The Drury Lane Theatre Royal is famous for its long running musicals, including My Fair Lady and the now departed Miss Saigon. It's the world's largest working theatre and the auditorium seats 2,300 people, and has been in use since 1663. Tours of the theatre are available every day - costumed guides take you through its history and the people associated with it - the latter include playwright Richard Sheridan, actress (and mistress) Nell Gywnne, and the clown Grimaldi. There are seats reserved for wheelchairs. All wheelchair users must contact customer services when booking.
