Seating
- StallsSolid ground-level views, but be mindful of the Dress Circle overhang in back rows.
- Dress CircleOften considered the best in the house for unobstructed, elevated views.
Stalls
The theatre's largest seating area is found on the ground floor. Its good rake generally ensures clear sightlines over heads, especially in central and front sections.
Legroom is typically average to good for a West End theatre. The Dress Circle overhang begins around Row M/N; from Row P onwards, this can slightly restrict your view of the very top of the stage, particularly for productions with significant vertical staging or projections.
Seats towards the ends of rows offer slightly angled views but are generally well-regarded. Access is via steps from the main foyer.
Dress Circle
Located on the first floor, the Dress Circle is often considered the premium seating area, offering excellent, largely unobstructed views of the stage. The effective rake provides clear sightlines and a good elevated perspective without feeling too far from the action.
Legroom is generally comfortable throughout this section. You'll get a comprehensive view of the entire stage, making it ideal for appreciating both the overall production design and detailed performances.
Access is available via stairs or a lift.
