The trocadero is in soho, in coventry street, I have been here twice. Once when it was the sega centre many moons ago and more recently and it was not worth the effort on both occasions. The trocadero is a mish mash of shops and amusement arcades that is over priced and over rated. The most eye catching and memorable thing about it would be the massive escalators , which are hair raisingly scary and not for the faint hearted. Well it is on five floors. It is too pricey and not value for money and I would not go again when there are better places to go and spend quality time with the family, a definate no go for me.The trocadero is in soho, in coventry street, I have been here twice.

The queens theatre is on shaftsbury avenue and is easy to find, with its prominent bill board style poster adorning the front of it. The show is a tear jerker to say the least, but it is amazing, so well acted and performed, so beautiful from start to finish, that you are transported to another time and place. It is a very long show though so bear in mind that you will get thirsty and hot, so take a drink, also the ques for the toilets was ridiculous and we almost missed the start of the 2nd half because of this, so plan ahead! It is wonderful and a must see, thats probably why it has been running for so long and long may it continue.The queens theatre is on shaftsbury avenue and is easy to find, with its prominent bill board style poster adorning the front of it.

The staff at Curzon Soho are brilliant. Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - and importantly for me, unlike most cinemas - they smile. A lot! There is a good range of films shown here and the concessions stand offers popcorn, alcohol and beverages that are very reasonably priced. There is also a bar and coffee bar in the building, offering different food, drink and cake options. This is a cinema you can come to as part of a whole evening, you don't feel like you've got to watch your step on sticky floors or that you are being ripped off. The membership options offer good value for money if you are going to come more than 4 times in a year - and actually, you might because the atmosphere here is so friendly and welcoming. I went tonight - and there was even a quiz, adding to a real 'community' feel! In the centre of London and next to Leicester Square's massive multiplexes, this is a treasure.The staff at Curzon Soho are brilliant.

This is my favorite bar in London. There is a friendly waitress service, and a great theatre to boot! In the middle of Soho, they are general busy, but never totally packed - I've always managed to get a table -pretty much straight away! The prices are reasonable and there is a good list of cocktails to try. There is also a full and varied wine list, which is not badly priced. The selection of beers and spirits are good. Iâ¬"ve never eaten in the Soho Theatre, but Iâ¬"ve been told that the food is good too! Nothing about this place disappoints.

After the refurbishment a few years ago this place has moved on leaps and bounds and has really good productions such has mama-mia. I found mama-mia just hilarious and the venue lends its self very well to these kinds of productions with its central location right in the middle of Leister square is great for coming in on the tube. If you want I cheap ticket here I would really advise searching the internet for cheap advance tickets. I really enjoyed both the production and the venue and it was easy to get to from the venue and there is plenty of stuff to do before your show if you arrive early.After the refurbishment a few years ago this place has moved on leaps and bounds and has really good productions such has mama-mia.
