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

Prince Edward Theatre

A theatre that spent forty years as a cabaret hall, a services club and a Cinerama screen before going back to being a theatre.

West EndPlayhousesWorth it for the building

Edward A. Stone opened it in April 1930 and converted it to a dance and cabaret hall five years later. In the war it was the Queensberry All Services Club; afterwards it went back to cabaret, and from 1954 it was one of London's Cinerama houses, running the curved-screen epics for twenty years. It returned to stage work in the late 1970s.

It seats 1,716 and is historically protected. Big musicals.
