Victoria Palace Theatre

The Victoria Palace Theatre is a West End theatre on Victoria Street in the City of Westminster, London, originally opened in 1911. It is a major commercial theatre that stages large-scale musicals and plays.

Audiences attend for full-scale musical productions and commercial West End shows staged in the theatre’s main auditorium. The location opposite Victoria Station makes it a common choice for theatregoers arriving by rail and coach.

The present theatre dates from 1911, replacing an earlier variety theatre on the site, and has hosted a succession of musicals, revues and large-scale entertainment through the 20th and 21st centuries. It remains an active venue in London’s commercial theatre district.

Sited on Victoria Street in central London, the theatre sits immediately adjacent to Victoria Station and the transport interchange for national rail and London Underground services.

Opening and location: Opened in 1911 and located on Victoria Street directly opposite Victoria Station, making it one of the West End's major commercial theatres.
Notable productions: Has hosted large-scale musical productions in recent years, including the West End run of "Hamilton" which began at the theatre in 2017.
Transport: Street-level access from Victoria Station provides the most convenient public-transport connections for audiences.
