The 30 Best Actor training in London

“Drama in the Woods is a fantastic way for children to spend a week outdoors blowing away the cobwebs, making friends and being creative. The instructors are the perfect mix of professional, caring and fun. My kids love it.”

“PopGems is an incredible place where children can truly explore their creativity and talents. The staff are not only dedicated but also passionate about creating a positive, welcoming atmosphere where kids can dance, act, and sing in a fun and supportive environment. It's clear that a lot of hard work goes into making every class enjoyable, and it’s evident how much the kids love being there. I highly recommend PopGems to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow, have fun, and discover their creative potential. It’s been a wonderful experience!”

“I had a wonderful experience training with Robyn and the London Meisner Company, having finished now I miss them all so much. I think the benefits of having a group to train with weekly can’t be understated. Robyn is direct and great at what she does, but she doesn’t cross the line into being harsh which I actually experienced at a different place I studied Meisner at, so that was always appreciated. She helped me see there were many more approaches to the work that I hadn’t explored before and I can’t wait to go back to masterclass and keep it all up! My class was also full of amazing people who have become friends, so that is always a plus! Thank you Robyn!”

“Couldn't have made a better decision than joining The Actors Gym! They provide so many opportunities from self tape challenges to masterclasses with amazing actors in the industry and really help push me to become a better performer! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get into acting or even if you just want something to keep you sharp with performing and staying motivated! Thank you so much, can't wait for all the new updates that are coming!”

“Brilliant place. Staff super helpful. Highly recommended for rehearsals.”

“Amazing Drama School and they definitely exceed my expectations after completing my degree! Firstly, the syllabus was well structured, gave exposure to wide range of Acting subjects/techniques and had depth. Second, the teachers and staff was the best part of LSDA, they were very experienced, hands on, professional and cared about your education growth, they definitely challenge you. Third, the style of teaching at LSDA was exercise base rather than just theory. Fourth, you will be part of a class of other inspiring actors during your degree who share the same passion, they will be a big part of your learning curve and you will build a special bond with them like non other. One of the best experiences I have ever had.”

“My son has been attending their classes for years. It has been wonderful for his confidence, sense of drama and social skills Wholeheartedly recommend it”

“Unique, Inspiring and Soulful studio space. It encourages joy in the growth of yourself as an Actor and Human being. Beautiful community both in London and World Wide! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to deepen their connection to their Craft, Soul and fellow Humans!”

“Amazing actor training, I haven't come across anything like it in London.”

“The most amazing group of women put their life and soul into West London Performing Arts Academy. This organisation supports all ability and is such a wonderful nurturing environment. My daughter is very shy and this has really helped her come out of her shell. I can’t recommend highly enough. ❤️”

“Did a free taster workshop here and loved it. Accepting atmosphere, really not a normal drama school. When I visited RADA I found it super super stuffy - Fourth Monkey made me feel at home even in the small amount of time I spent there. Great drama school with an engaging nonstandard physical theatre approach.”

“Acting is easy, we do it every day. This class is not about performing. This is a class about being. Highly recommended for grounding your art in authenticity.”

“I spent a total of 9 years attending classes at SRA (aged 9-18). The classes are fantastic, high quality and taught by amazing teachers- tap, ballet, jazz, contemporary, musical theatre were all highlights at my time here. The community is second to none and would recommend SRA to any parent looking to get their children into the performing arts. It has something for everyone ☀️”

“My daughter has been attending LESTA for 5 years and she absolutely loves it! It gives her a sense of purpose and belonging. The shows that Miss Leanne puts on are just incredible. The dedication and hard work really shines through her teaching. The pupils are a little community. It's really lovely to see. I highly recommend LESTA!”

“My 4 year old daughter attends Ballet at Starmakerz every week and she absolutely adores it. Every morning she asks “is it ballet today?” it is without doubt the highlight of her week. She was nervous to start with but Lisa and the team were amazing at encouraging her to give it a try and even offered us a second free trial, after which I could barely drag her away at the end! Really can’t recommend highly enough, even for the shy children it’s a brilliant confidence boost.”

“Our daughter had simply the best time at the PPAS summer school. The classes were varied and brilliantly taught, the two performances at the Leicester Square Theatre and Covent Garden piazza were so exciting and the friendships formed have built up her confidence so much. She is desperate to sign up for next year!!”

“My daughter has been in the acro fusion class for a few months now. She's not a natural dancer, and lacked confidence in her abilities. However since being at Harlequins she has made lots of friends and grown massively in confidence. Great job!”

“My daughter recently had the opportunity to attend a drama lesson, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. The session was engaging, inspiring, and full of energy. It was wonderful to see her come home excited and confident The instructor created a warm and encouraging environment that helped her feel comfortable and expressive from the start. Thank you for offering such a fantastic opportunity—this has truly sparked a new passion in her! Thanks Emma, Lisa and the rest of the team...well appreciated. Love Nicolex”

“Oliver & his team at PQA Richmond provide such a warm, positive environment. My daughter’s confidence has soared since she joined 4 years ago. She has made new friends & had some fantastic opportunities. Thank you PQA Richmond!”

“My daughter whos 8 had her first show on a theatre stage 3 shows over the weekend , and my whole family was literally blown away with the outcome, we have watched her at school plays and we thought she may have had a little nerves being her first time singing on her own in front of a packed out theatre, but she literally left us bursting with pride as she sang on her own whilst dancing with her group, there was no way we was expecting that, we left the show Saturday night buzzing with excitement, we could not believe the confidence that she had , she was living her best life and it was all down to Farli and her amazing team, all the songs and dances was something else. They had every child giving there best over the weekend all the children was included and the energy from each child on that stage , gives you a warm fuzzy feeling that is hard to explain. As a parent you wouldnt want anything else when it comes to your child performing . We are still speechless. Farli literally is a super woman she makes sure your child reaches there full potential. We can not wait for the next one. I recommend csta to any parent who wants there child to reach there full potential.”

“PPA is by far one of the best Performing Arts colleges, for both Musical Theatre and Acting!! I am very proud to say that I am a student here. I completed my Foundation course in June this year and I am embarking upon my 3 year BA(Hons) in Musical Theatre course from next month. I decided to stay at PPA to continue my training as it's a very supportive, family-orientated college who cater to your every need! ALL the staff are friendly and welcoming who push you and challenge you to reach your full potential and give you endless advice on how to fully develop your skills in all 3 disciplines. All of the teaching staff are either current or ex-industry professionals, which gives us a true insight into what the industry currently is/what it was and what we will expect once we've graduated. Louise and Costa (the principal and vice principal) are so organised with ensuring we have everything we possibly need to ensuring we have the best training we can get and we are all so thankful for that! The amount of extra hours they put in amazes me! They honestly care for us all so so much and it's so lovely to know they will go above and beyond to ensure we get the most out of our training! ALL the staff know each and every single students name, which is very nice as they get to know you on a personal level and you feel like you're wanted, most of the other drama schools forget this is a HUGE part to a students development, feeling welcomed! So, I love that PPA makes a big deal out of getting to know everyone, so that no one feels left out or alone. I am eternally grateful for the training I've received at PPA up to now, and I am so looking forward to the next 3 years! All I'm saying is that if you are thinking of auditioning here, then DO IT!! You'll have the best 3 or maybe even 4 years of your life! #PLACETOBE.”

“My daughter really loved and enjoyed every sessions with Leyton. His so amazing throughout the journey for my daughter development, confident, acting etc. It was brilliant. Well recommended.”

“Miss Amy is a gifted teacher who makes everyone feel included, safe & special. Her students clearly love her. Theative camps are unique, magical & memorable experiences where children get to be part of a creative team, culminating in incredibly impressive performances for parents on the final day. Cannot recommend highly enough! ✨”

“My son is off to this drama school for a week today. He was lucky enough to get a place again this year. Training from professional theatre actors and question and answer session. Masterclasses in various stage techniques or make-up etc etc and a trip to see a westend show this year it's gatsby. The end of the week they preform in his majesty's theatre infront of parents family friends and industry experts. It is a world class experience with children and young people travelling worldwide to attend. My son made friends from around the world last year who he has kept in contact with and he is happy that they are in the same accommodation time slot this year. It's fully chaperoned and safe and an amazing experience opportunity if you are artistic and love theatre.”

“Truly one of the most insightful and immersive classes i have ever been a part of. Sam is truly a gem of a teacher and he will push you positively for you to realise your potential. He is all about substance and craft. So if you are serious about the craft and your career do join his class. Highly recommended”

“My daughter did the summer holiday club to perform Moana in a week. Was the first time for her, she absolutely loved it! Teachers were really lovely, I was amazed what they achieved in a week.”

“Watched "The thinking drinkers - The Booz-ical", had a great time. Nice theatre, with reasonable bar for drinks before the show starts & during the interval.”
