Ambassadors Theatre, West End theatre in Westminster, England
The Ambassadors Theatre is a West End venue in Westminster with 444 seats arranged in a horseshoe layout. This seating configuration ensures clear sightlines to the stage from every position in the auditorium.
The theatre opened in 1913 presenting intimate revue performances that continued throughout the First World War era. It later became the venue for significant productions that drew audiences across generations.
The theatre has housed numerous productions over the decades, drawing audiences to experimental and classic works that shaped London's theatre scene. Its location amid other West End venues made it a hub within the neighbourhood's entertainment culture.
The theatre sits near Leicester Square station, making it accessible by public transport. It offers wheelchair spaces, an elevator, accessible restrooms, and an infrared hearing system for visitors.
The theatre housed Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap for more than two decades before the production moved to a neighbouring venue. This connection to one of the world's longest-running plays gives the house a distinctive place in British theatre history.
