Fortune Theatre, Theatre in City of Westminster, United Kingdom.
The Fortune Theatre is a Grade II listed theatre building in the City of Westminster in London. The auditorium seats 432 spectators across three levels, featuring a foyer clad in grey and red marble and a distinctive copper ticket booth at its entrance.
The building was designed by architect Ernest Schaufelberg and opened in 1924, replacing the former Albion Tavern that had been frequented by Georgian-era actors. Its construction marked the beginning of a new chapter for the site and it quickly established itself as a key venue in London's theatre district.
The theatre has remained a central gathering place for London's theatre community since opening its doors. Performers and audiences continue to use the space as part of the vibrant theatrical culture that defines the West End district.
The theatre is located in the West End and is easily accessible by various forms of transport. Visitors with mobility needs will find adapted facilities inside, and performances run throughout the year.
The building was the first in London to display bush hammered concrete on its exterior facade, supported by brick piers. This innovative construction method was striking for its time and gave the theatre a distinctive architectural character.
