Peacock Theatre

The Peacock Theatre is a theatre building in Westminster with an auditorium seating about 1,000 people in comfortable positions with clear sightlines from all areas. The space is straightforward and functional, accessible from Portugal Street, and equipped to accommodate different types of performances.

Architect Bertie Crewe designed this building in the early 1900s as a theatre space using the architectural standards of that era. It has remained a venue for performances for over a century.

The venue hosts international dance companies, musicals, and theatrical productions throughout the year in central London. It draws both established and emerging artists who present their work to audiences in this active performance space.

Bus services stop near the building, and two Underground stations, Holborn and Temple, are within walking distance with easy access to the theatre. The venue has a straightforward entrance and provides cloakroom service for small items during performances.

The theatre has a long history of hosting dance performances and became a centre for modern dance art in London. This specialization in dance set it apart from other theatre venues in the city.
