The 27th Annual Mirvish London Theatre Trip
January 31 - February 7, 2027
When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford. - Samuel Johnson
There’s no other city in the English-speaking world with a theatre scene as vibrant, diverse and exciting. But London also offers superb attractions, architecture, restaurants, shops and a rich history.
We’ve been organizing these theatre trips since February 2000. We always visit during the winter because London’s cultural scene is in full bloom. And winter in London isn’t the same as it is in Canada; thanks to the warm trade winds, by February even the early spring flowers are in bloom.
We see four shows as a group. They are always chosen from what’s new and noteworthy. But not all London theatres have announced their 2027 schedules yet. The shows will be announced as they are booked.
Our seats are always in the stalls (the orchestra level in North American lingua franca), and most theatres are within walking distance of our hotel; even the National Theatre on the Southbank is only a 15-minute stroll away.
Speaking of the hotel, we stay at the Clermont Charing Cross, which has the most convenient location in London’s West End. Many of London’s best and most famous cultural attractions are virtually at our doorstep – including the National Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery, the Courtauld Gallery and the British Museum.
One of the great railroad hotels from the Victorian era, the Charing Cross Hotel was designed by the great British architect Edward Midddleton Barry, who also designed the Royal Opera House, and opened in 1865. It is beside both the Charing Cross Train Station and the Underground station.
An important and defining feature of our trip is the inclusion of theatre critic Lynn Slotkin. She’s with us at all shows, and the morning after each she leads a discussion of the show we saw the night before. The sessions are always lively and lots of fun. You are encouraged to add your voice or just listen – whatever works for you.
While this is a group tour, it never feels like one. We do attend four shows together, but the rest of your time is yours to do as you please.
The London Theatre Trip Includes:
- seven nights in a Classic Room* at the Clermont Charing Cross Hotel
- buffet breakfast each morning at the hotel
- one ticket in the stalls to each of four shows
- group dinner on our first night in London
- discussions about each show the morning after we see them, led by critic Lynn Slotkin
