Situated on Drury Lane, in the Covent Garden district of London, the New London Theatre is one of the top venues for theatrical performances in the city. The theatre was opened to the public in 1973, inside a building with a very rich history which had formerly been known as the Winter Garden Theatre. Featuring two levels and an overall capacity of 1040 individuals, the building was completely renovated in 1911. Some of the most noteworthy productions staged here are “Cats” and “War Horse”.
