The Prince of Wales Theatre in London has a history spanning several centuries. It was built in 1884 with funds from the famous London actor Edgar Bruce, according to the design of the prominent architect of that time, Charles Phipps.
The building was placed between Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, in one of the liveliest parts of London. The strategy of such a location proved successful, and since then the theatre halls have always been filled with those wishing to enjoy wonderful productions.
In 1937, the theatre's capacity of 800 people seemed insufficient to its managers, so it was decided to demolish the building and construct a new, large, and modern one in its place: a renovated Art Deco facade, a signature tower with a sign, and as many as 1100 seats!
The last modernization of the premises was carried out in 2004, and now it is a modern building with an improved sound and ventilation system. A visit here can become a worthy highlight of any evening spent in London.
