Lyric Hammersmith Theatre

The Lyric Hammersmith was first established in 1888 as a music hall on Bradmore Grove, and the theatre has since been rebuilt twice on the same site, first in 1890 and then in 1895, increasing its capacity each time. It was finally demolished in 1966 and rebuilt piece by piece, with an updated shell, at its current home on King Street. Since its reopening there in 1979, the Lyric Hammersmith has hosted numerous high-profile plays and musicals in its two performance spaces, including classic shows and contemporary works.
