Location

One of the several famous Shaftesbury Avenue theatres, the Palace Theatre is located at a junction between two major roads in the heart of the West End. With many excellent transport links nearby, the Central London theatre is a stone’s throw away from a variety of tourist attractions and amenities. From the boutiques of Covent Garden and Seven Dials to the buzz of Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, there’s something to appeal to everyone.
