London is world-renowned for being a hotbed of theatrical talent. With fantastic theatres dotted all over London and concentrated in the West End or "Theatreland", the people of London are spoilt for choice when it comes to performance. From spacious, purpose-built venues on the river bank to intimate, period properties down old cobbled streets; London has a huge variety of theatre styles and settings.
