As part of the Get Into London Theatre promotion they were running a free (shortened) version of what is normally a paying walking tour through the theatre district of the West End. Led by a Blue Badge guide (theatre expert Diane Burstein) I was expecting something pretty good and although I knew that we weren’t going to be backstage anywhere I still thought we’d at least hear some juicy gossip.

The walk, in all honesty, wasn’t the most thrilling of walks however we did hear some history of some pretty important monuments, such as the Charlie Chaplin statue, and theatres, such as the Coliseum and Theatre Royal Drury Lane, where I’m going to see Oliver! in a few days time.

At least the day was a lovely day for a stroll.

I’m sure that all the information we heard today is available somewhere but hearing it in person makes it so much more compelling. Actually the most interesting part of the walk was watching the sign-interpreter do his magic for the deaf people on our tour. He was amazing!
