You can’t miss watch musicals, when you travelling in London.

As a visitor in London, there are lots of things we can’t miss definitely, watch musical is one of those things. There are more than 100 theatres in London and some theatres are specially for performing musicals. Each theatre always full of people when the musical is being performed. It is really hard to say which musical is the most worth to watch it. But i will personally suggest three musicals which i think the most worth to see.

The first one is Sing in the rain , Address: Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W1D 5AY

Sing in the Rain is one my favourite movies, that the reason why the musical i think is the best for me. But also the setting of the theatre is the other reason for me love with this musical. The stage is not very big, so when all of the performers singing and dancing together, the scene looks amazing and makes audience want to dance with them together. Especially when you sit just in front of the stage, you will have a lot of good laughs and will feel crazy with all that water splashing around. So you clothes will getting wet, but why we need to care about that? Come on, let’s just enjoy the show.

The second one is The Lion King, Address: Lyceum Theatre, 21 Wellington Street, City of London, WC2E 7RQ

The Lion King musical based on the Disney animated film of the same name. I strongly suggest people with their family to watch this musical. There are couples of scenes show the love between father and his son, the scenes with the stage setting really expressed me. When i watch the show, at the same time, it makes me think about my life and my family. Every element of this musical is just perfect to match them together. And there is a little supprise at the opening scene, i believe you will enjoy it.

The third one isWicked, Address: Apollo Victoria Theatre, 17 Wilton Road, London, SW1V 1LL

I think Wicked is the one suitable for everyone to watch it. You can go with your friends, family or even you can go alone. The performers include different age groups, there excellent performance make the show like a fairy tale. That is not about the content of the story, but its because of the atmosphere. When i watch this musical, i feel i was the one with them on the stage and experience their life. The main light of the whole performance is green, the effect of the show will more visualised. Just please try  to buy the tickets near the stage, otherwise please bring a small telescope, because this theatre is really big.

We are not allowed to take pictures during the show, so you can buy a brochure after watching the musical. It includes more information in detail or you can just buy them for collecting as me.

You will never feel lonely in London during Christmas holiday, because there are lots of things you can do. Not only about shopping, eating or visit some famous places, sometimes you can also choose the other way to celebrate Christmas holiday and even do not need to spend money on that, that is take a rest and enjoy the Christmas window display in London.

Actually decorate window display during Christmas holiday is a tradition in London. Most shops will make the window looks attractive for consumers. Some window display be decorated by colours, it used with similar colours to make the window looks beautiful. But most shops will choose use story to make window display more meaningful. It makes the entire window display looks like a fairy tale.

Those shops always cooperate with other brands and make the unique theme for their window display. Such as, in this year, Harrods cooperate with Disney company, and use the image of Disney princess to decorate the window display. It is a good chance for company to cooperate with each other, it make both of them can get the benefits and the same time, they can satisfy with consumers as well. Therefore, it much more easier for both companies to achieve their goal.

No matter what the company want, at least, consumers can enjoy those fabulous display and get what they want, that is the most important thing. So everyone can just bring your own camera and take pictures for those window display, it will be a very nice experience.

So do not need to worry about your Christmas will be bored, or will be spend too much money. Just bring your camera to take pictures for all window display in London. If you even do not have a camera, then just come to London with nothing, walk on the street and see those window displays with your eyes. I believe your Christmas won’t be boring and lonely.

In this year, London Southbank Christmas market brings the real German Christmas style to Southbank Centre’s Winter Festival from 16thNovember to 24th December 2012, the market return to Queen’s Walk along the Thames River (Between London eye and Waterloo Bridge).

In this German style Christmas market, it offers Christmas decorations, sweets, hand made soaps, the warm German Mulled Wine and traditional food from over the world. It create a warm atmosphere for gathering with family and friends. It also make tourists feel excited about the market, because they can not just take some amazing pictures and at the same time, they can eat lots of traditional food from different country at one night.

It could be a wonderful time for parents to take a rest, because i believe children will attracted by cute decorations and delicious food. So parents do not need to worry about children will feel bored, the only thing parents need to do is just follow with their children and enjoy the moment.

Southbank Christmas market still provide a chance for people to know different culture from different countries. When you taste different food, it actually makes people know the traditions of that country, because food is one kind of aspects to present own country’s unique culture.

I think that is one of the reasons why Christmas market exists. Obviously Christmas market is not just to bring the happiness feeling to people, and offers lots of interesting stuff to share. Even though celebrate Christmas holiday and make people feel fun is a very important reason for running Christmas Market, it still makes a chance to promote different countries culture, and especially make tourists know more about other countries.

Then let’s just take this chance, and meet with family, friends or colleagues at London Southbank. What should we do? Of course, we just need to enjoy a beautiful Christmas Market at this unique location or to experience this fantastic culture promotion.
