The Oldest Theatre Site in London — Reimagined for Today

Theatre Royal Drury Lane is the oldest theatre site in continuous use in London, dating back to 1663. The current building, opened in 1812, has undergone extensive renovations by LW Theatres to create a modern, luxurious venue while preserving centuries of history. Known affectionately as “The Lane,” it has hosted everything from Shakespeare to My Fair Lady, and now houses the West End production of Disney’s Frozen.

A History Spanning Four Centuries

The theatre has burned down, been rebuilt, and reimagined multiple times since the 17th century. It was originally constructed under a royal patent granted by King Charles II. Famous past performances include appearances by Sarah Siddons, David Garrick, and Edmund Kean. The venue has also premiered key musicals like Miss Saigon and 42nd Street and once had Andrew Lloyd Webber as a tenant.

Modern Renovation

In 2021, the theatre completed a landmark restoration. It now features larger seats, more legroom, step-free access throughout, and enhanced acoustics. The redesign included the creation of the Lane’s own in-house restaurant, “The Garden,” and lounge areas inspired by the Regency period, offering a truly immersive pre-show experience.

Currently Showing: Frozen the Musical

The spectacular staging of Frozen is a major draw for families and fans of Disney’s animated classic. Featuring elaborate costumes, jaw-dropping sets, and beloved songs, the production continues to attract sold-out audiences.

Location and Accessibility

Positioned between Covent Garden and the Strand, the theatre is easy to reach via multiple transport links. It is fully accessible and offers a variety of ticket types, including premium and family packages.

A Historic Stage for the Future

Theatre Royal Drury Lane continues to define what a great West End venue should be: rooted in tradition, open to innovation, and welcoming to everyone. It’s a must-visit for anyone serious about London theatre.
