London Palladium Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to the London Palladium?
The Palladium is at 8 Argyll Street, W1F 7TF, in the block behind Oxford Street. Oxford Circus, on the Central, Victoria and Bakerloo lines, is the closest station at a few minutes' walk, with Bond Street on the Central and Jubilee much the same. Argyll Street is pedestrian-busy before a show; the theatre's portico is at the Great Marlborough Street end.
Is the London Palladium an accessible space?
Yes. A ramp and lift off Argyll Street give step-free access to the Stalls. Up to four wheelchair spaces are available — L46, O48, Q48 and S49 in the Stalls — each with companion seating alongside. Two accessible toilets serve the Stalls and there is a third in the Val Parnell Bar. Induction loops, infra-red headsets and audio enhancement are all provided.
Is there a dress code at the London Palladium?
No, nothing is imposed. This is a variety house by tradition, and its audiences have always been mixed — pantomime families one week, a concert crowd the next. Wear what you will be comfortable in for a couple of hours and keep a light layer to hand. If the occasion moves you to make an effort, the Matcham interior is worth dressing for.
What time should I arrive at the London Palladium?
Thirty minutes before the start. Bags are checked at the door, the house seats well over two thousand and Argyll Street funnels all of them towards a single frontage, so the last ten minutes are the crowded ones. Arrive with time to spare and you can see the Matcham auditorium properly, and find the merchandise counter without missing the overture.
Does the London Palladium have a cloakroom, and is there a charge?
Yes, two of them — one at the Stalls entrance and one at the Royal Circle entrance — and both charge per item. Unusually for the West End they will take suitcases and pushchairs as well as coats and bags, which makes the Palladium a practical choice if you are coming with children or straight off a train.
London Palladium history
From the outside
The London Palladium’s classical 1910 façade, with its Grecian-style decorated pillars and grand entrance, leads to an interior that’s just as exquisite as the outside, a visual feast for architecture lovers and theatre goers alike.
London Palladium Theatre architecture and history
Frank Matcham designed this wonderful building, which occupies a site previously home to a handful of historic buildings: a Corinthian Bazaar, an aviary, Henglers Grand Cirque and the National Ice Skating Palace. But the London Palladium is the site’s biggest success.
The Palladium started life in 1910 as a receiving house for various kinds of entertainment and ended up a specialist Variety venue. The escapologist Houdini played there, as did the famously scandalous samba singer Carmen Miranda and the well-loved comedians Laurel and Hardy, Judy Garland of Wizard of Oz movie fame, the Marx brothers and the wonderful Frank Sinatra.
During the ‘50s the London Palladium was called the Ace Variety Theatre of the World’, host to ATV’s Sunday Night at the London Palladium television programme, and for years it hosted the yearly spectacular Royal Variety Performance.
Sunday Night at the London Palladium became a British fixture between the ‘50s and ‘70s in a stage show that made Bruce Forsyth, the host, into a household name. But in the late 1960s it transformed itself into a top venue for large-scale musicals. There followed a run of hits including two stints for The King and I, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Oliver and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Sound of Music and Sister Act.
The venue is also famous for pantomime, with lavish performances starring Cliff Richard and the Shadows in 1964 and 1966, and a variety of household name starts in subsequent years. In ‘68 Sammy Davis Junior starred in Golden Boy, the theatre’s first musical.
The London Palladium was bought by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and another investor in 2000 and took its place in his stable of top theatres. The old revolving stage was taken out in 2002 to make room for the special effects in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the Palladium’s longest running show with an impressive 1,414 performances.
From 2005 the London Palladium has been wholly owned by The Really Useful Group Ltd and offers an impressive 2298 seats, making it the West End’s largest musical venue.
Past shows at the London Palladium Theatre
Apparently the London Palladium almost hosted Elvis Presley, but his manager turned down the theatre because they weren’t offering enough money. The King and I has been staged there twice, the first time starring Yul Brynner. It has hosted the BAFTAs twice and continues to wow audiences from all over the world with top shows.
