TKTS
One of the best kept secrets in London apparently. The TKTS booth sits in the middle of Leicester Square and is the official ticket reseller for all of London's West End shows. Left over seats are passed to TKTS a few days before each show and sold at a phenomenal discount - sometimes more than half price!Read more

"In the 1840s, the painfully shy Duke of Portland erected eighty feet high screens of frosted glass around Harcourt House so people could not see what he was up to. He was so shy that he would had a complicated system of bells installed in his house, so he could warn any occupants of rooms he was moving into of his arrival, and they would be compelled to vacate!"
The restaurants along Charlotte Street are a great place to sit in the sunshine, watching the world go by...
