Description
Drury Lane connects Aldwych with High Holborn and forms part of the boundary between two London boroughs. Shops and restaurants line the street between theater buildings and multistory facades.
History
A mansion from the 16th century once stood here and gave the street its name. The theater building at this address was rebuilt following a fire in the early 19th century.
Culture
The theater on this street stages large musicals and visitors gather in the evenings for performances. People meet near the entrance and in nearby cafés when shows are scheduled.
Practical
Two underground stations nearby provide access to the street and allow exploration of the area on foot. Evenings can become busier when theater audiences arrive.
