Yes, it has been officially confirmed that Sir Elton John will be playing his final tour in London’s Hyde Park on June 2022.

With its area of 142 hectares, Hyde Park is the largest of the London Royal parks, best known for its famous “speakers corner” and where you can also find many wonderful sights, including the statue to “the boy that never grew up” and even a Royal pet cemetery.

The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes. Hoxton Hall, 130 Hoxton Street, London, N1 6SH

Showing 10th April – 10th May 2013 Wednesday to Saturday at 7:30pm. Saturday matinees at 3:00pm. Sundays at 2:00pm and 6:00pm.

All is not as it should be at 221b Baker Street. Sherlock Holmes has become a trifle bored. The watery demise of his archenemy Moriarty has left him bereft. His assistant, Dr. Watson, is away with the fairies and his disgruntled housekeeper, Mrs Hudson, is, well, … she’s growing increasingly neurotic in her quest to find a man.
Just the right time for a lost dog and a call from the grave to lure our pillar of London society into a perilous web of mystery, unlike any he has encountered before.
Set amid the colourful and vibrant world of the Victorian Music Hall, against the backdrop of the stunning Hoxton Hall, The Revenge of Sherlock Holmes will be a musical spectacular like no other.

The longest running play in the world is Agatha Christie’s Continue reading
