@sohoplace Theatre, opened in late 2022, is the first new West End theatre in 50 years, part of the Soho Place development. Owned by Nica Burns, it's a state-of-the-art, purpose-built venue designed by Haworth Tompkins. Its unique adaptable auditorium, often configured in-the-round, creates an intimate and immersive experience for audiences, making it a significant addition to London's theatre landscape.

Seating
- StallsClosest to the action, for those who embrace the immersive, shifting views.
- Dress CircleThe sweet spot: elevated, comprehensive views with comfortable sightlines.
- Upper CircleHighest tier, yet surprisingly close; ideal for the full stage picture, but mind the height.
Stalls
For the most immediate and immersive theatrical experience, take a seat in the Stalls. You're right up against the flexible stage, which might be configured in-the-round, thrust, or end-on, often with seating surrounding it on multiple sides.
The rake is steep, guaranteeing excellent sightlines over heads, even from the front rows. Legroom is generous by West End standards.
While your view of the stage is always unobstructed, be aware that in non-proscenium setups, you might see performers from the side or rear at various points – it's an intentional part of the intimate, immersive design, not a restricted view.
Dress Circle
Elevated on the first balcony, the Dress Circle offers a comprehensive perspective of the stage. Like the Stalls, it benefits from a steep rake, ensuring clear sightlines across the auditorium and over the rows below.
This level is particularly strong for appreciating the full scope of flexible staging (in-the-round, thrust), providing a balanced view that combines intimacy with a broader overview. Legroom is comfortable, and you'll find virtually no traditional restricted views, with all seats offering excellent, direct sightlines to the performance area.
Upper Circle
The Upper Circle is @sohoplace's highest seating tier. Despite its elevation, the theatre's compact design means these seats still feel remarkably close to the stage compared to typical West End venues.
The steep rake continues here, providing consistently clear and unobstructed views of the entire stage. This perspective is ideal for appreciating the overall stage design, lighting, and movement.
Legroom is generally good. While sightlines are excellent, if you're prone to vertigo, you might notice the height and steepness of the rake, though your views themselves are unimpeded.
