Timed outline

The plan, with the boring-but-vital buffers included

Times show a usable sequence. Each segment also carries an honest distance state, access caution, pushchair note and child break. “Unmeasured” is intentional where no defensible route distance exists.

Performance day

  1. 01

    Ticket − 4 hr • 75 min

    MinaLima

    A nearby design stop with enough slack to leave if it is crowded or the venue arrangement changes.

    Walking distance
    Local walking is required; exact distance is unmeasured unless the linked location guide states otherwise
    Access and surfaces
    Open the linked location guide for known surfaces, then verify the exact street approach.
    Pushchair
    Street and venue conditions vary; use the linked guide and live access information.
    Child break
    Treat this stop as optional and leave early for a seated break if energy drops.

    Flexible stop
  2. 02

    Ticket − 2 hr 45 • 75 min

    Sit-down meal near the theatre

    Choose a booking that can finish comfortably before the production’s stated security-arrival guidance.

    Walking distance
    Venue-dependent—choose the closest suitable seated option and map the exact approach
    Access and surfaces
    Seating or toilets are not assumed; confirm the chosen venue’s current access directly.
    Pushchair
    Confirm storage, aisle space and toilets with the chosen venue.
    Child break
    This is the planned seated, food, water and toilet break.
    Meal / rest
  3. 03

    Ticket − 90 min • 30 min

    Collect belongings and walk to Shaftesbury Avenue

    Do not bring a suitcase or large bag; current production rules control admission.

    Walking distance
    Route-dependent and not field-measured—calculate the exact start and end in TfL’s live planner
    Access and surfaces
    Check every station, street crossing and destination separately; step-free rail does not certify the street route.
    Pushchair
    Prefer fewer changes and verify lift status, platform gaps and the final street approach.
    Child break
    Use the buffer for toilets or a short pause if needed; do not consume the next fixed-booking margin.

    Ticket − 60 min • Performance-specific

    Palace Theatre arrival and performance

    The exact ticket date, format and running time control. Recheck the official production page.

    Use the venue’s official access route for the exact entrance and internal journey.
    Pushchair
    Venue rules apply; confirm storage and permitted use before booking.
    Child break

    Fixed booking

Bad-weather fallback

Use the shortest route between MinaLima, a booked meal and the theatre; drop Cecil Court and exterior photography.

Meals, toilets and rest

The sit-down meal is fixed in the schedule. Use the theatre’s current ticket information for interval and admission rules.

Known limitation

No street segment was field-timed or access-audited. Use the official journey planner and location access notes before travel.
