How to Get There
Charing Cross is the nearest mainline station to Prince Edward Theatre, while Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road are the closest Tube stops. Several local buses serve the area, including the 6, 15, 88, and 159. You should avoid driving in London where possible due to the daily Congestion Charge, but evening and weekend visitors can take advantage of the Q-Park Theatreland deal for discounted parking.
When to Get There
Evening shows are scheduled at the Prince Edward Theatre every day except Sunday, and matinees are available on Thursdays and Saturdays. Families with younger children can take advantage of the afternoon shows, while evening performances provide an opportunity to relax after a busy day of sightseeing.
Queensberry All-Services Club
During its time as the London Casino, the venue hosted the Queensberry All-Services Club. Performances by wartime artists such as Vera Lynn and Bing Crosby would be broadcast to overseas British Forces every Sunday. In fact, it’s thought that Glenn Miller’s final performance was at the club, on December 12, 1944, just three days before his tragic disappearance.
