Frequently asked questions

What are some recommended plays to see in London?

Some London plays to check out include Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and The Mousetrap. These plays have run in the West End for years, so you can go see why they continue to attract fans, and they're always a great go-to option. Alongside them, new play productions are always premiering all over London, but most run for a limited time only.

Where can I see a play in London?

You can see plays all over London. The West End is known for showing famous plays like The Mousetrap, but Off-West End venues in other neighborhoods regularly host world premieres of new plays, inventive revivals of classic works, Shakespeare plays, and star-studded shows. Some successful Off-West End plays will transfer to the West End.

What is the price range for play tickets in London?

Play tickets in London vary in price, though the average theatre ticket price is approximately £50. Seats further back in the theatre, seats at small Off-West End plays, and seats bought early tend to be lower cost, but if your trip to the theatre is a special occasion, you might opt for a more expensive ticket closer to the stage or for a particularly in-demand show. Seats at all price points, though, offer great views of the stage.
