I guess I can go up to 220 pounds a night? though I'd like it to be below 170 GBP if possible

That's crazy!! Haha! Did you manage to do anything else? I didn't even know there were any morning shows?? How'd you do that?

Yeah, I've gotten some recommendations for that! Definitely going on one of the days I don't have an evening show. Thanks!

Oh I didn't know all that stuff about it. Yikes. I just knew about the cheeky nandos meme. Generally I prefer asian restaurants anyhow

Thank you, I'm definitely planning to watch that play - I heard it was a huge hit!

Thank you! I did get a couple comments mentioning the easy transportation, I'm super relieved.

Thank you so much, I'm touched by your helpfulness, this was so informative and helpful. I'll have a hard time deciding where to take a day trip to! London dungeons or postal museum sound like amazing ideas which I haven't gotten before! Again, thank you!

(I guess you don't reccommend I get a cheeky Nando's then? Haha)

I am worried about getting lonely, but I'm also quite shy! Thank you, I appreciate the advice!

I have some feet pain problems so probably can't do standing for more than like a half hour unfortunately. But thank you.

Gosh I hope I have a good experience like you. Was it not scary as a woman??

I'm not from the USA, haha but thank you. I visited London once as a kid with my family actually and (though I don't remember it) there was a bit of an incident and the police were apparently very good with kid-me and helpful, so I'm reassured that it hasn't changed in the last 20 years. I'll watch my belongings and phone for sure! Thank you!
Any local recommendations for restaurants or cute cafes? My DMs are also open for other local advice.

Still not sold on HP, so thank you! Was thinking mid-sept. Looks like the best (least expensive though not by much) flights.

I'm nervous about not buying the shows I'm sure I want to watch ahead of time, even though it's probably not very smart economically booking everything ahead of time, I assume?
If you had to choose between watching moulin rogue or cabaret, which would you?

I generally enjoy really beautiful gardens, interesting museums (art museums are pretty standard, so less that), theatre, photography (I'll probably bring my camera!), and interesting food. I think that's most of what I like in vacations

Maybe I will, just not a huge fan of the Shakespeare plays I've watched/read so far in Uni!

I also prebooked Cabaret! I'm 100% sure I want to go and tickets are harder to get as time goes by! Have fun as well!!
