Prince of Wales Theatre Tours and Activities
Originally built by celebrated architect C.J. Phipps in 1884, the Prince of Wales Theatre is a long-serving staple of London’s Theatreland. In 1937, it was entirely renovated in an Art Deco style, then further modernized in 2004. Since 2013, the Theatre has been the West End home of the award-winning Book of Mormon.
The Basics
The Book of Mormon continues to draw audiences with its unique brand of musical comedy, so it’s worth booking in advance to secure your seats. Take advantage of packages that offer seating choices to suit your budget, or make a night of it with upgrade options that include a preshow dinner. Located conveniently close to Leicester Square and the National Gallery, the theater is an ideal spot to unwind after a day of city sightseeing.
Things to Know Before You Go
How to Get There
The Prince of Wales Theatre is quick walk from the Piccadilly Circus tube station and a less than ten-minute walk from Charing Cross. Buses 14, 19, and 38 all stop nearby. Q-Park’s Theatreland Parking Scheme offers discounted parking in the nearby Q-Park Chinatown parking lot, though be aware that the London Congestion Charge applies daily until 6pm.
When to Get There
Evening performances take place every day except Sunday, and matinee shows run on Wednesdays and Saturdays. In the summer, take a break from the city heat with an afternoon matinee, while in winter take a walk before or after your show to see festive seasonal lights strung along neighboring Regent Street.
London’s Chinatown
For a truly London experience, combine a show with dinner in London’s Chinatown district, just a minute’s walk from the Prince of Wales Theatre. Look out for bilingual street signs, stone statues, and decorated gateways that celebrate the enclave’s Chinese heritage, then take a seat in one of the many restaurants for an authentic taste of capital-city culture.
