London has no shortage of high quality restaurants, bars or places to go, but there are always new quirky offerings coming to the table that you don’t want to miss. Here are just a few of the places that you should visit this year:
THE MURDER EXPRESS
Go back to the early 20th century, when travelling by train for pleasure was still in style. Located in Pedley Street Station, you will sit down to a sensational immersive dining experience and a menu composed by two MasterChef finalists, as they follow a tale set in the golden age of rail travel. The ‘The Murder Express’ is perfect for you and your loved ones.
RESTAURANT OURS

Decorated with huge trees and high ceilings, this upscale bar and restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious dinner and take in all the scenery.
MUSICAL SHOWS
Musical theatre will always remain a hot topic in London, but these two shows are seriously worth the watch:
9 TO 5 MUSICAL From the 28th January 2019 in the Savoy Theatre, the 9 to 5 musical will be telling the story of Doralee, Violet and Judy – three workmates pushed to the boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss. Brought to you by Dolly Patron herself, this hilarious West End production is a show you cannot miss this year!
TINA Another fantastic show to put on your watch list is Tina Turner the Musical. Due to such popular demand, they have extended their ticket sales to July 2019 and to make things even more exciting, Tina’s live shows have been seen by millions, with more concert tickets sold than any other solo performer in music history. So don’t leave it too late to hear some of her much loved songs, as you watch the untold story of a woman who dared to defy the bounds of her age, gender and race.
