Charing Cross TheatreWith just 275 seats, the Charing Cross Theatre is one of the smallest in the West End. Tucked away under the arches beneath Charing Cross station, this Off-Broadway style theatre, which was rebuilt in 1989, is renowned for its intimate productions and cosy auditorium and is fast becoming a favourite amongst seasoned theatre-goers. The theatre space is one of the few in the West End licensed to serve alcohol, boasting a built-in Victorian bar within the auditorium. There is also restaurant owned and operated by The Pure Group, whilst the whole venue can be hired out for screenings, conferences of corporate hire. A new weekly comedy event - The New Players Comedy Sundae - kicks off with its inaugural show on Sunday 8 February.
