London
geeeemo:
I am fortunate enough to be able to travel to London to see the show in Feb. I am super excited about going to London, but I have no idea about where should we stay and how to manage anything. Is is similar to a concert experience in the states? Is public transportation good? (although I would love to try my hand at driving on the other side :biggrin:) Any other must sees while we are there?
Thanks!

I traveled to London on holiday some time ago (2012), and while I didn't attend any concerts there, I can tell you that public transportation is extremely good there (although it's expensive, but that's London for you I'm afraid). Great sights to see too (British Museum is actually free to visit btw)
geeeemo:
thanks!
Max Kuehnau:
Forgot to mention: In case you're into art, you'll have fun in both Tate galleries (Tate and Tate Modern), and don't forget to take that famous crosswalk too :D

I would really recommend that you DO NOT drive in London. Do not even think about driving in London. Not only is the traffic a nightmare, it's all but impossible to get around, even with a satnav, as many junctions are impossible unless you know exactly what you're doing. The Underground is very good, and there are stations just about everywhere, especially in the centre of the city, so you shouldn't need to drive anywhere.
There is so much to do in London I wouldn't know where to start advising you. See the sights, visit the museums and galleries, however long you're staying for it won't be enough to see a fraction of it.
Hotels are really expensive, mind. If you're on a budget, consider a "pod" type hotel - there's a few of them springing up around the city. Budget hotels tend to be further out, and quite some distance from the city centre.
As for the concert - Hammersmith Apollo is a nice theatre, but it's on a main road, and there's no car parking or anything at the venue itself. The underground station is across the street, so it's easy to get to. See you there!
