A Victorian theatre designed in 1881 by Thomas Verity, it hasn’t always made people laugh despite its name. The Lord Chancellor positively seethed when in the 1950s the theatre defied the censorship laws, called itself the New Watergate Theatre Club and staged banned plays like Arthur Miller’s A View From The Bridge.

Décor: Pleasantly bright, white airy foyer with predominately pink, intimate auditorium.

Capacity: 796
