West End Theatre Guide
Piccadilly Theatre
A handsome Art Deco theatre just off Piccadilly, with a broad auditorium and a strong sense of interwar West End glamour.
The Piccadilly Theatre sits close to Piccadilly Circus and has a distinctly twentieth-century theatrical personality. Its Art Deco design and generous scale make it feel slightly different from the district’s older houses, while still offering the glamour and centrality visitors expect from a West End night out.
What’s On at Piccadilly Theatre
History
The Piccadilly is one of the West End’s finest Art Deco theatres, bringing 1920s glamour to the heart of Soho.
Opened in 1928, the Piccadilly Theatre reflects the optimism and style of late-1920s entertainment architecture. Its Art Deco detailing sets it apart from the Victorian and Edwardian houses nearby, giving it a more streamlined but still richly atmospheric identity. Over the decades it has hosted major productions and visiting stars, and its broad auditorium makes it especially effective for productions with scale and visual ambition.
Getting Here
Piccadilly Circus is the obvious Tube choice and is only moments away. The theatre is surrounded by Soho, making it one of the easiest venues for food, drinks and post-show wandering.
Grand Circle Tips
This is a theatre that suits visitors who enjoy the glamour of the interwar West End. Its location makes spontaneity easy, but you will still benefit from arriving early because the area is often busy.
