    What you'll see and do

    1. St. Martins Theatre

      Make your own way to St Martin’s Theatre in central London, and take your seat for this classic murder-mystery stage play, adapted from Agatha Christie’s short story and radio drama of the same name. A fixture of London’s West End since its opening, this hugely entertaining play is the world’s longest running show, and tells the story of a group of people trapped by snow in a country house hotel, who discover, with nerve-jangling results, that one of them is set on a murderous mission. 
Sit on the edge of your seat as the plot twists, turns and throws you on and off the scent with Christie's trademark, silky ease. Then, gasp aloud when the shocking identity of the murdered is finally revealed — one of the best-kept secrets in theater history!

    You gotta see this show!

    You won’t get it. You may think you know. But you don’t know! This is a London no-brainer… Great story. Great acting. Great venue.

    Wonderful show, with a...

    Wonderful show, with a twist I didnt suspect. Only downside was the seats were uncomfortable but good value. 🙂

    There’s a mouse in the house

    Very enjoyable. It’s classic Agatha Christie - big house, pompous characters, plot twists etc. The set was very good and the acting largely excellent. Ignore the haters, it’s good fun

    Skip this and see something else!

    Dull as dishwater. Wish we had left at the interval as I saw another couple do so. Felt like an am dram production (we regularly support am dram) however at london prices we expected better. We knew it was fairly low tech which is fine, hpwever the script was awful and the jokes they tried at add were just cringey. The theatre is lovely however. I bought these as a Xmas present for the in laws and had to apologise at the end. Please see something else!

    A Fantastic Way To Spend A Few Hours in London

    It was my second time watching Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap at London’s St. Martin’s Theatre, the first time being more than 10 years ago, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable. While I already knew who the murderer was, I was able to focus more on the acting and see if I could spot the subtle clues that each character portrayed. Being a great Christie fan, I must say this is indeed in her hallmark style of red herrings. Loved it! ❤️

    London Theatre: The Mousetrap: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does London Theatre: The Mousetrap cost?

    +

    Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does London Theatre: The Mousetrap take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is London Theatre: The Mousetrap worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 81 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule London Theatre: The Mousetrap?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is London Theatre: The Mousetrap suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book London Theatre: The Mousetrap?

    +

    Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does London Theatre: The Mousetrap start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in London Theatre: The Mousetrap?

    +

    Included: All taxes, fees and handling charges; and Admission ticket. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for London Theatre: The Mousetrap?

    +

    Is London Theatre: The Mousetrap wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
