What to do and see in East End / East London, England: The Best Concerts & Shows

September 7, 2021 Vivienne Hutton

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Have you been to a pantomime so far? One of the best pantos in London is on at the Hackney Empire. It is a very special theater. It was built in 1901 by the renowned architect Frank Matcham as a music hall. The building is beautifully preserved and adds magic to the show on stage.

Intimate little place, but safely accommodating in the region of 200 people in a room the size of a large pub for a comedy night featuring Abandoman and Joe Wilkinson amongst others. Security were helpful and friendly, the bar staff were exceptionally quick despite being busy. We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere which was built by having just the right size audience present for the venue, and had an excellent night.
