London is set to get its largest theatre after plans for a 3,000-seat venue were given the go-ahead.
Greenwich Council has granted Troubadour Theatres planning permission for the scheme, which will be built on the eastern side of the Greenwich Peninsula in south-east London.
Split across two 1,500-seat auditoriums, it will become the capital’s biggest theatre by capacity, overtaking the 2,359-seat London Coliseum in the West End. Construction is expected to start in June.
Troubadour, which operates venues in Wembley Park and Canary Wharf, said the new development would further expand the capital’s cultural landscape and “deliver unforgettable experiences for audiences for years to come”.
