London - To Do
BBC Proms Royal Albert Hall
Located just across Hyde Park, this prominent structure is the IT place for performers and musicians. Featuring only the best of the best. The proms brings music to the masses. 
Apart from trying to catch your favorite music performances, give the Proms tour a go. See why at times the Prince rather a normal box than the . Listen to the interesting annacdotes shared by tour guides
ABBA Tip: It doesn't cost a lot to watch a concert ticket at the Proms. For sold out shows, Promming places (standing spaces in the 'mosh pit' are available on the door for only £5.00 each. These tickets are not bookable in advance, so you always have a good chance of getting in.*excerpt from website.

Farnborough Airshow
*reviewed from 2010
Next years airshow 14-20th July 2014


I've since forgotten the details of getting there, but it involves a train ride and a shuttle bus all of which are inclusive of the transportation costs and are very easy and self-explanatory. Lots of signages and well organized. Approximately 1.5hrs-2hrs travel time from Millennium Gloucester Hotel.
Like many other airshows, see the latest and greatest, but always the crowd pleasers are the aerial displays. Aerial stunts, old war birds, and see aircraft pull angles of banks and Gs never thought possible. Definitely not to be missed if you are in London during this time.


ABBATip: Bring along a FM Radio receiver! You get so much more out of the experience. Stunt shows give on-site commentary, but the speakers at location are severely muffled.
