London Theater Seating Plan Guide

London Theatre district, commonly referred to as Theatreland or West End, attracts tourists and locals alike with its generous offering of no less than 40 theatres and fabulous shows. The London theatre district, defined by The Strand to the South, Oxford Street to the North, Regent Street to the west, and Kingsway to the East, is exemplary of a typical London street — neon signs, brightly reflected in the small puddles on the street, flashy billboards announcing the shows’ name and time, and gourmet restaurants to serve the hurrying theatre-goers. If you are planning to catch a London theatre show, our London Theatre Seating Guide will tell you everything you must know before choosing the perfect seat.

Which London Theatre Seats Offer The Best View?

In a majority of the theatres, the Stalls and Dress Circle sections are considered to have the best seats. In Stalls, rows 6-8 provide the best view. However, every theatre is different and the number of rows may vary slightly. This would not make a huge difference but it is advisable you check the theatre seating plan before booking your tickets. Let’s look at the seating sections that fit the criteria below:

• Value For Money Section - This is the section where you can find seats that are great value for money. The ones that fall into this category are the late-middle rows in the Stalls, the middle rows in the Mezzanine, and the first couple of rows in the balcony.
  
• Best Legroom Seats - Legroom is a recurring issue and this lack of space could be a painful experience. Stalls provide excellent legroom in London Theatres. Also, aisle seats and front-row seats in any section are good choices.
  
• Best Views of The Stage - Although this depends on a number of factors such as the kind of show, whether it is a play or musical, and the theatre itself, generally, the middle-row seats in the Stalls and the front Mezzanine seats offer the best views of the stage.
  
• Premium Seats - These seats can be found exclusively when booking tickets. This is because premium seats vary from theatre to theatre as the theatre chooses which seats to be marked premium. They offer the best views and are the most expensive.
