Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre, London
Water Street, in Wood Wharf, about five minutes on foot from Canary Wharf station. It is a 1,200-seat theatre built in the round, so the audience sits on every side of a central stage. The front row is at stage level and everything behind it is tiered up above.
The Hunger Games: On Stage is playing here, booking to 14 February 2027. Tickets start from around £35 and the running time is 2 hours 30 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
If you want the short answer on seats: Districts 4, 5, 8 and 9, rows D or E, and take a seat off the aisle rather than on it. They are the main blocks, and the best all-round view in the building. For The Hunger Games, the top-price seats are front and centre in Districts 4 and 5.
There are no Stalls here and no Dress Circle. The auditorium is divided into eleven numbered Districts, and the stage itself is District 12, which is why the audience Districts stop at eleven.
It's not the easiest theatre to find. It's tucked down an alleyway off the plaza and looks like the warehouse buildings either side of it, so keep an eye out for the big bronze mockingjay on the roof. Give yourself a bit of extra time, because it's easy to get a bit lost around Canary Wharf.
Below: the seating plan and the five parts of the auditorium in detail, how to get here and how to find the door, what access provision there is, where to eat and drink, and more about the theatre.

Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre FAQs
Can I take my own food or a water bottle into Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre?
As with most theatres, food and drink from outside is not allowed. However, you are usually allowed to take in a bottle of water, as long as it's sealed.
Does Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre have a bag policy?
Every bag is searched before you go in. Larger suitcases cannot come into the auditorium at all. Leave them in the cloakroom downstairs, which costs a little. Filming and photography devices are not allowed. This even includes META glasses!
Is there a dress code at Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre?
There is none. Jeans and trainers are absolutely fine. Wear what you would wear to the cinema.
How many seats does Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre have?
1,200, in eleven numbered Districts arranged around a central stage. It is built in the round, so there is no back of the auditorium in the usual sense and nobody is more than a few rows from a gangway.
Can I leave my seat during the performance?
You can, but you will not be let back in while the performance is running, in any seat. The interval is the time to go out to the bar and come back. In Districts 1 and 2, which move during the show, you also cannot leave while the bank is moving. Every District entrance is staffed, so ask rather than guess.
Are the foyers really nut-free?
Yes. Nuts and nut-containing products are not permitted anywhere in the foyers or the auditorium. The exception is Songbird, the restaurant inside the building, which is not nut-free.
Can I buy tickets at the Box Office?
You can, on the day, subject to what is left. Tickets bought in advance are sent out about 20 hours before the performance rather than at the point of booking, so do not worry if nothing arrives immediately.
Do you offer group bookings at Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre?
We do. There are group rates for parties of ten or more and twenty or more, plus school group rates, all available on Tuesday to Thursday evenings and Friday matinees. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will work out the best option for your party.
How do I contact Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre about a booking?
If you booked with us, call us on 020 7193 9050 and we will sort it out. If you booked somewhere else, get in touch with whoever you bought your tickets from, as they will hold your booking.
Can I book by phone?
Yes. Call us on 020 7193 9050 and you will get a person who knows the Districts, which helps in a building with no Stalls and no Dress Circle to ask for. All-in pricing on the phone as well as online.
Can I take photos inside Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre?
Not during the performance. Filming and photography devices are not permitted and are checked into the cloakroom, META glasses included! If yours have prescription lenses, the theatre suggests bringing an ordinary spare pair.
Is Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre in the West End?
No, and it is not trying to be. It is in Canary Wharf, east of the City, about five minutes from the station and surrounded by the estate's own shops, bars and restaurants. The journey in is a tube ride rather than a walk from Leicester Square, and it is a quick one.
Is it air conditioned?
Fully, throughout the bars, the lounges and the auditorium, which is worth a thought for a summer matinee and for anyone who runs cold.
