Classical plays in London

“Very inspiring atmosphere, impressive connection speed, and plenty of seating. The entrance is free (bag search). Gets a bit busy about 30 min before the performance (currently Inter Alia with Rosamund Pike). The building is a notable example of post-WWII Brutality architecture. While its radical minimalism and anti-aesthetics is not for everyone, it was fitting well the post-WWII resources deprivation and priorities re-evaluation (i.e. the shift from pompous public projects to NHS and other projects that prioritize human lives). Creative night lighting, both inside and outside, adds an extra visual appeal while preserving the core concepts of the style.”

“Fabulous experience watching the matinée performance of Les Mis. We were sat in the Boublil loge, with moveable seats and a plush rail you could lean on. Some parts were missed but it was not a detriment to the truly outstanding performance. Pre-show we visited the Queen’s Bar and received excellent service from Alfie, thank you!”

“This is a community theatre that often has really good plays that others don't. The casts are excellent but sometimes the 'set' steals the spotlight, they are really good. If you want a night out and still get a cup of tea and a biscuit, or a pint of beer, plus entertainment it all at the Abbey Theatre.”

“Great local theatre. Intimate, and totally engaging. Very good production of play "Electric Rosary." Great direction. Intelligent set. Good acting. Sustained attention throughout. Good drama to explore issues of faith, AI and the future. Good well priced bar. Friendly people. Affordable prices. Eady parking. What's not to like. Well done all.”

“My dog Reuben loves going to Vava’s for his groom and teeth clean. The salon is lovely and we are always warmly welcomed. They treat Reuben very gently and professionally. I would happily recommend both the grooming and day care.”

“We had the privilege of seeing the two-part performance of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Palace Theater. And what an experience it was! A beautiful theater dating back to 1891, which still retains the charm of that era today. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the actors who performed the play are world class! I recommend everyone to see a play when visiting London! An absolute must.”

“Absolutely amazing pub. Great decor, lovely facilities and the staff and locals are great. Plenty of seating options available and a great place to watch sport. Will be back, especially at under £5 for a pint of guiness.”

“My first time seeing Wicked - had an excellent time. The casting was very good and stage setup was impressive, loved the puppet dragon too. The theatre was well-kept and spacious - the green lighting is also a nice touch and suits the show. Seats were comfortable and even in row L we had a good view of the stage and ample legroom.”

“Really lovely little theatre, seating is quite tight but good views of the stage. We saw 'The Play That Goes Wrong' and it was very funny. £4 for a water was a bit steep though!”

“The 5 stars are actually for the performance I saw, Sing Street currently showing at the Lyric. If you want to see one of the best musicals it's a must. All the performers in it are fantastically talented and I was totally captivated. The theatre itself is an old theatre within a new building, thankfully it has air con!”

“Performed in a dance show here five days ago. The stage is pretty spacious and the dressing room is comfortable. Really good sound insulation when I'm in the theatre and the seats in the auditorium are comfortable. Would definitely recommend watching shows here. I've heard theres a Kpop show this weekend and I can't wait to see it.”

“A great evening watching Joe Pasquale and Brian Conley. The seats in the upper circle are very steeply banked, so beware if you're not good with heights. The seats are also small and a snug fit so not much legroom or either side of you. Great venue though and polite staff!”

“Saw Othello there it was a great show the acting was brilliant. The Theatre Royal is a lovely old theatre the staff are friendly and caring.”

“A Modern Gem of a Theatre The Bridge Theatre is a bit out of the way from the Tube, but don't let that stop you. The walk along the river, with views of the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, is one of the best strolls in London. It's almost worth going just for that! We saw "Guys and Dolls" here - fantastic show, though heads up, it's a long one at nearly 3 hours. We opted for seats rather than the standing "immersive" experience, and I'm glad we did. The seats are super comfy, and I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed running around the rising platforms for that long. But hey, if you're up for an adventure, go for it! The theatre itself is sleek and modern - a refreshing change from some of the older West End venues. The sound and staging were top-notch, and (in my opinion) there wasn't a bad seat in the house. My tips: - Guys and Dolls - Book seats if you want comfort, standing if you're feeling adventurous and allow plenty of time - shows can be long. - Enjoy the walk there - it's part of the experience (so get there early and there are plenty of places to eat and drink before the show). - Check out the bar before the show - great atmosphere I'm already looking forward to catching more shows here. It's not just a theatre, it's a whole evening out in one of London's coolest spots. Definitely worth a visit, even if you're not a regular theatre-goer.”

“Loved this theater! And The Choir of Man is a must see! Great actors and musicians. Unforgettable!”

“Wonderful atmosphere, seats are great. I had no problem seeing the stage. The Importance of Being Earnest was a triumph. I laughed so much , an absolute delight. Thank you all especially the kind lady who sold me two tubs of ice cream yum!”

“The ambiance of Pickwick is warm and inviting, with cozy seating areas and the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee filling the air. It felt like a sanctuary—a place where I could escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world and indulge in a moment of tranquility. Now, let’s talk about the coffee. Each cup served at Pickwick is a masterpiece in its own right. From the rich and robust espresso to the smooth and creamy lattes, every sip was a symphony of flavors that danced on my palate. The baristas are true artisans, and their passion for coffee shines through in every cup they craft.”

“Amazing show - everything including venue 10 out of 10”

“I was pleasantly surprised at how well the children performed at CYTO. A huge credit to the theatre and the organisers.”

“Although only meant to be a temporary venue whilst the original is being updated, the sound quality is excellent. Drinks not ridiculously priced and can buy snacks. Good seating arrangement”

“I went to Yvonne Arnaud Theatre to see the show Murder At Midnight starring Max Bowden from EastEnders and I had a wonderful time, it was an incredible experience to see Max and the rest of the cast perform live as it has always been my dream to see Max perform as I have been a fan of his for many years now so it was a special experience for me. We had front row seats which made the experience even more special too. Yvonne Arnaud is a wonderful little venue with great seating for shows and the cafe is lovely too, with delicious food and drinks and beautiful views across the river. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. Thank you Yvonne Arnaud for a wonderful show and for making my dreams come true with watching Max Bowden perform live, I send my gratitude to Max and the rest of the cast of Murder At Midnight for a fantastic show that I will remember forever!”

“Liv and Sophie are just the most amazing and uplifting girls ever. I walked in and they just looked after me completely. Within minutes of chatting Liv got to know my style and pulled out the most amazing dresses for me and helped me find the perfect size too! I left with 2 of the most amazing dresses and 2 broches. Both girls made me feel so welcome and comfortable just the most fabulous experience and I can't wait to go back! X thank you so much”

“Very clean store and bright, few customers and staff around. Very friendly staff and asked if could help with sizes. Staff known to be BEAU was very helpful.”

“Sunday night karaoke is excellent (providing you're drunk and/or do not take lodge seriously). And I really don't like karaoke. What more can you ask for?”

“The theatre is located in the Victoria Centre, a very large department store complex with many shops. The theatre has two bars (also serving coffee) and clean toilets. There are no bad seats; you have a good view of the stage from everywhere. We saw the Kinks musical ‘Sunny Afternoon’. It was excellent.”

“Had a realty good time visiting the the stag plaza. Car park was easy to find and they have a different mobile payment company compared to the well known one. You get in, either buy tickets or go straight up where there is a bar to relax before you watching be play. I Enjoyed watching the watching the pinto, first time experience and end crew where really lovely. Entertaining, engaging snd interesting well with customers. Seats a bit tight but performance made up for it. Drinks and a small selection of snacks are reasonably priced. I highly recommend visiting for stag and seeing anyone of there live shows.”

“I had a fantastic experience at Arket on Regent Street. The coffee was absolutely delightful—rich, smooth, and perfectly made. The pastries were equally impressive—fresh, flaky, and delicious, the perfect treat to accompany my coffee. A special mention goes to Flavien, who provided exceptional service. He was welcoming, attentive, and ensured everything was perfect. His warm and professional demeanor made the visit even more enjoyable.”

“One of children's favourite indoor playgrounds. There are also an outdoor playground, and a football pitch. There are 5 party rooms with different theme/interior design. There's a cafe there. If you book a party for 2 hours, the kids will play for 1.5 hours, and then the last 30 minutes they'll gather in the party room to eat, and blow the candle. If you come by public transportation, it's better to stop at Brent Lea Bus Stop, not Syon Park Bus Stop. The direction from the google maps wasn't accurate so we had to ask some people where the place it. Toilets for customers are available.”

“Really great to work with and a really nice theatre space. Great for new work”

“Visited the Dugdale Centre many times for many events. It’s a place with a theatre and a variety of shows happening. I have attended many arts and crafts workshops and community meetings. They have an amazing cafe with delicious food and the Ice Cream stall is definitely worth a visit. An added bonus is live music at lunch time absolutely free. The shop has quite a variety of knick knacks for all ages. Great place to meet friends for a cup of tea with delicious slice of cake. Very friendly and helpful staff. Close to the rail station, bus stops and shopping.”
