Ticket Booth to reopen in London’s Leicester Square

The Society of London Theatre has announced that its Official London Theatre Ticket Booth will reopen in Leicester Square following a major refurbishment.

A launch event will take place tomorrow, Wednesday 18 June 2025 at 1pm, featuring costumed stars from 25 West End shows who will gather for a photocall and ribbon cutting to celebrate the reopening.

Westminster City Council provided funding for the refurbishment of the booth, which is owned by non-profit trade association the Society of London Theatre.

The booth first opened in 1980, and moved into its current clock tower building in 1992.

The booth is open on Monday to Saturday from 10.30am until 6pm, and Sunday from 12pm until 4.30pm.

The Society of London Theatre and Westminster City Council also partner on West End Live, which takes place this weekend, Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 June 2025, in Trafalgar Square. Read more about shows participating in this year’s event, and the full West End Live timetable.

Cllr Ryan Jude, Cabinet Member for Climate, Ecology and Culture at Westminster City Council, said: “The reopening of the Official London Theatre Ticket Booth in Leicester Square is fantastic news for theatre lovers, making it easier than ever to access the magic of the West End. Last year, 17.1 million theatregoers attended 18,500 performances in the West End, which highlights how critical culture is to driving tourism, supporting jobs and powering the wider economy of Westminster and the UK. Partially funded through the council’s Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy, this investment enhances the visitor experience and reflects our ongoing commitment to making arts and culture more accessible and inclusive for everyone in Westminster.”

Emma De Souza, Executive Director (Audiences & Commercial) at Society of London Theatre & UK Theatre, said: “For 45 years, the Society of London Theatre has proudly operated an in-person ticket booth in Leicester Square. Thanks to the support of Westminster City Council and our Board, we’ve been able to reimagine the space as a vibrant hub for theatre in the heart of London – a place to celebrate all that’s brilliant about the West End.”
