Yet another informative video David, they really are very professional. It's great to learn about the theatre's history

What a lovely video. I really enjoy learning about London's old theatres. It would be amazing one day to see a video about the Wilton's Music Hall.

[@TheUKTheatreTour]

Thank you so much! I'd love to visit Wilton's Music Hall, hopefully soon. :)

Thank you so much. More theatre visits and videos are on the way and I'm on my way of visiting every theatre in London, although it might take some time though! Follow @theuktheatretour on Instagram for updates. Thank you for the support. :)

Worst seats in London. Seat pitch in the stalls shocking. AVOID
