List of London venues

The majority of London's commercial "theatre land" is situated around Shaftesbury Avenue, the Strand and nearby streets in the West End.

The following list also includes the major non-commercial theatres in London, many of which are to be found beyond the West End.

The List of Former theatres in London covers the period from the reopening of the playhouses after the English Restoration through to the 21st century.

The Arcola Theatre also hosts a contemporary fringe opera festival called 'Grimeborn'.

The more permanent ones are listed, but there is also a group of clubs in the Shoreditch and Hoxton areas.
