Hackney Empire seating plan, West End, London

Looking to get the best out of your experience? Check out our Hackney Empire seating plan and get real-time seat availability, pricing, and insider tips on the best seats.

Value for money seats

Gallery (Unreserved): This is a raked and extremely elevated section featuring backless benches. It is placed at quite a distance from the stage and you may find these seats go for cheaper now and then.
Upper Circle (C-G): This section is a good vantage point from which to view larger productions, as it lets you see the entire stage. Opt for seats in the middle rows for a good balance between views and affordability.
Dress Circle (Boxes H & Q): This section wraps all the way around, with Boxes in the rear and on the sides. The two Boxes on the ends of either side are closest to the stage, and the front-row seats in these are a good choice for cheaper seats with decent views.
Stalls (G-M & AA-LL): This section is closest to the stage and will give you the best views and the most immersive experience. For more affordable seats, opt for seats toward the sides of the rows in the rear.

Best views of the stage

Stalls (D-G): Stalls seats are ideal for a premium experience. For a good balance between immersion and views that won't have you craning your neck, opt for seats slightly behind the front rows, closer to the Center.
Dress Circle (A-E): This section has some great views despite its distance from the stage. The elevation and rake allow you to see the stage clearly at all times. Opt for seats closer to the front for the best experience.
Upper Circle (A-B): The front row seats of this section are the best views from this vantage point. You'll get to see the stage clearly without any sightline obstructions.
Gallery (Unreserved): The rear elevated gallery isn't the best if you're after immersion, but if you want to see the entire stage without missing a beat at affordable rates, opt for Center spots toward the front.
