Waterloo East Theatre Brad Street, London SE1 8TN

"Basic but very good facilities and play wa. Excellent"

"Visited this bijou theatre under the railway arches to see a superb production (Their Finest Hour). We had a great time! There's a tiny bar with one member of staff serving, and as a result rather flustered & short tempered. The foyer is very small, but tidy & functional. Loos were clean reportedly. The theatre itself was super. Do bear in mind that trains are rumbling overhead which, for the production we saw, about WW2, added to the ambience perfectly. On leaving, there are few black cabs if any passing by. We called an uber, without issue."

"Great little hidden theatre, underneath the arches around Waterloo. Such a shame that the man behind the bar was rather rude. When waiting to take our seats, two ladies having an argument with him about buying a drink at the bar before the show. We were then told we needed to hurry up into our seats, even though we were not the ones holding everyone up. Not to mention we were asked to leave almost as soon as the lights came up. Overall an average experience, I would recommend a jumper as it became very cold after about 30 minutes inside. Not a very friendly environment."

"We went on a comedy musical, we loved it. Only one thing was a problem- we could hear the train go by every couple of minutes"

"A lovely little space under the railway bridge, and a small stage will suited to smaller, more intimate pieces of theatre. A shame, therefore, that the management and front of house (the same man) was so abysmally rude that you could not convince me to go there again. Be warned; if you like a warm, welcoming and unhurried theatre experience, stay well clear. I have not witnessed such arrogance and self-importance in the London theatre scene ever, and that is saying something!"
