LondonTheatreBreaks

You can spin out your theatre breaks in London by adding some extra cultural entertainment without increasing the bill. There are plenty of free events if you look for them, and in this article I'm showcasing the Foyer music at London's National Theatre on the SouthBank.

The free foyer concerts are always in 'Djanogly Concert Pitch' area outside the main reception and on Mondays to Saturday s they are on early evening before the performance at 5.45pm but if you go on a Saturday there's an extra free concert lunch time at 1pm.
