Bridewell Theatre is a thriving off-west end venue built over the City of London's first swimming pool. This versatile space plays host to a range of production companies throughout the year and can also be transformed into a truly atmospheric ballroom, a magical cabaret venue or conference space.

The tiled swimming pool itself is also still in place underneath the seating. WiFi throughout.
