The review here below relates to a ticket seller Thearte Tickets Direct who the Peacock Thearte…read moreallow to sell show tickets on their behalf for their shows. We contacted the Peacock Theatre to explain our utter disapointment with 'agents' of their company who they allow to sell tickets on their behalf. The response from the Peacock Thearte was 'we are sorry but there is nothing we can do'. ADVCE: Other than stop companies like Theatre Tickets Direct selling tickets to your shows might be something you could consider? Whilst we are going to watch the show, we will never attend the Peacock Thearte again. It is rather ironic that the Theartes here in London have been pleading for Government funding to help them survive the pandemic, and then allow companies like Theatre Tickets Direct sell their shows and treat consumers unfairly in their name. HERE BELOW IS OUR THEARTE TICKETS DIRECT REVIEW ON GOOGLE AND TRUSTPILOT BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER USING THEM CHECK THEIR ONE STAR REVIEWS. So, my Wife tried to book two tickets for Saturday Night Fever at the Peacock Thearte for the performance on the evening of the 20 February 2022. Upon visiting their site she notice a block of three front row seats available so she proceeded to book two of the three seats available. She booked one of the two seats but when she tried to book the seat next to the one she had booked she found that system was not letting her do so. Frustrated with this she when out of the booking system and refreshed her browser. Upon going back into the booking system she clicked on the first seat she had booked it and was not showing as available any longer. She then thought well that seat has now gone and successfully booked the other two remaining seats. She went to the secure checkout and paid for the tickets. Within minutes of making the booking she received notification from her bank that Thearte Tickets Direct had debited the cost of all three tickets from her account. She immediately emailed Thearte Tickets Direct advising them of the error within tens minutes of receiving the notification of debit from her bank. She received a very abrupt email the next day from a Nandeep Vyas advising that it was now 'impossible' to issue a refund for the third ticket even though it was probably a glitch in their booking system. We have perused the one star reviews here and would tend to agree with the consensus of opinion expressed therein that the customer service is appalling and that they are potentially scamming consumers. We are consumer lawyers and we will not let this matter rest. We fully intend to drag the matter through the Small Claims Court for a princely sum of £35 to issue on these people, and have them explain their T&Cs to the court is well worth it, and we will publish the outcome here, win or lose. We have also written to the Chief Executive of the Peacock Theatre outlining our dissapointment in the way in which this company represent the theatres who allow them to sell tickets for their shows on their behalf.

A very centrally located and super comfortable theatre. It feels more like a plush cinema hall than…read morethe regular London theatres (live productions) Comfortable seats, with good cushioning and gasp! Plenty of leg room! We were down in the stalls and there are no pillars or other such construction in the middle of the hall, so none of the seats were "restricted view" I'd bought discounted tickets on Time Out and that is always a risk, since you do not know until you've picked up your tickets in the day of the show, what seats are going to be allocated to you. But at the Peacock, that risk is minimised - due to the afore mentioned absence of "restricted view" seats. Temperatures were comfortable throughout. There were cafeterias on both floors (stalls and circle), but we had just had dinner before the show, so we didn't brave the crowds milling around to check it out. They do have a lift for the disabled to use, so access is not an issue, even though the elevator is very slow. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think they have some kind of tie-up with Sadler Wells as they seem to have a lot of their shows coming up.

We had seats on the balcony, and I was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic bird's eye view of the stage it offered. The intimacy of the venue truly enhanced the emotional impact of "Your Lie In April." Overall, the Harold Pinter Theatre is a charming and well-located venue that offers a great theatrical experience, even from the balcony. The stairs are kind of steep and narrow, and the bathrooms are kind of cramped. But it was very lovely to have the opportunity to visit this small theater to watch the adaptation of Your Lie in April.

I came here to see one of my favorite actors, Tom Hiddleston, perform in the play "Betrayal" (which, coincidentally, was written by the same individual that the theatre is named after). Despite the minimalist set design, the production was well done. The sound and lighting were excellent, and I had fantastic seats. I sat in the B-row of the Royal Circle and had a fantastic view which did not require the aid of my opera glasses. Speaking of binoculars/opera glasses, in the Royal Circle (the seating block between the Orchestra and the Balcony seats) they are available for rent for a small fee (£1, if I remember correctly). Not sure if that's the case in all of the sections though. The only concern that I had involved exiting the theatre. There are two very small stairways that lead from the Royal Circle to the main floor and ultimately to the exit. In the event of a fire or other emergency, is almost assured that people would be trapped/trampled. I must've waited for at least 15 minutes after the show ended just to get out of my seat because the queue backed all the way up into the seating area.

The pub just looks like any old old man's pub in London but you get a completely different feel once you step inside. I love the decor - heavy wooden furniture, dim lighting and candles, with tables placed around the bar make it feel really traditional and cosy. The theatre is upstairs and hosts and array of amateur plays and comedy nights. My friend used to run a comedy night on Sundays here and it was really great and inexpensive. This place is not only a brilliant pub but there's something for theatre buffs too - it's built it's reputation as a sold theatre/pub - great.

The gardens are basin shaped with a rabbit warren of paths leading you down to the ponds where you can find duck, geese and some tame but neurotic squirrels.

There's a whole load of benches dotted around the gardens and a kind of roman patio area too. This isn't really a picnic place; more of a ramble around spot. Really quaint and pretty.

I'm reviewing the bar also, rather than the theatre…read more I had my work leaving drinks here, so reserved the mezzanine area. The bar itself is a good size with a really nice appearance. It's just such a shame the piano music doesn't come on from a little earlier, as this is the real appeal of this place, and the atmosphere only really comes alive once he starts playing. I'm assuming they have to wait for any performances to end. I was here from about 5.30pm, and whilst there was some (fairly quiet) background music on, there was a corporate event downstairs, so the music was off for a large part of the evening. I hadn't realised that the piano man wasn't on until late, so whilst there were a small number of my party left to enjoy it, most people had meandered off home by that point. It's a really nice place, I would just plan to end your work drinks here, rather than start them, as it's fairly 'plain' here without the performer.

What sets this place apart from every other bar I have ever been to is the clientelle. Note the time the live music starts.... 11pm. The bar here is almost entirely inhabited by performers that have just finished a show in the West End. If you don't sing for a living or earn your crust on stage you are the exception. The live music is almost invariably a grand piano and a singer or singers. Normally I would rather pierce my ear drums with pencils than suffer a karaoke night, here when the patrons decide to sing, you are in for something truly spectacular. The repetoire is generally much loved classic numbers from the last thirty years and show tunes and the standard is very high. It gets very busy after midnight and there's a reason for that. The atmosphere is friendly and the live music is great.

It is run largely by volunteers who are all passionate about theatre and do their best to ensure high quality productions. If you're into theatre then why not take part yourself either helping out behind the scenes or at the front of the house. You can also audition for parts if you are a young actor wishing to get a few more shows on your portfolio. Details of how are on their website. As a visitor I have enjoyed a few productions here. The main auditorium feels historic with that musky smell to it which is somewhat relaxing. The front of house and bar have a really enthusiastic buzz about them which enhances the theatre going experience. It is a warm and friendly place which appreciates the custom and people seeing the shows. Parking is available in the Morrison's car park around the corner and pre show drinks are available either at the bar in the theatre or at Potion next door.
