The St Martin's Theatre was built as a pair with the Ambassadors Theatre, both opening in 1916. Tucked away in the Seven Dials, the intimate venue has been home to many small-scale productions, before hosting the world's longest-running play The Mousetrap, where it has continued to play into its 60th year. The small, intricate space is perfect for Agatha Christie's thriller, which has been entertaining audiences for over half a century.
The auditorium is smaller than most West End venues, and is split across three levels. Views of the stage are particularly good from most areas, although safety rails and overhangs can cause restriction. The seats are not the most comfortable, so aisle seats are recommended if you require additional leg room.
Sit in the Upper Circle for some great views at a discounted price. Views are unobstructed, especially in the back row, and chances are you will be allowed to move down into the more expensive seats just before the show starts. Even if you are not so lucky, these seats are good value for money as the theatre is small enough to enjoy the play without obstruction.
The best seats in the house are located towards the front of the Dress Circle. The section feels relatively low, and so views from this level are almost direct with the stage. Aim to sit in the central section, perhaps two rows from the front.
The view from this seat was amazing, especially for the price, however the legroom was just awful! We were lucky there was nobody sitting next to us so we could stretch our legs sideways.. otherwise it would have been terrible.... More

The seat was pretty uncomfortable - my backside was not happy by the end of the show. But, it is on the aisle so you can stretch your legs out to the middle. Also, I had no one sat in the seats in front, so the view was better than it would be otherw... More

Brilliant legroom, near the front however stage not too high, only miss what goes on behind couch which is nothing key to the storyline as most action takes place in front of any furniture, good view of the rest of the stage.... More
