About Theatreland

The Society of London Theatre is regularly contacted by journalists, students and researchers requiring information about London's Theatreland. This area of the site includes answers to the sort of questions we are regularly asked.

At the heart of this area is Theatreland Statistics, which contains facts, figures, graphs and pie charts relating to business in the West End and surrounding areas. Also included in this section is a list of Theatreland's current theatres, complete with seating capacity and details of ownership.

Theatreland History details how London's theatre scene evolved into the epicentre of international theatre it is today. 

The final area of these pages, Theatreland Record Breakers, includes details of the longest, tallest, smallest and most expensive shows to have graced the London stage over the years.
