Charing Cross Theatre
Charing Cross / Embankment · Central London
Charing Cross Theatre is tucked beneath the railway station’s arches, reached from Villiers Street and Craven Passage. A former Victorian music hall, it now presents a mix of drama, musicals, comedy and cabaret, with the Players Bar and Kitchen alongside the performance space. The unusual setting offers a smaller-scale alternative to the major West End houses nearby. Check the current production’s layout and choose Balcony One if arranging step-free seating through the box office.
