London - the home of the best theatre in the world!
There's good reason that London is considered by
many to be the home of the best theatre in the world. With
shows as powerful, successful and varied as Chicago, The Mousetrap,
Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Grease and Phantom of the Opera,
there's a great show for everyone.
Our classification of the best London Theatre is based on critics
reviews, box office success, public feedback and of course our own
theatre experiences. This is the very best London theatre!

London's West End Theatre District
West End theatre is a popular term for mainstream
professional theatre staged in the large theatres of London's 'Theatreland,'
the West End. Along with New York's Broadway theatre, West End theatre
is usually considered to represent the best commercial
theatre in the English speaking world. Total attendances first surpassed 12
million in 2002 and 13 million in 2007, setting a new record for the
West End. Since the late 1990s there has been an increase in the number
of famous screen actors on the London stage, and some of the world's
best actors and actresses have learned their trade in London theatres,
including Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Ian McKellen, Laurence Olivier and
John Gielgud.
The best London theatres are located in the heart of the West End of
Central London, between The Strand to the south, Oxford Street to the
north, Regent Street to the west, and Kingsway to the east. Prominent
theatre streets include Drury Lane, Shaftesbury Avenue, and The Strand.
The best London theatre shows are all available on this website.
