Apollo Theatre

Designed by architect Lewin Sharp in 1901, this Grade II listed Shaftesbury Avenue landmark houses an 827-seat auditorium. Clear sightlines reach back into the rear circle, though legroom is noticeably tighter high up unless you secure an end-of-row seat. Higher, lower-priced seats come with slightly limited sightlines that require leaning forward to catch all the action. Despite its turn-of-the-century heritage, the venue features surprisingly spacious restrooms compared to typical West End houses.
