Charing Cross Music Hall, Underground theatre venue beneath Charing Cross Station, London, England
The Charing Cross Theatre is a performance space housed within railway arches below a major station with roughly 275 seats for audiences. The space spans two levels, with a bar on the lower level adjacent to the box office.
The establishment was founded in the 1860s as an entertainment venue and replaced an older event hall on the site. Over time, it changed names multiple times while maintaining its role as a performance space within the station arches.
The venue keeps alive the tradition of London's entertainment history through performances that shift between classical works and contemporary productions. Visitors experience a slice of an era that remains vibrant beneath the railway tracks.
The entrance sits just steps away from a major station and is straightforward to reach. There is wheelchair accessibility, space for guide dogs, and a bar where you can refresh yourself before or after a show.
A well-known writer visited this place during his younger years and drew inspiration from the performances for his own works. The connection to this literary figure remains part of the venue's story.
