So after the visit to the London Transport Museum, it was on to Leicester Square, for West End Live. Every year the various theatres around the West End and their shows get together to present snippets from the shows for free to the general public at a special stage set up in Leicester Square. Its very popular with the general public - and this year was no exception, it was absolutely packed.
I was there for a few hours in the afternoon and saw King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys, Jay Johnson and The Two And Only (he was an amazing ventriloquist - drew a picture on a board, somehow it animated and he held a full on conversation with the "drawing" he'd done!), and a few snippets from Avenue Q. They also had various other small stalls set up - a photography stand so you could look like you just arrived at a premiere, some stands promoting films coming out soon (King Panda or something)... generally all good fun and a lot going on!
Here's a video snippet of what I saw:
