Royal National Theatre

South Bank Centre, SE1
Nearest Tube: Waterloo
Theatres, London, 2K
Part of the South Bank Arts Centre, this large theatre complex is made up of three separate venues:

  • The Olivier seats over 1000, and hosts the big shows.
  • The Lyttelton seats around 800, and is the venue for small theatre groups and experimental performances.
  • The Cottesloe seats around 400, and is where the more cutting-edge shows tend to be performed.
With these three theatres to choose from, there should be something for everyone. And collectively they have ensured that the Royal National Theatre regularly receives excellent reviews and is acclaimed as one of the most innovative theatre venues in London.

The central box office is open daily, except for Sundays, from 10am-8pm. Ticket prices vary according to theatre and what is showing so check in advance.
