It's a thriller play with 2 actors...it's really spine-tingling and we left with goosebumps!! It was great!! You can't go wrong with English theatre!

This play scared the CRAP out of me when I saw it! But it is a great play if you're into suspense
The Half-Price Ticket Booth (which is what I think many have been referring to) is located in Leicester Square, which also has a number of restaurants around there (plus movie theaters, including the one where they hold the London premieres for movies). I highly recommend using the Half Price Ticket Booth - it was a student's favorite friend when going to London!
Now, I can't really recommend any hotels (as I was in college and studying for a semester in Cambridge when I was there), but one of the hostels that we stayed in was REALLY nice...I can't remember the name of it right now, but it was located in one of the parks, and within a short walk of a couple of tube stations (one had the yellow/green lines, the other had the - I think - red line)
The Big Bus tour is excellent - it's a hop on/hop off tour with three lines (red, blue, and green) that take you all around London and includes a boat ride on the Thames. I used the bus tour a few times when I'd go into London for a weekend to get pictures of all the great sites!
I don't know if the History museum and Churchill's War Room are the same place, but I definitely recommend the War Room - I went and saw it the first weekend I was there with a number of the other students in my group, and we all enjoyed it!
Man, I wish I was going back to London!!!
