Wyndham's Theatre, a cherished gem in London's West End, opened its doors in 1899. Designed by renowned architect W.G.R. Sprague, who also crafted the nearby Noël Coward Theatre, it was the brainchild of actor-manager Charles Wyndham - who the theatre is named after. The inaugural production was a revival of T.W. Robertson’s play David Garrick, setting the stage for a legacy of high-quality dramas and plays.

Over the years, Wyndham's has hosted numerous notable productions. In the early 20th century, it staged several successful plays by George Bernard Shaw, including You Never Can Tell and Man and Superman. More recently, the theatre has been home to acclaimed performances such as Hamlet starring Jude Law and the world's first stage adaptation of Inside No. 9: Stage/Fright.

What are the best seats at Wyndham's Theatre?

Wyndham's Theatre offers excellent views throughout its auditorium, which is spread across three levels: Stalls, Royal Circle, and Grand Circle. Each section provides a unique experience, catering to different preferences for viewing angles, proximity, and overall immersion in the performance.

For those looking for the best seats in the house, the Stalls provide an intimate and immersive experience, particularly in the middle section of rows C to G. These seats offer a perfect balance between proximity to the stage and a full view of the action without the need to look up too steeply. 

The Royal Circle, located above the Stalls, offers an elevated perspective that allows audiences to take in the entire stage while maintaining a close connection to the performance. The best seats in this section are found in the centre of Row A, as they provide a direct, unobstructed view of the stage. Rows B and C also offer excellent sightlines, making them ideal choices for those who prefer a slightly elevated yet still immersive view.

For those who enjoy a more panoramic perspective, the Grand Circle offers excellent views from its central seats in Rows A and B. The elevation provides a full-stage view, making it a great option for appreciating intricate stage design and choreography. Seats towards the sides may have a slightly angled view, but the front and central sections remain highly recommended.
