The fascinating text, combined with stunning images of the theatres featured, helps to honour London`s glorious heritage and also offers the reader a remarkable source of reference for years to come. A perfect souvenir for visitors, Londoners or anyone with an interest in British history and architecture, this visually stunning guide features specially commissioned photographs and a foreword by Zoe Wanamaker CBE. From the Savoy Theatre`s spectacularly restored Art Deco auditorium to the Donmar Warehouse`s whimsical conversion of a beer and bananas warehouse, London`s rich cultural heritage is revealed from a new and dynamic perspective. London`s Theatres` combination of comprehensive history, little-known facts, and anecdotes make it the ultimate reference book to a perennially interesting subject. This title is suitable for: residents of London keen to gain a deeper understanding of the capital`s history and architecture; theatre goers and enthusiasts; and, visitors to London, many of whom will visit a West End show during their stay.
