The Theatre Royal Drury Lane is one of London’s oldest and most majestic West End theatres. Recently refurbished by its owner, Andrew Lloyd Webber, the sumptuous foyer and bars, and magnificent auditorium, are well worth a guided tour.
The theatre is steeped in fascinating history – surviving multiple fires, bankruptcy and even murder!
This magical journey through West End theatrical history includes learning about the birthplace of the musical, modern pantomime, moving scenery, regular rehearsals and naturalistic acting.
Guided tours are in English and last approximately 1 hour. See booking calendar for times.
