Apollo Victoria Theatre

Originally opened in 1930 as the New Victoria Cinema, this striking Art Deco landmark near London's Victoria Station was designed by Ernest Walmsley Lewis with a fantastical underwater-themed interior. Converted for theatrical use in the 1980s, the 2,328-seat Apollo Victoria became synonymous with large-scale musical spectacle, most notably as the long-running home of Wicked in the West End. Its cavernous auditorium and technically sophisticated stage make it ideal for the kind of immersive, effects-driven productions that define modern commercial theatre. The building itself remains one of London's most distinctive Art Deco treasures.
