A 900-seat theatre is to open close to Tower Bridge run by Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr, who oversaw 12 years of artistic and commercial success at the National Theatre.
The planned venue is part of the One Tower Bridge development and will be the flagship home for the London Theatre Company. The auditorium of the theatre, which will open in Spring 2017, will be designed by Steve Tompkins and Roger Watts of Haworth Tompkins.
