"A Groundbreaking Theater If you've seen thebig West End shows and you’re looking for something a bit more intimate, nothing beats this classy venue in sophisticated Islington. Small in size, the Almeida still packs a huge punch, constantly winning awards for its groundbreaking contributions to British theater. With star billing like Andrew Scott as Hamlet and Matt Smith in American Psycho , and vital new writing like Lucy Kirkwood’s Chimerica or Mike Bartlett’s King Charles III , this place is always a hot ticket — and a crammed calendar of talks, masterclasses, and workshops makes it a theatrical mecca even before the house lights go down."

I love the Almeida. I can recommend the theatre. The space is small enough to feel really involved in the play and it is well designed to allow good view of stage throughout. However I would also like to recommend the café bar. The staff are so friendly and the food is great

First visit to the Almedia Theatre. Front of House staff. Friendly and helpful. Cafe/bar reasonable I think the theatre is across two buildings. But the performance space in one. Show: Portia Coughlan A moving and difficult at times play. The cast is excellent. Especially, Alison Oliver as the titular Portia. The play set in Ireland through I've not met an Irish woman called Portia. Kathy Kiera Clarke is excellent in both comedic parts and the more serious elements of the play. A very powerful play.

Lovely theatre off Upper Street, Islington. Easy to get to, good transport links. Watched 'The Secret Life of Bees' which was truly amazing. Outstanding music and performances. Intimate theatre with a great cafe with reasonably priced food and drinks. Production started 30 minutes after the published time but that was fine as there is plenty of seating in the foyer and cafe.

Such a great venue, intimate yet designed to stage the epics, seen Cat on a hot tin roof recently here and Daisy Edgar jones was clearly the stand out star amongst an amazing cast, superb.

Gorgeous, intimate theatre in Islington. The staff are very welcoming and hospitable. I've seen two plays here which I've thoroughly enjoyed. The tea and cakes from the cafe were delicious and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back again!

This is a lovely theatre - feels very local, and is obviously well supported. Lovely big bar and outside seating. And the theatre itself is very well laid out with excellent sight lines. Very reasonably priced tickets.

If overpriced west-end mediocrity isn't to your taste, how about a small, friendly independent theatre showcasing the very best of modern and classic drama with ticket prices that don't require a 2nd mortgage instead. We first went here in the 1980s and have never seen anything less than a 1st class production.
