Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between West End and fringe theatre?

West End theatres are the large commercial playhouses in central London. Fringe and off-West End venues are smaller, often above pubs or in converted spaces, and tend to stage new writing and more experimental work.

How do I get to the National Theatre?

The National Theatre is on the South Bank, a short walk from Waterloo station. From the north bank, you can cross the Thames on foot from Embankment over the Golden Jubilee Bridges.

Do London theatres have restricted view seats?

Yes, many older theatres have pillars, overhangs or steep upper circles that block part of the stage from some seats. Reviews on MyCritik mention the view, which helps you know what to expect.
