With 207 shows, spread over four weeks, at eight venues across Camden, it can only be the Camden Fringe. It's in it's fourth year, and already the press acclaim it as a worthy competitor to the better known Edinburgh Fringe, in a David and Goliath sort of way.

Nick Jonas has made quite an impact in Les Miserables. Playing the student revolutionary Marius in the long-running West End musical, the star of hit films Camp Rock and television series JONAS LA has made the role his own. To accommodate the growing legion of British fans desperate to catch a glimpse of the young heartthrob on stage the rising star has extended his run by a further two weeks, and will now be appearing until July 24^th.

Nick has also completed work on the sequel to Camp Rock, Camp Rock 2 – The Final Jam, and the tie-in tour will now commence on August 7^th in the States, two weeks later than planned. The film will open in the UK on September 17^th this year.

Jonas has also signed up for the very special 25^th anniversary production of Les Miserables at the O2 Arena on October 3^rd. He’ll be performing alongside Little Britain star Matt Lucas in the role of Thenardier and a host of other West End greats. So if you can’t get along before the 24^th July, and because we really do love London, you can find full details of the O2 extravaganza here.

If you’re passing through Waterloo Station for the next few months, you might get something of a surprise. Since Eurostar services from London to France are now running from the St Pancras International, the large train terminal at Waterloo has been left unused. Now it’s being put to inventive use with the arrival in London of The Railway Children, because they obviously love London as much as us.

Written by Mike Kenny and directed by Damien Cruden, this new stage adaptation of E. Nesbitt’s classic novel has transferred to London after two very successful runs at the National Railway Museum . Using the rail tracks to ingenious effect, this production brings the story of Bobby, Jean and Phyllis and their falsely imprisoned father to life – and undoubtedly the star of the production is the real train which steams onto the ‘stage.’ Playing one of the most famous trains in fiction is a difficult task for any actor, but the Stirling Single steam locomotive (GNR 4-2-2 No.1) employed surely makes the part its own.

For a chance to transport yourself back to the days when Waterloo was buzzing with steam engines, and enjoy this classic tale unfold before your eyes, check out of theatre pages for full details on how to book and times available. 

The American pop sensation Nick Jonas (of the Jonas Brothers) has debuted on the London stage in Les Miserables playing Marius. The star is set for a very limited three week run at the Queen’s Theatre in the West End, and because we really do love London, the londontravelpack.com team were in attendance.

Supported by his equally talented older brothers Kevin and Joe (and of course an army of excited young fans) Nick confidently took to the stage for a rapturous reception.

The South Bank along the River Thames is always worth checking out. Home to the National Theatre, The Tate Modern and the rebuilt Shakespeare’s Globe, it has a reputation for the best of London’s culture and art. It’s also an ideal walk for the London visitor, and because we really love London, we’ll often take a stroll from Waterloo to London Bridge for free entertainment from the many buskers, or just a coffee and snack from one of the many cafes.
