    London Coliseum Best Seats and Seating Plan

    When the London Coliseum first opened in 1904 it was home to a variety of shows, even chariot races! During the Second World War the theatre was commandeered as a canteen for the Air Raid Wardens and Winston Churchill once also gave a speech from the stage. Post 1945 the theatre was home to many musicals before becoming a cinema for approximately sevens years from 1961 onwards. Sadlers Wells Opera (now known as English National Opera) made the theatre their home in 1968 and the auditorium was then re-designed in order to accommodate a large orchestra for their productions.
