The Lyric theatre on Shaftesbury avenue was constructed in 1888 and still maintains many of its original architectural features- including an electric pump used to operate its iron curtain!
The oldest theatre in the street and now a listed building, is also has an intimate feel inside with a seating capacity of over 900 seats distributed across four levels.
The Theatre is a great choice for family excursions, often putting on light comedies, musicals, traditional dramas and childrens' plays. There is also a VIP room (25 seated or 35 standing) perfect for small private functions.
