About the itinerary:
Experience what London might have been like for War Horse’s lead character, Albert, with our Star for a Day package as recommended by James Backway.
Spend the afternoon visiting the horses at Hyde Park Stables, before heading off to the Household Cavalry Museum, full of information on the role of horses in the British Military.
Pause for thought at The Cenotaph, before getting a bite to eat at the Golden Hind, one of London’s longest running fish ‘n’ chips shops, opened at the outbreak of WW1 in 1914.
Now that you’re nicely in character, head to The New London theatre for a truly unforgettable performance of War Horse.
Revel in the magic of the show afterward with post theatre drinks at “Proud” in Camden – a-onetime-stables-now-converted-bar.
Finish the night off in the comfort of one of Hotel Direct’s rated hotels, either in Camden, or in Covent Garden should you wish to skip the drinks.
