History
Wyndham’s is one of the West End’s most elegant dramatic theatres, offering centrality, beauty and real theatrical intimacy.
Opened in 1899, Wyndham’s Theatre belongs to the cusp between the Victorian and Edwardian eras and has long been admired for the elegance of its auditorium. It has developed a reputation as one of the best central London theatres for drama, thanks to a room that is neither too large nor too slight and that carries a strong sense of refinement. Over the years it has welcomed many distinguished productions and performers, strengthening its standing as a prestige West End playhouse.
Getting Here
Leicester Square is the nearest Tube and makes the theatre especially easy to reach. Charing Cross and Covent Garden are also realistic depending on your route and dinner plans. The surrounding streets offer a classic Theatreland mix of restaurants and bars.
