Southwark Playhouse Borough Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to Southwark Playhouse Borough?
The Borough building is at 77-85 Newington Causeway, SE1 6BD. Elephant & Castle is about five minutes away on foot and Borough station about eight, with buses along Newington Causeway and Thameslink trains close by. One thing worth knowing if you need step-free travel: at Elephant & Castle the Northern line is step free southbound only, so coming the other way Borough is the better station. There is very little parking, and the theatre would rather you did not drive.
What access does Southwark Playhouse Borough provide?
Step-free access, a lift, wheelchair spaces, accessible toilets, a hearing enhancement system and a bar — the ordinary things, but reliably present. Access membership is free and brings reduced prices and a free companion ticket where one is needed; no proof of disability is asked for. Captioned, BSL-interpreted and relaxed performances are programmed through the year. If it would help to see the space first, the theatre welcomes a visit during opening hours, and the box office will hold the right seat if you ring rather than book online.
Which auditorium will I be in at Southwark Playhouse Borough?
One of two, and your ticket will say which. The Large seats up to 198 and The Little up to 138, and both are flexible rooms whose seating is rearranged from production to production — which is why row and seat letters shift between shows and why there is no single house seating plan to memorise. Neither room is big, so there is no distant seat in either.
