Watch internationally acclaimed musicals, attend live music performances and learn about the rich history of this Grade II-listed West End theater.

London Palladium Theatre is one of the most famous theatres in London’s West End. Built in the early 20th century, the theater has retained many of its original features. See a production in this storied venue, which has welcomed such prominent stars as Judy Garland, Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald to its stage.

The theater was first built in 1910 and regularly hosted the celebrated Royal Variety Performance as well as lavish annual pantomimes. During the 1950s and 1970s, the ultra-popular U.K. television variety show Sunday Night at the London Palladium was broadcast from here. Buy tickets for a show to gain access to the auditorium.

Admire the plush red velvet seats, ornate plaster detailing and rose marble finishes of the large venue, which has more than 2,200 seats. Note how the lack of pillars ensures that every audience member enjoys unobstructed views of the stage. The theater did once have its own revolving stage, though this was later removed in 2002.

Today, the theater has moved away from its variety venue heritage and tends to show musical theater and live music performances instead. Check the website to discover what is being staged here during your trip. Enjoy a pre- or post-show drink in one of the theater’s two lavishly decorated bars.

This theater is near many other famous West End theaters, including the Prince Edward Theatre and the Cambridge Theatre. Walk from here to the Apollo Theater, an Edwardian-style playhouse with a program of modern dramas and classic plays. Find many traditional English pubs and award-winning restaurants for a pre-theater meal just a short stroll away.

The London Palladium Theatre is in the City of Westminster in central London. To get here, ride the Tube to Oxford Circus station. Choose from many luxurious five-star hotels and less expensive self-catered apartments nearby.
