The Dominion Theatre in Fitzrovia was built in 1928 and designed as one of London’s biggest theatre venues by W and TR Milburn. It was interestingly converted to a cinema as well as a live theatre venue in the 1930s as live-show business took a slightly rocky turn, but now stages some of the West End’s most sought-after productions. Thanks to its cinematic roots, the Dominion Theatre’s seating plan has all sight-lines considered, so you should get a good view no matter which spot you pick from the theatre’s 2069 seats. It’s retained its 1930s Art Deco style with glamorous golds and reds to make your night out to the theatre really feel special.
