The National Theatre is a cultural gem in London, offering a wide range of top-quality performances that cater to all tastes. The productions are always thought-provoking and beautifully staged, with incredible acting and stunning set designs. The venue itself is modern and comfortable, with great views from almost every seat. Whether you’re into classic plays, modern drama, or experimental performances, the National Theatre delivers something special every time. It’s a must-visit for theatre lovers, and the experience is truly unforgettable!

It was a happy, breezy, warm, and slightly cloudy Saturday on August 3, 2024.nnStrolling from London Bridge to the London Eye via Southbank, passing by the National Theatre, made for a perfect day out in London. I hope to catch a performance or musical at this theatre someday.nnHighly recommended!

I've seen multiple plays here and always had a wonderful time. They're well written and of good quality. As it's a theatre of course the price of food and drink are pretty high.

Love the National! Beautiful and interesting building, lovely, friendly staff, seating in the theatres provides a great view from most spots in the auditorium and is pretty comfortable narrow seats less so but are marked as such and tickets for those are usually cheaper, good amount of loos, reasonably priced drinks, great views from the terrace during the interval. Each visit is a pleasure!

Loved visiting this theatre - easy to get to, for a first timer in London with a sprained ankle no less! Industrial look to the outside, classy inside, comfy seats, great air flow not stuffy at all, amazing sound, spectacular lighting, and found a cute bookshop the bar was good too. Staff are super helpful as well nSaw Nye here in May - was totally blown away by the performance - then took an evening stroll along Southbank, enjoying the sights, bustle and hum of a city winding down on a weeknight. Magical!
