Performance venues

London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance

Harold Pinter Theatre

Thomas Verity's 1881 house off the Haymarket, renamed in 2011 for the playwright whose work it kept staging.

West EndPlayhousesWorth it for the building

Verity opened it in October 1881 and it held 1,186 then; widening the seats over a century has brought it down to 796. It is historically protected.

It took Pinter's name in 2011, two years after his death, which is unusually direct for the West End - most renamings honour a manager or a backer. Plays rather than musicals, and often the difficult ones.
