Bridge Theatre, London | What's On, Seats and Tickets

The centre block of Gallery 2 is the best value in the theatre. To be close, the front section of the Stalls, rows A to H. The cheapest way into the middle of the Stalls is one of the fold-out seats on the ends of the rows, where all you are missing is an armrest, but the seats are usually cheaper.

It opened in 2017: wide seats, proper legroom in the front Stalls, and a beautiful large foyer with a view of Tower Bridge.

The auditorium is rebuilt for each production, so a seating plan you saw for one show may be slightly different to the next. And it can get cold: the air-conditioning outlets sit behind some of the seats.

Bridge Theatre FAQs

Is the Bridge Theatre a West End theatre?

It is a commercial theatre of West End size and stature, but it is not in the West End. It sits south of the river on Potters Fields Park beside Tower Bridge, about ten minutes' walk from London Bridge station and fifteen (over the bridge) from Tower Hill.

How many people does the Bridge Theatre hold?

Around 900 to 960, depending on how the stage is set. The theatre describes itself as a 900-seat auditorium, and because the stage and the seating are rebuilt for each production the exact number moves with it. The Stalls hold about two thirds of the audience with Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 being small blocks which would traditionally be called the Circle and Upper Circle elsewhere.

Is there a dress code at the Bridge Theatre?

No. The theatre does not have one, so jeans and trainers are fine. Shoes you can stand in are the thing to think about here, because a promenade production means being on your feet and moving around for the whole performance. The current productions don't have promenade standing tickets.

Does the Bridge Theatre have air conditioning?

Yes, and we often hear comments that it's cold! Specific seats sit right behind an outlet, at the back of the Stalls and at the ends of Gallery 1 row C, and we name them on the seating pages. Bring a layer in July as much as in January.

Can I take a bag into the Bridge Theatre?

A small bag that fits under your seat is fine, and bags are searched on arrival. Suitcases, larger bags, folding bikes and e-scooters cannot come in at all and cannot be left here either, so deal with those before you set off. Coats and small bags go in the cloakroom, which costs nothing.

Can you eat and drink at the Bridge Theatre?

Yes. The café-bar serves beers, wines, soft drinks, tea and coffee, with sweet and savoury food from St. JOHN, and there is a small lunch menu from noon to 3:30pm. There are also free water dispensers in the foyer and downstairs by the Stalls and Gallery 1, with ice-cold, sparkling and room-temperature taps.

Can I pre-order drinks at the Bridge Theatre?

Yes, by text. Add a mobile number to your account and a link comes through on the morning of the performance; order from it and the interval drinks are poured and waiting. Madeleines go the same way, collected from numbered shelves in the foyer.

Can I pay with cash at the Bridge Theatre?

Yes. The Bridge is not a cashless theatre. It also takes Mastercard, Visa, Maestro and Theatre Tokens, in person, online and over the phone.

Can I bring children to the Bridge Theatre?

Children under five cannot be admitted and there are no babes in arms, so a baby cannot come in on a lap. Anyone under sixteen has to be with a ticket holder aged eighteen or over. The stage is set high, so a small child in the front Stalls will be looking up at it; the theatre lends booster cushions, and the Galleries are the easier answer with young children.

Does the Bridge Theatre have a stage door?

There is one, and the public cannot go in or out through it. Signings do happen there after some performances, at the company's discretion.

What time does the Bridge Theatre open?

5:30pm Monday to Saturday, 12:30pm on matinee days, and no ticket is needed to sit in the foyer or use the bar. Give it another fifteen minutes for the cloakroom. The counter itself opens at 1pm, and only on days when something is playing.
