London theatre for children

London has some of the best puppet shows and interactive family friendly performances in the world – check out Little Angel Theatre, Unicorn Theatre and Jackson’s Lane for an unforgettable introduction to theatre. Also keep an eye on those lovely folks at Tall Stories – they do a whole range of kids musicals based on your favourite Julia Donaldson books including The Gruffalo stage show.

Once the kids are a little older, taking in one of London’s West End shows is a must – our favourites by a mile are Wicked, The Lion King and Matilda the Musical, and our 6 year old is a massive fan of Horrible Histories. Next on our “dying to see” list is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
