Facts and practical information

The Bridge Theatre, a beacon of modern playhouse design, stands proudly along the River Thames in London, England. Opened in October 2017, it is one of the city's newest theatres and has quickly become a destination for theatre enthusiasts and tourists alike.

This adaptability allows for a range of productions, from intimate plays to grand, immersive experiences.
