Charing Cross Theatre - Theatretickets-London

Located directly under Charing Cross Station, the Charing Cross Theatre is a dark, intimate mini-theatre that has proven to be a perfect launching pad for big West End transfers.

There has been a theatre situated at Charing Cross Station, under the arches since 1864. The venue has been known throughout the years by several different names (The Players Theatre, Gattis-in-The-Arches, and the New Players Theatre), and was rechristened the Charing Cross Theatre in January 2011, marking the change in ownership and the beginning of a new era.

The theatre's Music Hall tradition is still honoured with periodic Sunday performances, however, since 2002 the Charing Cross Theatre mainly operates as a legitimate commercial venue. The current theatre management is committed to presenting affordable, high-quality productions while maintaining a collaborative atmosphere where seasoned professionals can work with and nurture emerging talent.

Give it a try. Who knows – you might just be seeing the next big thing.

Theatre & Ticket Info

The Charing Cross Theatre is an intimate venue located off Villiers Street, under the arches beneath Charing Cross Railway Station. Most seating in the venue is on one level except for some bench seats in balconies above the stage. The Charing Cross Theatre has a capacity of 265 seats and has employed a traverse layout since 2019 with seating on both sides of the stage. A more traditional proscenium layout is also sometimes used at the venue depending on the production. Views of the stage from any seat in the Stalls are good due to the intimate nature of the theatre however some restrictions do exist from the balcony seats.

Seats in the Stalls are the best option, with the area around Row J being particularly good and offering the best overall view of the action. The high rake in the Stalls ensures that all seats in this section offer great views, and seats at the rear are preferred for a better overall experience, especially for larger productions.

The rear section of the Stalls can also offer better value and be cheaper than the rows at the front, offering an excellent overall view of the stage with rows K-M recommended for good views at a discounted price.
