London theater

British stage venue

London theater refers to the rich tradition of stage performance centered in London's West End, comparable to Broadway in New York.

The term encompasses both the physical venues—historic playhouses like the Globe, the Old Vic, and dozens of West End theaters—and the cultural institution itself.

We're seeing a London theater production of the musical.

British spelling: London theatre.
