Coronet Theatre, London, Performance venue in Notting Hill, London, England
The Coronet Theatre is a performance venue in Notting Hill that occupies a grand Victorian building from 1898, preserving a traditional proscenium arch stage and numerous original architectural features. The building houses multiple performance spaces, including a main auditorium with 195 seats and a smaller studio space for intimate productions.
The building opened during the late Victorian period and operated as a cinema starting in 1923, before returning to its theatre purpose in 2014. This transformation back to live performance marked a major change in how the space served the community.
Since its reopening, the venue has become a gathering place for international theatre productions, dance performances, and experimental art exhibitions that shape the creative life of the neighborhood. Audiences here encounter diverse artistic expressions and emerging talent throughout the year.
The venue is well-connected by public transport and easily accessible from street level, making it a straightforward destination to reach. Plan to arrive a bit early to explore the surrounding streets of Notting Hill before or after your visit.
The stage here helped launch the careers of legendary actresses Ellen Terry and Sarah Bernhardt long before the building appeared in the 1999 film Notting Hill. This connection between theatre history and cinema shows how the space has remained relevant across different eras of performance.
