West End Shows - We Will Rock You



Set to the classic rock tracks of Queen, We Will Rock You transports you to a futuristic world where rock music is banned and Boy Bands and Girl Groups rule....but resistance is growing!

Globalisation is complete. Children wear the same clothes and watch the same films and think the same things. On Planet Mall all musical instruments are banned and the Company Computers generate the tunes and the kids download them.

Unless you’re a rebel….unless you want to rock! At the heart of this romantic and hilarious rock comedy are all of Queen’s most famous hits, including Radio Ga Ga, Bohemian Rhapsody, Killer Queen, Another One Bites the Dust, It's A Kind Of Magic, Somebody To Love, We Are The Champions and of course, We Will Rock You.

Bamboo Garden

This is home to the UK’s largest collection of bamboos, which range from the well-known lofty pole varieties to wispy, variegated species. Dominating the garden is the Minka House, an authentic Japanese farm dwelling dating from the early 1900s and reconstructed at Kew Gardens.
