Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top London theatre shows in 2025?

Prestige, star-driven plays in London are always popular, so don't wait to book for My Master Builder, starring Ewan McGregor, John Lithgow in Giant, Imelda Staunton in Mrs Warren's Profession and Doctor Who's Ncuti Gatwa in Born with Teeth. Meanwhile, cinema fans are going crazy for the Wicked movie, but nothing can beat the original, long-running stage show. Other crowd-pleasing West End musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables are great choices that continue to delight packed-out crowds every night - or you can try newer hits like Operation Mincemeat and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

This year sees lots of exciting new plays from top writers such as Nick Payne's (Constellations) The Unbelievers starring Nicola Walker, and Beth Steel's Till the Stars Come Down. If you enjoy showtunes, bombastic musicals including The Great Gatsby and Olivier Award winner Jamie Lloyd's revival of Evita are ones to watch over the summer. Avoid disappointment and book today; these are set to be some of the best London theatre shows of 2025, and tickets are sure to fly out of the door!

Finally, don't wait to see the return of a much-loved classic! Chichester Festival Theatre's Oliver! is now open in the West End. This new revival is a delight for fans, offering plenty of "Oom-Pah-Pah" as orphan Oliver Twist searches for belonging and family in Victorian London.

What are the showtimes for West End Theatres?

Most West End shows start at 7.30pm for their evening performances, while 2.30pm or 3pm are standard for London matinee shows. There are some exceptions to this, such as Matilda, which start evening performances at 7pm. Shows aimed specifically at young children may adhere to even earlier showtimes. Always check showtimes thoroughly when booking London theatre tickets and planning your visit.

Where in London is the West End?

The West End is located in the Western region of Central London; West of the City of London and East of Mayfair. Many West End theatres can be found along major thoroughfares such as the Strand, Shaftesbury Avenue and Charing Cross Road. Popular tourist areas such as Leicester Square and Covent Garden are part of the West End. Tube stations that are well located for West End theatres include Tottenham Court Road, Leicester Square and Covent Garden.

Why is the London theatre district called 'The West End'?

The theatre district is located in Central London, but just to the West of what is known as 'the City of London'; the commercial district surrounding tube stations such as Bank and Monument. In the early 19th Century, areas West of Charing Cross were highly fashionable and this is when the term 'the West End' became widely used. While the urban sprawl of London now extends much farther West than the theatre district, the majority of popular theatres are located in what was traditionally the Western end of the city, before it merged with the nearby city of Westminster to become the city recognisable today.
