London Theatre Tickets

Not only are we quick and easy to use, we’re reliable and safe, too. Official London Theatre is run by the Society of London Theatre (SOLT), the official body representing London’s theatrical industry. Booking your theatre tickets through us means you’re buying from a trustworthy source.

SOLT is a not-for-profit organisation that champions and supports the industry through a number of campaigns and theatrical initiatives.  Profits from OfficialLondonTheatre.com go back into the industry, meaning London’s West End can continue to grow and keep providing world-famous experiences that people around the world love and enjoy.

SOLT is a member of STAR – the Society of Ticket Agents and Retailers – whose members comply with a code of practice designed to help protect customers. For over two decades, STAR has worked as a champion for ticket buyers, ensuring its members are a secure and authorised place to buy tickets, which means you can feel comfortable and secure while booking tickets to London shows.

There’s so much to see in the West End. With critically-acclaimed and world-renowned productions of shows everywhere, there’s no better place to find entertainment. With such an incredible mix of amazing shows, there’s something for everyone. Musical, play, comedy,entertainment, dance or opera – you can see it all in the infamous London theatre district.

Although there are dozens of well-loved and long-running shows on in London, there are also phenomenal stage productions with short runs – many with celebrity appearances, so you can see your favourite stars in the flesh. These are just a few of the many reasons you should take a trip to Theatreland.

London theatre is famous for a reason. Some of the biggest, best and longest-running shows in the world can be found here.

In addition to well-known and beloved London musicals like Les Misérables, The Phantom Of The Opera, Mamma Mia!, Disney’s The Lion King, and Wicked, there are plenty more productions and plays in London to see. Murder mysteries, thrillers, classic and modern drama, comedies, opera, dance – the West End has it all. You can also see some of the biggest stars of stage and screen perform live – as many times you want, we might add – in some of the best scripts ever written.

You can buy tickets right here with us, Official London Theatre. We have loads of top London shows to choose from and buying methods to suit everyone. We also have prices to suit every budget, making seeing a show even easier.

Our online booking system is quick and easy to use. Alternatively, if you prefer to buy your tickets in person, you can visit our TKTS booth in Leicester Square where our friendly and informed staff will be more than happy to help you decide which show to see.

Or, if you’re looking to treat someone, buy Theatre Tokens. Tokens are a great gift and can be used at more than 300 venues nationwide including all of London’s West End. Even better, they don’t have an expiry date, so that lucky someone can really use them to see any play or musical they want.

SOLT and Official London Theatre run Kids Week in the summer, and the Official London Theatre New Year Sale in the winter. Both are designed to make seeing London theatre shows more accessible.

Kids Week gives you the opportunity to entertain children during the summer holidays. It’s our way of encouraging families to see London shows more frequently and start loving theatre. For the whole of the school summer holidays, children aged 5-17 can go to participating shows for free as long they’re accompanied by a full-paying adult.

Every January, our Sale offers £10, £20, £30, £40, £50 & £60 tickets to top West End shows. It’s a great way to kick the new year off to a cultural start and to get into the habit of going to see a show in the West End. This year saw dozens of top London shows take part.
