Honestly, given that you are really unfamiliar with London - wouldn't it
be a lot easier to get a train to Waterloo & then a taxi to your
destination?



whats the point, it probably costs more money getting there in taxi than it
does in parking,


No. Waterloo to Bow Street is only a few minutes walk. If you really
must take a cab, it would be about a 4 pound minimum fare (it is well
under a mile). Street parking in that part of London (if you can find
any) is 4 pounds an hour.

ok maybe it is a little more hassle driving in but its worht it (imo)


You are certainly entitled to your view. I go to the theatre in the west
end quite regularly, and I wouldn't dream of taking my car all the way
in - quite apart from the cost, the worry of missing curtain-up with the
frequent lengthy traffic jams throughout central London is just not
worth the risk, imo.
