Noël Coward Theatre, West End theatre in St Martin's Lane, London, United Kingdom.
Noël Coward Theatre is a Grade II listed theatre building in the City of Westminster, London. The auditorium contains four tiers of seating with a total of 942 places, combining a classical exterior with a French Rococo interior.
Architect W. G. R. Sprague designed this building, which opened in 1903 under the name New Theatre. The renaming in honour of the playwright took place more than a century later.
The venue bears the name of an English playwright whose works often appear on this stage. Visitors experience a mix of classic productions and contemporary performances that draw audiences from across London and beyond.
The box office at St Martin's Lane WC2N 4AU opens two and a half hours before show time and closes fifteen minutes after the start. The venue sits in the theatre district and is within easy walking distance from Leicester Square.
During the Second World War, the stage served as a temporary home for the Old Vic Company after their own building suffered war damage. This arrangement allowed one of England's key theatre companies to continue performing during difficult times.
