There is no formal dress code at most London theatres. Smart-casual is common and many people dress up for the occasion, but comfortable clothing is fine.

Most theatres have bars and sell drinks and snacks before the show and at the interval, and many let you pre-order interval drinks. Facilities vary, so check with the venue.

Storage is often limited in London theatres, and large bags or luggage may not be accepted. Travel light and check the theatre's guidance if you have large items.

Capacity varies by production and seating plan. Check the theatre's website for its seating plan.
