The Gillian Lynne Theatre is one of the newest West End theatres to be built, opening in 1973. However, the site has been used as a place of entertainment since Elizabethan times, with various music halls, rowdy taverns and glee clubs formerly occupying the space. In 2018, the theatre was renamed to honour the renowned choreographer Gillian Lynne, making it the first West End theatre to be named after a non-royal woman.
