The Grade II listed Trafalgar Theatre in London’s West End, formerly known as Trafalgar Studios, is the result of a major multi-million pound restoration project. Reinstating the venue back to its original design to show off its spectacular auditorium once again, the theatre boasts brand new seating, bar and spacious foyer.

The Trafalgar Theatre opened in 1930 as the Whitehall Theatre and has retained its recognisable Art Deco style exterior ever since. In 1997 it became a television and radio studio, broadcasting BBC Radio 4 shows. Now a thriving theatre once again, it’s home to the hit West End show, People, Places and Things.
