King's Head Theatre
Established in 1970 as London’s first pub theatre, our history is rich and embedded in the discovery of new talent and pushing the boundaries of what theatre could be. We’re proud of this history, and of our fringe roots, and champion this still today. Renowned actors like Maureen Lipman, Hugh Grant, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Alan Rickman & Richard E Grant have all performed here early in their careers alongside writers such as Steven Berkoff, Tom Stoppard, Bryony Lavery & Victoria Wood. Our commitment now is to continue discovering the next generation of the UK’s greatest talent.
We believe that the joy of live performances should be accessible to all, and we're committed to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy entertainment in a comfortable, inclusive, and welcoming environment.
