Where can I see Paddington the Musical in London?
Paddington has discovered a new residence, which is none other than the Savoy Theatre in London’s West End – a venue that is showcasing burlesque performances throughout the summer season.
As a devoted admirer, I’d eagerly share that this prestigious location gracefully rests along the shoreline. The most convenient ways to reach it are by hopping onto the Bakerloo or Northern Lines at Charing Cross, or taking the Piccadilly and Northern Lines from Leicester Square.
