The Victoria Palace is built on the site of one of London's first music halls and is a vast, classical building. Opposite Victoria Station, the theatre has a large capacity and was plagued with a string of musical flops until the 2005 hit Billy Elliot. After that, the theatre closed for a multi-million pound refurbishment, opening in 2017 with the crowd puller Hamilton which continues to run to a packed out house.
Built in a traditional style across three levels, the auditorium can feel a little overwhelming due to the relatively small size of the stage. Each level is quite well-raked and curves around each balcony, giving different levels of visibility throughout. Prices vary accordingly and it is worth knowing how much you wish to spend against how close you wish to be.

Premium seats are towards the centre of the Stalls. In our opinion these are better than those in the Dress Circle. Mid Stalls seats offer a generally better view of the stage.

Wow! Front row seat was fantastic, restricted as the stage is high so can’t fully see action at the back but feeling so close to the drama and amazing choreography makes up for this as was my second time. Plenty of leg and bag room and prompt exit for... More
