On Monday 17th May, we’ll enjoy a brilliant evening. We’ll be going to Picadilly’s Theatre and watch GREASE, the musical. If you do not know the story, we strongly advice you to watch the film by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John or read a synopsis on the internet.
have a look on the wikipedia information or on the official webpage
Punk, gothic, trendy… every kind of urban fashion can be found in Camden Market, visit the food stalls, the channel, cybershops … enjoy shopping in a really LONDON style.
A castle by the river Thames, a prison, a museum, a treasure… behind the walls of the Tower of London there are many secrets to be found out… A Beefeater will tell us about kings and queens, jewels, ravens and ghosts…

Very near from Trafalgar Square and Big Ben, there is The Silvler Cross, a typical British pub where we will have our evening meals. We will enjoy the experience of eating at a nice and comfortable place and taste some of the “real” English food. Have a nice meal!!!!!
During our stay in London we will sleep in a small hostel near Victoria Station called The Grapevine Hotel.
It is not a luxurious hotel but it is comfortable for four nights. The rooms have no toilet inside as the bathrooms are shared. In the morning we have continental breakfast included.
Some practical advice will be given along the year, but you have to bring a towel and shower shoes, not a lot of clothes, comfortable shoes to walk and shirts or jumpers that you can wear and take off depending on the moment, as the weather can be cold, then hot, then warm and rainy and different along the day.
Electric gadgets are not a very good idea, as in Great Britain, plugs have three holes. If you really need it, you can buy an adaptor, but I do not think it is so necessary. At the hotel they have hairdryers.
