Haymarket Theatre

Your London Theatre Guide

London is well known as one of the UKs best destinations for anyone hoping to soak up a little theatre. The capital of England is home to numerous venues and productions of all shapes and sizes, making it a beacon for fans of the stage. What’s more, London is an excellent place for premiers and is often graced with performances from the big stars of the theatre and TV worlds.

Anyone taking a trip to London to enjoy some theatre may find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of theatres and shows on offer, but a little forward planning should help.

With an association with the theatre stretching back to the renaissance, London is well known as an area for theatrical excellence and some of the best venues to enjoy high class productions include those in the South Bank area of London, which is home to the prestigious National and Globe Theatres while the famous the Barbican Theatre is located in the City of London too.

London’s West End is the place to go for anyone hoping to enjoy a little musical theatre, although plenty of other genres can also be found there. This area, particularly around Haymarket, Covent Garden and Leicester Square, is packed with performances and theatres that make it a premier destination, most notably Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue, and The Strand. These are also good choices for those looking for comedy shows and performances.

The Royal Opera House, the London Coliseum, Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the Royal Albert Hall are all also located in the West End, meaning theatre buffs can also enjoy everything from ballet to opera in the area.

The Fringe is the name of all other London theatre activity that resides outside of these two main districts and many smaller venues can be found on the peripheries. These establishments can offer a good chance to see acts on their way to the big time and could offer entertainments at cheaper prices, so they are definitely worth checking out.

As London is such as big place, it’s a good idea to book London hotels depending on the kind of theatre you’re hoping to enjoy on your trip to the capital. This means choosing hotels offering easy access to, for example, the West End if you’re heart is set on enjoying some show-stopping musicals.

By choosing the best location to stay in, you’re likely to be able to pack in a couple more shows on your trip!
