About
London Coliseum
The London Coliseum is an iconic Edwardian theatre on St Martin’s Lane and the largest theatre in London’s West End, with 2,359 seats across four levels. Built in 1904, it combines spectacular historic architecture with the technical infrastructure of a major producing theatre.
Alongside theatre and opera, the Coliseum is actively available for conferences, award ceremonies, live podcasts, talks, concerts, filming, dinners, drinks receptions, parties, meetings and corporate away days. Previous corporate clients highlighted by the venue include American Express, Bloomberg and Goldman Sachs.

Why Hire
The London Coliseum offers something relatively rare in central London: a genuine large-scale West End theatre that is actively marketed for corporate events. For conferences, awards and presentations, the 2,359-seat auditorium provides considerable impact without requiring the event to use a conventional conference centre.
Its smaller historic rooms also mean the venue works beyond the auditorium. Receptions, dinners, VIP hospitality and breakout activity can take place throughout the building, while the professional theatre infrastructure makes it particularly strong for technically ambitious events.
