SOLT launches Olympic travel guide with Transport for London
The Society of London Theatre has teamed up with Transport for London to launch a travel guide for people heading to the West End during next year’s Olympic Games in the capital.
Featuring tips for journey planning and ordering tickets, the guide is now available on both the Official London Theatre and TfL websites. According to a statement released by SOLT, the proximity of the West End to a number of mainline rail stations and tubes running an hour later than usual will make it easy for theatre patrons to travel during the games.
Julian Bird, SOLT chief executive, said: “I am delighted to be working closely with Transport for London to ensure that audiences have the most accurate information possible for planning their trip to the theatre during the Olympic period.
“Twenty-nine productions have already announced that they will be playing next summer and advances for 2012 are looking strong. A trip to one of London’s world famous shows is a great addition to any Olympic itinerary or the perfect antidote to a summer of sport.”
