| PHOENIX Charing Cross Road WC2 Designed in 1930 by Gilbert Scott, the
theatre was most associated with Noël Coward. It opened with Coward’s Private Lives
with the author, Gertrude Lawrence and Laurence Olivier in the cast.
Coward memorabilia is everywhere. The undistinguished exterior belies
magnificent art deco mirrored bars and foyers inside.
Décor: Small pre-foyer containing minuscule box offices for both theatre and cinema next door. The real foyer houses the Noël Coward bar. Wood panelling in the auditorium. Capacity 1,000
