Absolutely loved watching "Stranger Things" at the Phoenix Theatre in London! From start to finish, the experience was electrifying. The light effects were truly remarkable, immersing the audience in the eerie atmosphere of the Upside Down. Every flash and glow perfectly complemented the storyline, adding an extra layer of intensity to the performance. The seat comfort was another highlight; the plush seating allowed us to relax and enjoy the show without any discomfort. The theatre itself had a charming ambiance, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The acoustics were impressive, ensuring that every line of dialogue resonated clearly throughout the venue. The cast delivered stellar performances, bringing the beloved characters to life with authenticity. Their energy was infectious, drawing the audience into the narrative. Overall, I highly recommend catching this fantastic adaptation—it's a wonderful blend of nostalgia, talent, and innovative stagecraft that you won’t want to miss!

The directions were clear for getting to the bus, and then the directions for catching it back and the times were also accurate. In addition to the communication and assistance provided. I would recommend it to my friends without hesitation.

Our ride on the London Eye was such a highlight of our trip! The views over London are absolutely incredible — seeing Big Ben, the Thames, and the city skyline from above gives you a whole new appreciation for how beautiful this city really is. The ride itself is smooth, spacious, and gives you plenty of time to soak it all in and snap photos without feeling rushed. One thing that would make the experience even more amazing? An optional audio feature inside the pod. Imagine being able to press a button and hear a quick 30–40 second fun fact about what you’re looking at — maybe one when you’re on the far right side of the wheel, one at the very top, and one on the far left. Just short, engaging tidbits that point out landmarks and share a cool story or bit of history. It would be such a fun way to learn while you look, and might even inspire visitors to explore more of the city afterward. Overall, such a memorable experience and 100% worth doing when you’re in London!

I had a good experience using the Stansted Express. The journey was smooth, comfortable, and very convenient for travelling between central London and the airport. There was a short halt due to a signal delay, but the driver kept passengers informed and apologised for the delay, which was appreciated. Overall, the service felt straightforward, reliable, and stress-free, and I would happily use it again.

It was a really cool feeling to be in the Tower Bridge. The view up there is breathtaking. The photos I took from being up in the tower was beautiful. I felt like I could really take London in . It was really amazing (a bit nerve wracking too) to walk across the glass floor and that for me that was the highlight. Seeing London from that height was such a unique experience. Definitely worth visiting
