"Andrew Mills, the head of operations for HH Production Limited, the applicant, said the site would be a temporary venue for the Arts Theatre - famed for hosting productions such as hit show Six the Musical - while its Great Newport Street location undergoes a 24-month refurb from 2026. He said Marble Arch was the perfect fit with excellent transport links and multiple bus routes ensuring guests can access the theatre conveniently."
"He said: We want to replace one cultural institution with another within the borough. We want to ensure continuity of our staff our intention is to retain employment of the staff at the Arts Theatre with them transferring over to Marble Arch in due course. We want to offer a fresh and exciting cultural space for Londoners and visitors alike, drawing visitors to the iconic location of Marble Arch and the surrounding area."
"A pop-up theatre will operate for two years on the site of the infamous Marble Arch Mound. Westminster City Council's planning committee voted unanimously to back the building of the theatre which is due to open in April next year. The theatre will serve up to 500 customers and be open 9am and midnight every day between April 1, 2026, and June 30, 2028."
Westminster City Council's planning committee unanimously approved a temporary pop-up theatre on the Marble Arch Mound site. The venue will operate from April 1, 2026, to June 30, 2028, serving up to 500 customers and open daily from 9am to midnight. The site will act as a temporary home for the Arts Theatre during a 24-month refurbishment of its Great Newport Street location. HH Production Limited intends to transfer and retain Arts Theatre staff at the Marble Arch venue. The theatre is described as highly sustainable with a 20-year lifespan and will be reconstructed elsewhere after two years. Local groups including the Marble Arch BID supported the proposal, citing increased footfall and cultural activity for the area.
