On the ground floor, the Stalls put you closest to the stage. Be aware the stage is set quite high; in rows A-C, you'll be looking up significantly, which can become uncomfortable during longer performances.

The rake here is relatively gentle, meaning shorter patrons might find their view partially obstructed by heads in front. Legroom is adequate but not generous, standard for a historic West End venue.

The Dress Circle overhang begins around Row H or J. From these rows back, the very top of the stage may be cut off, impacting productions with significant vertical staging.

You'll find generally clear sightlines as there are no central pillars, though side seats towards the front offer an angled view of the stage.

Often considered the sweet spot, the Dress Circle on the first floor provides excellent elevated views. You'll get a comprehensive and balanced perspective of the performance.

The good rake ensures clear sightlines over those in front. Legroom is adequate but not spacious, similar to the Stalls.

In Row A, a safety rail can cause a minor obstruction to the very bottom of the stage if you're shorter. While the Upper Circle overhang isn't an issue for most of this section, the very last row might feel a little enclosed due to the ceiling.

For the most affordable tickets, head to the Upper Circle, the highest tier on the second floor. You'll get a full, albeit distant, view of the stage.

The rake here is quite steep, which helps with clear sightlines over heads, but it does mean you'll feel very high up. Expect legroom to be more restricted than in the lower levels.

If you're in Row A, a safety rail can obstruct the view for shorter individuals. Due to the distance, intricate facial expressions and smaller details might be hard to discern without binoculars.
