St Martin's Theatre

St Martin's Theatre is a theatre building in the Seven Dials area that accommodates around 550 spectators across multiple levels. The auditorium features traditional English Georgian-style design in an intimate setting.

The building was designed by W. G. R. Sprague in 1916 as a paired theatre alongside the Ambassadors Theatre. It was constructed during a period of major theatre building in London.

The venue serves as a gathering place for theatre-goers who come to experience live performances in an intimate setting. It remains woven into London's theatrical culture and the social rhythm of the West End neighborhood.

The theatre is located near Covent Garden and Leicester Square Underground stations, making it easy to reach by public transport. The box office opens at 10 AM on days when performances are scheduled.

Since March 1974, the theatre has hosted a single production continuously, holding the world record for the longest unbroken run of any play. This production has become a remarkable achievement in theatrical history and draws visitors from around the globe.
