Bridewell Theatre

Nestled within St Bride Foundation, the Bridewell Theatre is one of London's most distinctive off-West End venues. Built within the City's first Victorian swimming pool, the theatre offers a truly unique setting where historic character meets contemporary performance. Throughout the year, it hosts a diverse programme of drama, music, comedy and community events, while also providing a memorable space for private hire.

Rich in original architectural features, the venue retains its Victorian glass lantern roof, viewing gallery and changing rooms, creating an atmosphere unlike any other. Beneath the seating, the original tiled swimming pool remains intact, offering a fascinating glimpse into the building's past.

The theatre's flexible layout allows it to be transformed for a wide range of occasions, from theatrical productions and conferences to cabaret evenings, receptions and ballroom-style events. Facilities include a full lighting rig, WiFi throughout and climate control. Due to high demand, early booking is recommended.
