Situated on St. Martin’s Lane, in the very heart of London, the London Coliseum is one of the most sumptuous and impressive performance venues in the city. Opened to the public in 1904, this fascinating opera house features a buoyant Baroque architecture, the work of Frank Matcham. Rebuilt between 2000 and 2004, the London Coliseum has a total seating capacity of 2558 people. Before being converted into an opera house, the building was used for variety shows, musicals, plays and film screenings.
