Playhouse Theatre in London
Originally the Avenue Theatre, the Playhouse Theatre in London opened in 1882. The building's French renaissance style was designed by Fowler and Hill and paid for by Sefton Perry. The building is highly decorative with an elevation of Portland stone and detailed ornamental carvings and statues outside. The interior is covered in rich ivory and gold. The Playhouse Theatre in London is set in a marvellous location overlooking the River Thames.
The Playhouse Theatre in London is one of the most popular London theatres amongst the acting community because of its intimate atmosphere. The audience feels like part of the performance as the actors can almost touch them.
In 1905, the London Playhouse Theatre was damaged as Charing Cross Station fell on top of it! However, the interior was carefully reconstructed to its former glory.
BBC radio was resident in the London Playhouse Theatre for 25 years but now the playhouse has returned to doing what it does best: Entertaining you with excellent performances.
