CRITERION Piccadilly Circus W1 Charmingly
Victorian
theatre
–
the
first to be sited entirely underground. Designed
by Thomas Verity
in 1874, the stalls are two floors below street
level and shows are
occasionally interrupted by the rumble of Tube
trains. Arguably the
most beautiful theatre in London. Sir John Gielgud
made his first
appearance here.
Décor: All tile work throughout the theatre dates back to 1874. Has been refurbished to its original splendour of pink, cream and gold. Beautiful. Capacity: 590
