Charles Wyndham was an actor and impresario who harboured a dream of running a theatre. This desire came to life in 1899 with the opening of the Wyndham's Theatre at Charing Cross, London. Wyndham's Theatre is listed as a Grade 2 West End theatre, and to date retains its original Louis XVI-themed decor. The theatre is now owned by the Delfont Macintosh Theatres and is a must-visit for performance lovers even today.

  • The theatre has four levels - the Auditorium, Balcony, Royal Circle and Grand Circle, which can seat a maximum of 799 patrons.
  • The Grand Circle and Balcony have extremely steep seats and are the furthest from the stage, which undoubtedly provides undeterred views because of their height.
  • Rows B-F of the Royal Circle are the most premium seats in the theatre.
  • If you happen to get Stall seats, ensure they are at least three rows behind, as the Wyndham's stage is quite high.
