cambridge
boat race is also a sporting institution.
