London's biggest theatre to be built and it's not in the West End

"At Troubadour, we are driven by a belief in creating extraordinary spaces that inspire artists, audiences, and the stories they come together to share. The 3,000 seat venue is to be built in Greenwich Securing planning permission for the new Troubadour Greenwich Peninsula Theatre marks a major milestone for us, and an exciting new chapter in our commitment to bold, large-scale live performance."

"Following the success of our Canary Wharf Theatre and the world's first stage adaptation of The Hunger Games , the opening of Greenwich Peninsula Theatre will further expand London's cultural landscape. We are proud to be investing in the future of theatre creating versatile, ambitious spaces designed to host landmark productions and deliver unforgettable experiences for audiences for years to come."

"It will be built on a patch of land on the east side of the peninsula, adjacent to the cable car station. The venue will become the capital's biggest theatre by capacity. The 2,359-seat London Coliseum in the West End currently holds the title. Planning permission for the new Troubadour Theatre has only been granted for a temporary period of 10 years, after which the land will eventually be used to build residential tower blocks as per the Greenwich Peninsula Masterplan."
