Welcome
Welcome to London Planner, bringing you indispensable tips about the best
the capital has to offer this March.
Heralding the approach of spring, Trafalgar Square will be transformed for the
Maslenitsa Festival on 16 March. This traditional Russian celebration includes
terric music and dance from Russia and the UK, childrens theatre, a traditional
bazaar with Russian art, handicrafts and souvenirs, and much else besides.
Another of the years highlights is the St. Patricks Day celebrations, which take
place the following day, 17 March. With crowds lining the streets for the colourful
parade to Trafalgar Square, music, a farmers market, Irish sports and more, its
always a lively affair and not to be missed ( london.gov.uk/events).
There are lots of museum openings this month, but if youre a David Bowie fan, the stand-out show has to be
David Bowie Is, the retrospective at the Victoria And Albert Museum (p. 59). Its the most comprehensive look
at one of the icons of pop music and is set to be one of the V&As most popular exhibitions. For those
interested in Londons gory history, head to County Hall by the London Eye its the new home of the London
Dungeon from this month (p. 30).
Weve also plenty of other new openings in theatre, dance and music, so dont forget to look out for the Tkts
booth in Leicester Square for discounted seats (p. 18).

HMS BELFAST
Aboard HMS Belfast (p. 30) visitors
get to experience life on the battleship
as it would have been for the 950
crew during and after the Second
World War. There are nine decks to
explore from the lofty Admirals
Bridge right down to the deepest
depths of the Engine Room.
On the way a range of sights,
sounds and smells take visitors
back in time, from the aroma of
detergent in the Laundry Room and
chirpy 1940s music wafting from
the Canteen, to models of patients
recovering in the Sick Bays bunk
beds. You can easily imagine what it
would be like to eat and sleep in the
cramped Mess Deck, or suffer the
isolation and claustrophobia of being
shut away in a Punishment Cell.
Dont miss the immersive Gun
MAGNIFICENT
MILITARY
ACTIVITIES
On 17 March former warship
HMS Belfast celebrates
the 75th anniversary of its
1938 launch. An exciting

heritage. By David G. Taylor

as details of exciting 75th anniversary

LONDON DUCK TOURS
Climb aboard the D-Day Duck
(3 Mar) for a family-friendly tour
around Londons most important
Second World War sights by road
and river. See St. Pauls Cathedral,
Cabinet War Rooms and Buckingham
Palace, as key events of the Blitz
are brought to life with a fascinating
and informative guided commentary.
The tour takes place on an
amphibious six-wheel-drive DUKW
vehicle, which was one of those
used during the D-Day landings on
Normandy beach in 1944.
Sightseers get to experience the
DUKW both on land and on the
water with a thrilling splashdown
into the River Thames. The D-Day
Duck Tours take place on the rst
Sunday of each month, while the rest
of the time you can enjoy the Classic
Sightseeing Tour and more (p. 30).
HOUSEHOLD CAVALRY
MUSEUM
Elaborate ceremonial uniforms,
musical instruments and silverware
by Faberg are among the many
treasures and antiquities on display
at the Household Cavalry Museum
(p. 30). Learn about the Household
Cavalry who have protected Britains
kings and queens for nearly 350
years. Complementing the exhibition
is a working stable block, where
you can see behind-the-scenes
as horses are fed, groomed and
prepared for duty.
WAR HORSE
The stage version of Michael
Morpurgos classic childrens
book War Horse (p. 75) is a rather
heartbreaking tale. It explores the
incredible bond between a young
boy and his horse during the First
World War with life-sized horses
brought to life by the Handspring
Puppet Company. When his four-
legged friend is sold to the cavalry,
the boy tries to nd him by lying
about his real age and enlisting. We
recommend taking some tissues.

FOR THEATRE GOERS
Shop around and you can nd
extraordinary bargains on theatre
tickets. For instance, students and
anyone 25 or younger can pick up
10 tickets for any production at the
Young Vic, such as Above Me The Wide
Blue Sky (7-28 Mar, p. 72). Meanwhile,
the Royal Courts 10 Mondays make
discounted tickets available weekly to
all. Bag them on the day of performance
from 09.00 online, or in-person from the
box ofce after 10.00 (p. 75). Opening
there on 21 Mar is Low Road, a new
fable by playwright Bruce Norris about a
young entrepreneur. Youd be surprised
how many theatres offer money-saving
options, so do check with your preferred venue for special offers and
cheap seats.
Another great option is to keep an eye on the Whats On Sale section
of the Tkts website ( tkts.co.uk), or visit their famous booth in Leicester
Square (map C5) for discounted tickets available on the day
of the performance or up to a week in advance.
Alternatively, you see big stage productions live, but at a fraction of the
normal cost, by catching them on the silver screen. This month, for one
night only, enjoy British writer Alan Bennetts latest play People
(pictured above, 21 Mar). Part of the National Theatre Live season, its a
satire about cash-starved landed gentry living in a crumbling stately home
and is being screened at selected cinemas around the city. Actor Frances
De La Tour (The History Boys) is among the stars. For details visit the
dedicated website ( microsites.nationaltheatre.org.uk). Elsewhere, the
Royal Ballet Company are also getting in on the live big screen action.
This month, the Royal Opera House Live season presents Christopher
Wheeldons The Adventures Of Alice In Wonderland (28 Mar). A dance
spectacular, it follows the exploits of Lewis Carrolls craziest characters
including the White Rabbit, Mad Hatter and the fearsome Queen Of
Hearts. For screening details, visit cinema.roh.org.uk
FOR FOODIES
Takeaway foods are often the
cheapest option. Close to St. Pauls
Cathedral youll nd the Earl Of
Sandwich (above), an emporium
of hot and cold sandwiches, soups,
salads and more. Drop-by for urban
sustenance that wont break the
bank, including yummy breakfasts.
Wok To Walk and Crussh are other
good takeaways. Alternatively, eat-in
on inexpensive Indian cuisine at
Masala Zone restaurants (below).
For these and more great options,
including meals out for less than 20
per person, turn to the Dining section.

LOCAL HISTORY
The earliest recorded
mention of Hoxton is in
the Domesday Book of
1086, where it appears as
Hogesdon (meaning farm).
From open elds, the area
became a wealthy suburb
of the City Of London,
before becoming a dirty,
noisy industrial district
in the Victorian era. As
industry declined after the
Second World War, the area
continued to adapt, attracting
artists looking for cheap
workshops in the 1980s.
This artistic legacy can be
found in Hoxtons many small
galleries and rich tradition of
street art (pictured).
MELODY MAKER
Hoxton is one of the hottest places to go out in
London, particularly if youre into live music. Cocktail
lovers are also well looked after and DJs work their
magic at bars and clubs until the early hours. Many bars
and live music venues also serve good food. 5 Zigfrid
Von Underbelly, which occupies a prime position on
Hoxton Square, hosts regular house, techno and electro
nights and even a Jukebox Disco, where you get to
choose the tunes. Theres also an exciting programme
of live gigs by up-
and-coming and
established bands.
Food is served
until 23.30 and
brunch is available
at the weekend.

MY FAVOURITE PLACE IS STILL THE WINGS EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS I STILL FIND IT EXCITING
The Royal Opera House Live cinema season sees nine productions screened in over 900 cinemas
worldwide, including the ballet Alices Adventures In Wonderland on 28 Mar. Mal Barton, Head Of
Costume Workroom at the venue, talks about the magic that goes on behind the scenes. By Jo Caird
Alices Adventures In Wonderland
is a revival, having been rst
performed in 2010. How will you
go about preparing for the show?
Its a co-production that we share with
the National Ballet of Canada, so its
just done a tour throughout North
America and the costumes will have
been altered for that company. The
costumes come back to us and its
about getting them to t and look as
they should. But also well have some
cast changes so there will be some
new costumes to make. The ballet is
all about movement, so the cut and
t is vital.
What happens after the ttings
are done?
The running teams set the show,
put the costumes in the dressing
rooms, look after the artists, make
sure everything is dry cleaned and
laundered and as it should be, and
manage the dressers, [who help the
artists into and out of their outts
during the show].
Some of ROHs productions are
nearly 40-year-olds how do you
go about recreating them?
We keep very meticulous records
of fabrics and everything else, so
the supervisors work with those
records, oversee the ttings and buy
the fabrics. In the workroom youre
restoring, conserving, repairing and
altering, keeping it looking exactly as
it did when it was rst designed.
It sounds like things must get
pretty busy around here...
We do over 6,000 ttings a season,
purely for revivals. And were putting
on a big opera or ballet every seven to
10 days. The big productions will have
500-600 costumes.
Youve worked at the ROH for
over 30 years and in your current
role for 12 whats your favourite
aspect of the job?
Working with the team and with the
dancers and singers, generally trying
to get them what they want. I think
thats probably the most exciting,
because its the most challenging. Its
not unusual for us to put someone
whos a size 18 into a size 10. My
favourite place is still the wings [the
area at the sides of the stage out of
sight of the audience]. Even after all
these years I still nd it really exciting.
Have you always loved ballet
and opera?
Not before I came here, but Ive
absolutely grown to love it. I have
opera and ballet music at home
that I listen to. Like most art forms,
it takes a bit of work, you cant go
watch and listen and expect it all
to be fabulous it does take a
bit of input from you. You have
to know the story, think about
whats going on and maybe
sometimes familiarise yourself
with the performers and their
own interpretations.
Do you have a favourite show?
Thats very hard. I think for the ballet
my favourite is probably Mayerling: its
a wonderful story and has incredible
choreography. Ive worked on it for
many, many years, so you get quite
attached. And for the opera, its the
old favourites really, so Madame
Butterfly and La Bohme.
Alice In Wonderland will be
screened live in cinemas does
that bring additional challenges?
Costumes for opera or ballet are
designed and made to be looked at
from a minimum of 25 feet away,
whereas the cameras are very
close. I dont wish to brag, but Im
condent that our costumes are
always good enough to be seen by
camera we havent really done
anything different. Also you have to
bear in mind that it is a theatrical
performance, its not a movie, so the
element of theatricality is valid.
Youre based in an enviable
location here at the ROH, right in
the centre of London whats your
top tip for visitors to the capital?
For me its really the galleries and
museums, so take a look, nd out
whats on and make that effort to
get there because youre just spoilt
for choice. At the V&A (p. 59) theres
something for everyone, from fashion
and antiques to pre-history. And, of
course, everyone should come to the
Opera House (p. 77)!

This historic southern city has
captured hearts and minds for
centuries with its gothic architecture
and deep roots to the past. Evocative
and brooding, it inspired poet
Matthew Arnold to describe it as that
sweet city with her dreaming spires
in his 1865 poem Thyrsis. It was also
home to Alice Liddell, the little girl
who inspired Lewis Caroll to write
his classic story Alices Adventures
In Wonderland that same year. Small
wonder then that the Sunday Times
Oxford Literary Festival takes place
here (16-24 Mar. oxfordliterary
festival.org), with big names such as
Hilary Mantel and Alexander McCall
Smith in attendance.
Start your day in Oxford at Christ
Church. Its arguably the most famous
college of the 38 in the city, and not
just because its the largest Christ
Church is the only college in the
world with a cathedral in its grounds.
Founded by the Tudor monarch Henry
VIII in 1546, it has more than a touch
of Harry Potter about it: the college
was the inspiration for Hogwarts
School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry in
the franchise and appears in the lms.
Visit other architectual wonders such
as Radcliffe Camera, an 18th-century
library building featured in Dorothy
L. Sayers 1936 novel Gaudy Night
and 1914s Hertford Bridge, popularly
known as the Bridge Of Sighs.
The Ashmolean Museum is
the University Of Oxfords art and
archeology hotspot, with displays,
collections and talks galore.
For an overall sense of the city,
try the Museum Of Oxford, now
relocated to the galleries of Oxford
Town Hall. Visitors are taken on
a journey to Oxfords fascinating
past, following in the footstops of
characters such as Tamesibugus,
a Roman potter from 150 AD.
The Museum Of The History
Of Science will enthrall budding
Einsteins with its unrivalled collection
of early scientic instruments. An
active department of the university,
the Old Ashmolean is the oldest
purpose-built museum in the world
and dates from 1683. If its nature
youre interested in, the University
Museum Of Natural History delivers
geology, zoology and dinosaur action.
For views of the city, climb the last
remnant of the13th-century
St. Martins Church, known as the
Carfax Tower. For organic pursuits
closer to the ground the Botanic
Garden has it all: with spring in full
swing, the glasshouses, walled garden
and lower garden are the ideal haven
to absorb the sights and smells of
the season, all just a stones throw
away from the bustle of the city. Floral
pursuits on a grand scale come in
the shape of Blenheim Palace in
the historic town of Woodstock, a
short bus ride outside the city. The
300-year-old stately home, with its
beautiful formal gardens, was the
birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

Sightseeing
On your marks, get set...
The Oxford & Cambridge Boat Race dates back to
1829 when two friends, one at the University Of
Oxford and one at the University Of Cambridge,
decided to test which university had the fastest
rowers. Oxford won that rst race, but since then
Cambridge has taken the title 81 times compared
to Oxfords 76 wins. It now takes place each spring
on the River Thames, on a 6.8km stretch between
Putney and Mortlake (pictured above) and is
watched by thousands in person and more on live
television. This years event takes place on 31 Mar
at 16.30, with the womens event running on
24 Mar at 16.30 ( theboatrace.org).
If you like your races a touch sillier but no less
exciting then get down to the Oxford & Cambridge
Goat Race (also on 31 Mar, time to be
conrmed). One of the urban farms goats
is chosen to represent each university and
a race is run with the winner declared
that years champion (pictured, right).
Refreshments also
available. Tickets 5,
child 50p.

Whats hot
Come on you reds!
Arsenal Football Club has been based at Emirates
Stadium since 2006, when the team moved from
its previous longterm home, Arsenal Stadium, a.k.a.
Highbury. Fans of The Gunners, one of the worlds
top soccer teams, can now take a tour of Emirates
Stadium and visit the interactive Arsenal Museum.
There are two tours available: a self-guided tour that
lasts up to 90 minutes, and the 75-minute Legends
Tour, where a former star player shares his thoughts
on the current team and anecdotes about glorious
past playing days as he leads visitors around the
60,000-seat stadium. Match tickets tend to be
snapped up by members well in advance, but
do check the website as they do occasionally
go on general sale.
Arsenal Stadium Tours & Museum, p. 38.
With Jo Caird
On 1 Mar Londons most gruesome attraction reopens in a brand
new location in the vast underground vaults of County Hall on the
South Bank. The London Dungeon (p. 30) escorts visitors through
1,000 years of macabre and terrifying London history, including the
horrors of the plague, the exploits of murderous monarch Henry
VIII and the chilling crimes of notorious Victorian serial killer Jack
The Ripper (pictured). Youll have fun meeting costumed characters,
learning fearsome facts and experiencing the thrills and spills of the
attractions rides, which include a boat ride towards execution along a
turbulent River Thames and a drop ride thatll make you scream.

Chinese Zodiac, but this March is denitely the month
of the tiger in London. Tiger Tracks, which takes place
at t St. Pancras International on 1-21 Mar, is a huge
public participation event created to raise awareness
of the plight of tigers in the wild ( savewildtigers

extinct in Asia in less than a decade if urgent
action isnt taken to preserve its habitat and prevent
poaching. Tiger-themed activities include a fancy
dress opening party on 1 Mar, a Kids Weekend on
16-17 Mar and a Gala Dinner on 21 Mar.
Meanwhile at ZSL London Zoo (p. 38), a brand-new
3.6m enclosure for Sumatran tigers is opening on

Amazing Amazon
No visit to London would be complete without
experiencing the glory of the River Thames, whether
with a walk along the cultural quarter of the South
Bank, a visit to the Tower of London or a hop-on,
hop-off river cruise. But if you think the Thames is
impressive, consider the Amazon: its the worlds
largest river and is responsible for around 20% of
the Earths fresh water entering the ocean. Its also
one of the most biologically diverse landscapes out
there. You can learn more about this extraordinary
habitat and the people, animals and plants that
live there with Amazon Adventure (until 24 Nov)
at the Horniman Museum (p. 58). This interactive
exhibition for families begins on board the riverboat
Victoria Amazonia, with a warning from your captain
about the sorts of creatures youll encounter, from
hungry piranhas to bizarre pink river dolphins. Youll
then see displays of live sh, get to feel what a zap
from an electric eel might be like, and learn about
the environmental dangers facing this magestic
waterway today.

From 1 Mar Delve into The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The
Night-Time, as the acclaimed National Theatre stage show transfers
to the West Ends Apollo Theatre. Based on the award-winning
novel by British author Mark Haddon, it follows the adventures
of a 15-year-old boy with Asperger syndrome (a form of autism),
as he tries to solve the mystery surrounding the unfortunate murder
of his neighbours pet dog. Luke Treadaway (left, Attack The Block)
and Niamh Cusack (Hereafter) head the talented cast.

An American jukebox
musical based around
1980s rock anthems. Mon-
Sat 19.45; Fri & Sat 15.00.
Garrick Theatre, 2 Charing
Spice Up Your Life with the unashamedly positive
force of girl power. This jukebox musical shows
you how. Featuring the songs of 1990s pop
phenomenon the Spice Girls, it tells the story of
Eternity a Wannabe girl group whose chance at
the big time, is put under threat by the manipulative
svengalis behind a TV talent show. Will friendship be
sacriced for ambition? That would be telling!
Among 23 musical numbers youll nd all the Spices
biggest hits, such as Stop, Goodbye and 2 Become 1,
plus solo songs from Geri Halliwell (Look At Me) and
Mel C (I Turn To You). Stand-out performances come
from Hannah John-Kamen (The Hours) as Viva, Lucy
Montgomery (Tittybangbang) providing excellent comic
relief, and Sally Dexter (above centre, Sugartown) as
a ruthless judge whose character is pitched somewhere
between Sharon Osbourne and Cruella De Vil.
I have to admit that, despite my preconceptions,
I ended up really enjoying the show. An interesting story,
some funny dialogue (from writer Jennifer Saunders of
Ab Fab fame) and lots of bouncey tunes make for a fun
night out. I defy you not to hum one on the way home.

critics: El Pirata offers me everything I look for in a
restaurant. Fine food, excellent choice, comfortable
surroundings, marvellous service and a bill at the end
that doesnt give me indigestion!.
A feast of tasty dishes. Starting with cold tapas,
huge prawns, juicy chorizo and ham, seafood and
Russian salad. Then an array of hot tapas dishes
which kept coming. Mmmm!
This is an extremely popular venue - not surprisingly,
given its excellent reviews in restaurant guides such
as Zagat, Hardens and Square Meal.

STK (p. 82) the popular US steakhouse, recently
opened in London on the ground oor of the new
ME Hotel on the Strand. From the outset it is evident
this is not your average steakhouse. The dcor is chic
in glossy black and cream with a central bar serving
a vast array of signature cocktails, including the
delectable Not Your Daddys Manhattan.
Diners are seated in cosy, yet luxuriously elegant,
cream leather curved booths and service is friendly
yet attentive. Starters include beef or tuna tartare,
mini wagyu burgers and a range of garden salads
amongst others. For the main course, steak is the
obvious choice and they do not disappoint! Served in
small, medium or large cuts, cooked to absolute melt
in the mouth perfection and served with a sauce
of your choice; you can also add toppings such as
lobster or black trufe and sides, including the highly
recommended parmesan trufe chips. The menu also
offers a selection of sh and chicken for those not so
steak-inclined. If after all of this you still have space
for dessert, try the salted caramel tarts, youll be in
heaven. Review by Bridget Mastino

Accommodation

There is a vast range of
accommodation in London.
Stay in world-famous
hotels, B&Bs (bed and
breakfasts), guesthouses,
self-catering apartments or
good-quality hostels. Youll
nd something to suit all
tastes and budgets.

Accommodation

If you want a treat, then
London has some of the
best hotels in the world,
including renowned luxury
instituations such as
the Savoy ( fairmont.
com/savoy), Claridges
( claridges.co.uk), the
Dorchester ( the
dorchester.com), and the
Ritz ( theritzlondon.com).
For those on a budget,
boutique hotels, B&Bs
and guesthouses offer
stylish and comfortable
accommodation at very
good prices. Most offer
en-suite rooms, although
smaller establishments
might only have shared
bathrooms. Many hotel
groups and chains offer
special deals.
By far the cheapest
places to stay in London
are hostels such as
Generator Hostels
( generatorhostels.com)
and YHA London ( yha.
org.uk). They offer a
secure environment and
sociable atmosphere, often
for less than 15 per
person per night.
If youre looking
for something more
exible, try self-catering
accommodation. Having
your own kitchen gives you
more control over your meal
times, plus self catering
often works out cheaper
than hotels or B&Bs.
Accommodation
