12 Schromberg House - Vincent Street - SW1P 4BL
The National Theatre
Tucked right along the Southbank, the National Theatre is one of London’s top spots for live performance — and not just the fancy Shakespeare kind! From powerful dramas to laugh-out-loud comedies and modern reimaginings of classics, the shows here are always top-notch. Even if you’re not a big “theatre person,” catching a play here is an experience in itself.
The building has that bold, modern look — very different from the old theatres in the West End — but don’t let that fool you. Inside, it's warm, buzzing with energy, and full of passionate theatre lovers. They’ve got three different stages, which means there’s always something new on. And the best part? They offer affordable tickets for many shows, so you don’t have to break the bank to see something amazing.
Even if you’re not seeing a show, the National Theatre is a great place to visit. There’s a lovely riverside café and terrace, perfect for a coffee or glass of wine with a view of the Thames. It's a great spot to take a break during your Southbank stroll, soak up some culture, and maybe even decide to be spontaneous and catch a play!
