By planning ahead I got my Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone rail ticket for £5 and then walked to The Albert Hall (Transport for London website showed it was going to be faster).
Down the Edgeware Road - a little bit of the Middle East in West London - cars driving up and down, horns blowing, Egyptian flags waving - it was the day Mubarak stood down, then across a very dark but still safe Hyde Park (where cyclists stop for pedestrians to cross the cycleway - oh how I don't miss that aspect of Poland) to South Kensington.
A very nice (and swiftly served) meal at the theatre - but what prices - I am seriously out of date - the dessert was about £7.50 and gone in two mouthfuls
You are NOT allowed to take pictures during the performance - not least to avoid any flash distracting the performers - so I snuck one before it all started:
If you have never seen a C-du-S performance - go see one - it was great.
