Theatre Royal Drury Lane is the most recent of four theatres that have been built on the site in Covent Garden, dating back to 1663. This history makes it the oldest theatre site in London that is still in use. The theatre that stands today opened in 1812 and was designed by the architect Benjamin Dean Wyatt. The Grade I listed building was purchased by Andrew Lloyd Webber in 2000 and underwent a £60m renovation in 2019.
