Districts 3, 6 and 7 at Troubadour Canary Wharf Theatre

Book these to save money and accept looking sideways for a good part of the show. They are the narrow blocks set back beside the four main Districts, and the reviews from people who sit in them are consistently better than the description suggests.

You are off-angle rather than badly placed, and in a theatre built in the round that is a smaller penalty than it sounds, because the staging is designed to be watched from every side.

Where to sit

The middle rows, towards the end of the row nearest the stage. The seats that work best in these blocks are the ones with the least turn in them, because the view from a side District is a question of how far round you have to look.

District 6, the end seat of row C, is the one regulars single out: extra legroom, almost nothing in the way, and it is an end seat that does not sit on the aisle.

District 3, around row F, sees the whole show comfortably.

District 7, around row L, is perfectly good, and you do not need to be nearer than that to enjoy it.

What you give up

Some of the screens. These are the blocks most likely to miss the projections at the far ends. If the screen content matters to you, a main District is the answer.

The back rows ask for a lean. The last rows of Districts 3 and 6 need you to sit forward to see most of the show. They are comfortable, spacious and cheap.

Row A is the cramped row in all three of these Districts.

Exits: District 7 leaves through a shared door with 8, 9 and 10. If you have a train to catch, ask for District 3 or 10, which are nearer an exit.

Access seats

Wheelchair positions are in row P of Districts 3 and 6, with step-free seating in row Q of both and row P of District 7. They are held back and not sold online. Access explains how they are booked.
