What Visitors Say
A beautiful venue and the window views of London from the upper levels are wonderful. Food selections are overpriced as one would expect in the West end. During the show the venue was on the cooler side so I would recommend to bring an extra layer just in case.
First time visiting this theatre. Easy to find. Went to see "the boy who harnessed the wind". Very impressed. Staff friendly and helpful. Seats in the stalls close to the stage. Almost feels as though you are part of the production. Bars serving a good selection of drinks but quite expensive. Lots of places to eat nearby.
Amazing new theatre! I saw The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind here last night and loved it. The play was brilliant and the customer service was top-notch. Highly recommend both the play and the theatre.
The space is beautiful. I was on the upper circle, and did use the wonderfully scented lifts which go to every floor. On the way out, I noticed the stairs looked busy and more cramped than would suit me. I noticed on arrival that some people had difficulty finding the correct door to enter the auditorium. During the interval, toilets were clean, with no long queues - always a bonus. Also, there seemed to only be ice-cream on offer, I would have liked some other offerings as well. 🍫 Staff were friendly and helpful.
A modern theatre where every seat feels close to the action, it’s right by Tottenham Court Road station. It’s a clever in-the-round design - the seating curves fully around the stage so you never feel too far away, which makes performances feel more immersive. The space itself feels fresh and well thought through, with clean, modern toilets, several bars, and an overall polished atmosphere.

All seats have clear views. For a balanced experience: First Balcony front-centre. For the most immersive energy: Stalls close to the stage. Second Balcony is excellent value with unobstructed sightlines. For a safer booking, also note: No truly bad seats.

Is @sohoplace a good venue for seeing The Spy Who Came In From The Cold?
Yes, if you book with the production's scale in mind. The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is currently listed at @sohoplace, so choose seats that suit this staging rather than simply buying the cheapest available ticket. For a first visit, a central view is the least risky option.
What kind of night out does @sohoplace suit best?
@sohoplace works best for Modern productions, intimate staging, excellent sightlines, and innovative theatre lovers who want a close-up experience in Soho. The right choice depends less on dress code and more on matching the room to the production: intimate plays reward proximity, while spectacle-led musicals usually benefit from a more centred overview.
What should I know about access before booking @sohoplace?
Check the venue's official access page or box office before booking wheelchair spaces, transfer seats, step-free routes, companion seats or assisted performances. London venues vary sharply by level, and the most comfortable choice is often a specific access seat rather than a general price band.
How early should I arrive at @sohoplace?
Aim to be at the doors around half an hour before the performance, and earlier if you need access support, cloakroom time, box-office collection or a quiet drink. For older West End buildings, late arrival can mean stairs, narrow foyers and a less relaxed start.
