There has been a theatre under Charing Cross Station dating back to 1864. Having been known by several names throughout its lifetime the theatre was renamed Charing Cross Theatre in January 2011 marking a change of ownership and the new era it was about to venture into. Recent notable productions include Violet; Harold and Maude starring Sheila Hancock and the first London revival of The Woman in White. It is fair to say that this former Music Hall diverse programme offers a mixture of drama, musicals, comedy and cabaret, really something for all.
