The Piccadilly line runs straight here from Heathrow, and from Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus in the West End. All four lines have step-free access at Hammersmith, and the walk to the theatre is level.

A cab can drop you on Lyric Square, on the Beadon Road side, and there's a taxi rank at the entrance to the Broadway shopping centre.

There are bike racks on Lyric Square, in front of the entrance, and cycle hire docks on Bridge Avenue, Southerton Road and Hammersmith Road.

What time to arrive

Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before, no later. It's two floors up to the bar and the auditorium, and more stairs for the upper levels.

The Lyric doesn't guarantee to let latecomers in. If it can, you'll be seated at a suitable break in the show, and possibly not in the seats you booked. Each show sets its own break, so check the show's page if you're cutting it fine.
