Neighbourhood: Trafalgar Square / Embankment
With its iconic Nelson’s Column, majestic oversized lions and brightly-lit fountains, Trafalgar Square is not just considered the heart of this bustling London hub, but the very core of the city itself. Beyond this esteemed gathering place are more famous icons, as well as a disproportionate numbers of the city’s most popular cultural attractions including the National Gallery and many West End theaters. Along the way to these major sites are quiet lanes and antiquated pubs to discover, as well as riverside vistas to enjoy on the embankment. With a calendar full of celebratory events, any time of year is a fine time to visit.

Excellent theatre, and Excellent Show
Apr 2023
I saw the book of mormons for a Saturday matinee, It was a last min ticket so I was in the circle J1 the seat was excellent for the price. The legroom was good and the seats were a good size the show itself was fantastic so funny. The venue was lovely the staff were all really helpful and as I sat in the circle it was quite a steep incline I saw several members of staff helping people to their seats who looked like they didn’t like hights so that was nice as well. Highly recommend.

Comfortable theatre and great production
Apr 2023 • Friends
Really lovely theatre! We watched The Book of Mormon and I would highly recommend it. The seats were comfy and the view was amazing and was reasonably priced. Could see all of the stage and the volume level was perfect.

Book of Mormon was amazing. We were on the front row. Stage is quite low so view was excellent. Raking of the stalls didn't look very steep so not sure what view is like further back. In person lottery doesn't happen anymore - we nearly turned up at the theater for this but apparently it stopped ages ago!!

Thank you - great experience!
Jan 2023 • Friends
Saw Book of Mormon this evening, which was amazing - thanks to the cast and crew for an energetic and hilarious show. The theatre itself is beautiful but we really wanted to say a massive thank you to Michael and Jasmine for making our lives so much easier and helping my sister with her access needs. We have visited so many shows before and had access tickets at several theatres before but have never experienced this before and as my sister has an invisible illness, it was so lovely to be greeted and checked on by such caring, lovely and non-judgmental people.

Book of Mormon
Dec 2022 • Couples
Visited the theatre to watch Book of Mormon. This was my first theatre visit in UK as I'm not a big fan of stage performances but I did enjoy the visit. We were in circle seats where you get a bit of space but have limited view of the play. They also have food served here but the food/drink service close as soon as the play begins. The seating areas were clean and pristine so kudos to the staff!

Watch The Book Of Mormon
Jul 2022
Amazing theater! I have got to the place and the play based on the recommendation of a friend. I watched the play The Book Of Mormon and I totally liked it! I would say that watching this play, or maybe also other play at this theater, is a great thing to do in London even when you are in the city for the first time.

Great show with a simply superb, talented cast.
Dec 2022
This is our second visit to this theatre and The Book of Mormon. We took our friends this time for a birthday present and all four of us really enjoyed the whole experience. The show is simply superb and although some people may take offence at the content, if you know what to expect before you go, you cant really complain afterwards. Having said that we all found it very funny in parts but the talented cast simply make the whole experience one to remember. We really cant find fault but do be aware that when you have drinks at the bar cash is not accepted and you have to pay by card. At the end of our show the cast who were given an amazing applause by the audience, appealed for the audience to please give generously if possible for a charity who helps out the acting/stage community. Cash was accepted in the buckets the cast held out to the audience as they left the building. With regards the theatre as a building it is very spacious and we found the seating excellent and the staff brilliant.

No Cash payment
Sep 2022 • Solo
I'm extremely sorry for the whole staff/crew there that I have to give a one star rating. I watched the book of Mormons and it was fantastic, the story was great and funny, the actors did a great job as well as the people behind the stage, the light technician did an amazing job, the sound was okay... BUT they don't accept cash payment at the bar indoors which is a complete no-go for me!

Yes, I could've payed by card as well for the drinks, but not giving customers the option is for me, as an economist, a complete no-go as it might be only beneficial for a company in the short-run, but if they can't see the long-term risks that go along which such a decision I can't support this business model at all. Well, in the end they missed out at least on the turnover of a couple beers for me and I won't recommend any of my friends to go there.
