And finally, London I

 Kensington Gardens in the evening

 To watch The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, much happiness ensued

I can really recommend the 360 version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - yet probably mostly for those who have grown up with Narnia, either the books or the old tv-series. My sister and I grew up watching these on taped-from-tv-videos, again and again, long before we were old enough to notice the beat-you-over-the-head Christian theme. Watching the show in Kensington Gardens was very much a nudge/whisper/LOOKIT'SASLAN-experience for both of us, in the same way that we now watch the Lion King together. It is a very cleverly done play though, with a circular scene (duh) which means they need have actors facing in all directions - I'd say it's interesting for those who are interested in theatre as an art as well as fans of the BBC-series, and moreso for those of us that are both. Go, go!
