St Martins Theatre in London West End

St Martins Theatre, London West End

The St Martins Theatre, located in West Street, was designed by the architect W G R Spraque in 1913 as a companion to The New Ambassadors Theatre which is next door to the theatre. Although The New Ambassadors Theatre was completed and opened in 1913, the out break of the First World War put the building of The St Martins Theatre 'on-hold' and it was not completed until three years later in 1916.

When The St Martins Theatre did finally open on Thursday 23 November 1916 did was described as "a very cosy and distreet little place, all soft-coloured wood panelling and peacock-blue hangings, with no touch of gilding except on the lamp brackets." The warm polished wood interior remains down to today and is unique within London's West End theatres.

The current show at The St Martin's Theatre is Mousetrap.
