The National Theatre has a range of event spaces from intimate meeting rooms to the spectular roof top space. Whether it is a coporate meeting, lavish wedding or an exciting product launch the National Theatre is the perfect place for a memorable event. The National Theatre's dedicated Hospitality Events team will take care of your event from start to finish to ensure every event is a success.
There are no eye-blocking pillars, circle rails, or other familiar hazards and you can see and hear almost equally well from each of its seats. Unlike most traditional theatres, the Lyttelton has an adjustable proscenium. You can make it into an open-end stage; add a forestage; or create an orchestra pit for up to 20 musicians. No seat is further away, here, from the actor's point of command than the distance from the front row of the dress circle in many older, larger theatres.

August 2024It was a happy, breezy, warm, and slightly cloudy Saturday on August 3, 2024. Strolling from London Bridge to the London Eye via Southbank, passing by the National Theatre, made for a perfect day out in London. I hope to catch a performance or musical at this theatre someday. Highly recommended!

June 2024Love the National! Beautiful and interesting building, lovely, friendly staff, seating in the theatres provides a great view from most spots in the auditorium and is pretty comfortable (narrow seats less so but are marked as such and tickets for those are usually cheaper), good amount of loos, reasonably priced drinks, great views from the terrace during the interval. Each visit is a pleasure!

July 2024Loved visiting this theatre - easy to get to, for a first timer in London with a sprained ankle no less! Industrial look to the outside, classy inside, comfy seats, great air flow (not stuffy at all), amazing sound, spectacular lighting, and found a cute bookshop (the bar was good too). Staff are super helpful as well 🙌 Saw Nye here in May - was totally blown away by the performance - then took an evening stroll along Southbank, enjoying the sights, bustle and hum of a city winding down on a weeknight. Magical!

July 2024I've seen multiple plays here and always had a wonderful time. They're well written and of good quality. As it's a theatre of course the price of food and drink are pretty high.
