Little Angel Theatre, Children puppet theatre in Islington, England.
Little Angel Theatre is a puppet theatre with 100 seats housed in a converted Temperance hall in Islington. The venue operates two performance spaces and presents regular shows and workshops designed for young audiences and families.
The theatre began in 1961 when John and Lyndie Wright opened it with their first puppet production. Over the decades, it grew into a respected venue for children's puppet theatre in London.
Performances at this theatre teach children how puppets come to life and why people have loved puppet stories for generations. The shows reveal the craftsmanship and imagination that goes into creating characters from wood, fabric, and paint.
The theatre is located on a quiet street in a residential area and is easy to reach on foot. Check the programme ahead of your visit, as shows rotate throughout the year and may vary by season.
The theatre has worked with puppeteers who have been part of well-known British children's television programmes. This behind-the-scenes connection brings professional puppet-making skills and techniques directly into the shows.

London offers far more than Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace. Away from the main attractions, numerous sites remain unfamiliar even to many locals. This selection includes the ruins of St Dunstan-in-the-East, where a medieval church has been transformed into a public garden, the Sir John Soane's Museum with its antiquities and architectural fragments, and Dennis Severs' House, a Georgian townhouse preserved as a lived-in time capsule. The collection features gardens such as Isabella Plantation in Richmond Park and Kyoto Garden in Holland Park, historic buildings like the 14th-century Charterhouse and St Bartholomew the Great, London's oldest parish church. It also covers unusual museums including the Old Operating Theatre, Europe's oldest surviving surgical theater, and industrial monuments like Crossness Pumping Station with its Victorian steam engines. Leadenhall Market displays Victorian architecture in the financial district, while God's Own Junkyard in Walthamstow exhibits thousands of neon signs. Other sites range from the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu temple in Neasden to Wilton's Music Hall, London's oldest music hall, and the Victorian dinosaur sculptures at Crystal Palace Park. Little Venice presents canals lined with houseboats, the Freud Museum preserves the psychoanalyst's London home, and Keats House commemorates the Romantic poet. These locations provide insights into history, architecture, and culture beyond the standard tourist circuit.
