By tube

Tottenham Court Road is about a minute away, on the Central, Northern and Elizabeth lines. The Elizabeth line runs straight to Tottenham Court Road from Heathrow, Paddington and Liverpool Street, so you can come in from any of them without changing.

Oxford Circus (Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines) is about ten minutes' walk along Oxford Street.

By train

Charing Cross is the nearest mainline station, about 15 minutes on foot or two stops on the Northern line. Euston is about 25 minutes' walk. From Paddington or Liverpool Street, take the Elizabeth line.

The closest stops are on Charing Cross Road beside the theatre, with more round Tottenham Court Road station and on New Oxford Street. Which bus to take depends on where you're coming from:

All three stop at Tottenham Court Road Station (Stop G) on Charing Cross Road, about a minute from the door

Late at night, the N5, N19, N20, N29, N41 and N279 stop at Stop G on Charing Cross Road.

By car

There's no parking at the theatre. The nearest car parks are:

• Q-Park Chinatown, Newport Place, open 24 hours, about ten minutes' walk
• Q-Park Soho, Poland Street, open 24 hours, about ten minutes' walk on the far side of Soho

Both get busy on show nights, so book a space in advance if you can.

The theatre is inside the Congestion Charge zone, which runs from 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from midday to 6pm at weekends. Arrive after 6pm for an evening performance and you won't pay it; for a matinee you will, currently £18 a day. The ULEZ applies around the clock if your car doesn't meet its standards.

Soho Place itself is pedestrianised, so if you're being dropped off, ask for Sutton Row, off Soho Square, which is only a few metres from the front door. After the show, cabs are easy to hail on Charing Cross Road. Blue Badge holders can find the nearest free bays on Westminster's Parking for Blue Badges map; they can't be reserved.

What time to arrive

The doors open in stages: the building and the ground-floor bar 90 minutes before the show, the bars on each level at 45 minutes, and the auditorium at about 30. Arrive 15 to 20 minutes before, no later, and on a busy night allow for a queue at the bag check.
