I finally got my wish….clear skies at 6pm! The reason I was so keen for this today is that I wanted to see Toad Hall at The Scoop!
Toad Hall at The Scoop
To say that I was absolutely enchanted by this delightful play would be an understatement. A fun, silly, riotuous play with characters from Kenneth Graham’s ‘Wind in the Willows’. The Scoop is situated at More London Riverside, between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, London, SE1 2DB on the south bank of The Thames. The reference to our delightful Mayor Boris Johnson, is unmistakable, and the players send him up in the most amusing way! 
The colours, fun and energy definitely appeal to children, but the humour was definitely for the adult palate. I thorough enjoyed the play which only lasts for an hour……and it is an hour of delight! A must to see before it finishes on 5 September. You can still see it this weekend on Saturday and Sunday and next week Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 5th being the last show. The play is FREE and all they ask is for a small donation after to allow them to continue to wonderful tradition next year.
Nearest tube stations: Tower Hill on the District & Circle Lines or London Bridge on the Northern Line. Personally I would recommend that you go via Tower Hill and walk alongside the Tower of London and the over the river via Tower Bridge to the Southbank and to The Scoop. This route will give you the best of many of London’s wonderful sights: the Tower of London, remnants of the ancient London wall, a view of the Tower of London that is 2nd to none, and a walk across our iconic Tower Bridge with it’s delightful view of the River Thames. Enjoy and if you only have 3 Days in London be sure to make the most of it.
