Savoy Theatre
The Savoy Theatre was designed by C I Phipps and decorated by Collinson & Locke. The Savoy became famous as the first public building in the world to be lit by incandescent electric lights and in one way or another it has been blazing ever since.
Designed by C I Phipps and decorated by Collinson & Locke, the most beautifully fitted theatre in Europe opened it's doors on 10th October 1881 with a transfer from the Opera Comique of Gilbert and Sullivans opera Patience. Built at the instigation of Impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte, who wanted his own theatre in order to stage the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, the Savoy Theatre became famous as the first public building in the world to be lit by Incandescent electric lights and in one way or another it has been blazing ever since. The Savoy Theatre is one of our largest capacity venues, and its stunning Art Deco decor, central location on the Strand, and iconic status, sharing its courtyard and much of its history with the notorious Savoy Hotel, makes this a truly unique venue for hire. The theatre’s stunning 1920’s interior is often used as a location for photo-shoots and filming, whilst the large auditorium and multiple bars make it an ideal venue for conferences, lectures and showcases. The bars can also be hired separately for meetings, serving as a real destination for any event.
