Winter doesn't have to be a season of total hibernation. Of course, we all love duvet days, but if you do brave the cold this season, London is surely the place to be. With the West End alive with an array of top London shows, the capital offers plenty of entertainment for those stay indoors kind of days.

So, which London shows will be running over the winter period? Well the good news is there are some classics out there at the moment and a handful more about to open.

Here are five London shows sure to make the cold weather bearable.

Mamma Mia!

If you've the winter blues already, why not head to London to see Mamma Mia. A lively and upbeat show set to a host of ABBA's greatest hits, this production is great entertainment for the family and perfect as part of a girl's night on the town. Head out of the cold and enjoy this London show superbly performed by a talented London cast. You could even buy the soundtrack and lift your spirits all through the dark months.

Legally Blonde the Musical

Legally Blonde the Musical is another London show that will definitely lift your spirits. Fun, light-hearted and extraordinarily pink, Legally Blonde has a host of clever songs and a very amusing script. What's more it stars a whole range of celebrities including TV favourite Sheridan Smith.

Theatreland is also alive with the news that a host of other A-list celebs will be joining the cast on the 25 October including Denise Van Outen as Paulette, Siobhan Dillan as Vivienne Kensington and Carley Stenson as Margot. You certainly can't see your favourite actors live on stage if you stay in your pyjamas all season, and what's more, London short breaks are just too good to miss.

The Woman in Black

If you are brave, The Woman In Black is a petrifying show that will have you quaking in your boots. London shows do not get scarier than this and it's sure to get your heart racing with thanks to its atmospheric sets and jumpy scenes. If you are a horror fan, London Theatre breaks can be just as scary - if not scarier - as watching a film on the couch. So get out there and see a scary story live on stage this winter.

Flashdance the Musical

Based on the hit film of the same name, Flashdance has recently opened at the West End's Shaftesbury Theatre and is set to be a scorcher of a show. Enjoy this classic story of Alex, a welder by day and a dancer by night, live onstage as part of a London theatre break. A great London show starring Matt Willis as Nick and Victoria Hamilton-Barritt as Alex, Flashdance the Musical is a real treat.

Puss In Boots Christmas Pantomime

With the festive season just around the corner, London is a great place to enjoy a festive show and what better to see than a traditional Christmas pantomime. Puss In Boots Christmas Pantomime will open at the Arts Theatre on 18 November 2010 and follows the adventures of everyone's favourite feline. A show for all the family, this is definitely worth seeing as part of a London theatre break this Christmas.
