With the London Tube Strikes set to go ahead from the 7th – 11th Sep, West End shows have sent out warnings to theatre goers that their journey to the show might face delays and disruptions.

London Tube Strikes

London Underground staff will be striking all next week. Due to talks breaking down between the RMT union and Transport for London. The dispute is in regards to pay, fatigue and the long working week.

As of today all West End shows are going ahead as normal at their usual times. Most theatres are in the Central London area near Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Station where the Elizabeth Line should continue to run unaffected. There’s also a good network of buses in the area. However with the extra traffic and stress on the bus system theater-goers are advised to leave plenty of buffer time for their journey.

We normally advise aiming to arrive 30mins early in order to relax and enjoy the facilities, merch etc. For this week an hour early will be safest as West End Shows do typically start very on time. Some productions won’t let late-comers in till the interval. The three shows that could prove more difficult to attend are Starlight Express as Wembley Troubadour Theatre. Hamilton at Victoria Palace and Wicked at Apollo Victoria. As all other theatres are in the West End zone in Central London.

Stadium concerts have been postponed due to the strikes with Coldplay and Post Malone rescheduling their shows. Stage shows should be proceeding as scheduled.

Despite the London Tube Strikes at theatrebookings we still offer great prices to all shows on the West End. Book to see a show this week and take advantage of the cheaper pricing now that summer is over.
