Bridewell Theatre, Performance venue in Blackfriars, London, England
The Bridewell Theatre operates in a converted Victorian swimming pool building, featuring a glass lantern roof that allows natural light to fill the space.
The theatre opened in 1994 within the St Bride Foundation complex, which was established in 1891 as an educational center for printing and typography.
The venue hosts Lunchbox performances, where City workers bring their meals to enjoy 45-minute shows during their midday break.
Located near Blackfriars and St Paul's tube stations, the theatre maintains a capacity of 134 seats with flexible configurations for different types of performances.
The original Victorian swimming pool tiles remain visible beneath the current seating area, preserving a physical connection to the building's previous function.
