First day in London or there's a man in my bed

So I go to the 1/2 price theater ticket booth and get a ticket for Warhorse (recommended by couple I met in Sahara and involving a horse and puppets - don't know anything else and haven't checked). book online a ticket to the Globe theatre for Tuesday afternoon. wander around london and then off to dinner and the play. It is incredable and unlike anything I have seen before. I have heard talk that Steven Speilberg is making a movie out of it.
walk back to the hostel and enter my room in the dark and go to bed and there is someone in it. some front deskscrew up and I take another bed. Have breakfast with him the next day and he is a scot leaving for Australia to live down there. while we are at breakfast a yound guy is looking for someone to site and he joins us. he is from New Jersey, living in Anchorage and working temporarily in Scotland but visting London. is in the oil industry and interesting. Off to the Globe and then a walking tour of some kind.
