Three levels, from the ground up: the Stalls, the Royal Circle and the Grand Circle, with eight Boxes beside the stage, four at Royal Circle level and four at Grand Circle level. Wyndham's is small, and the levels are stacked steeply rather than spread back.
What actually costs you a view here is the overhang, not the distance. The Royal Circle hangs over the Stalls from row K, and from row N you start losing the top of the stage. Upstairs, the Grand Circle hangs over the Royal Circle from row C, but only the back row, G, really loses anything. Get the overhang right and there are no bad decisions left to make.
Should I sit in the Stalls or the Royal Circle?
In a theatre this size both are good, so it depends on what you want. The front of the Royal Circle gives you the more complete picture of the stage, with no heads in the way. The central Stalls put you closer to the actors, which suits the sort of close, wordy play this theatre tends to programme. One thing to know either way: the front rows of the Stalls, A to D, are flat, so a tall person in front of you matters more there than anywhere else in the building.
The levels at a glance
- Stalls, rows A to R. The central rows are the pick for being close; the overhang starts to bite from row N, and rows Q and R sit in an alcove at the back. Row Q has the most legroom
- Royal Circle, rows A to G. Front and centre is the best view in the building. Row G is eight seats set back in an alcove of their own
- Grand Circle, rows A to H. The value level: steep, a long way up, and tight for legroom. The raised rear section, rows E to H, is the cheapest in the building
- Boxes, eight of them, two seats each. Side-on, so you lose part of the stage
Restricted view seats
There are no pillars in the auditorium. What restricts the view here is the overhang at the back of the Stalls, the end seats in the front rows of the Grand Circle, where the curve of the circle and the Boxes cut off a front corner of the stage, and the Boxes themselves, which look at the stage from the side. Anything sold with a restricted view is marked as one before you buy.
Taller? The best seats for legroom
Stalls row Q is the extra-legroom row: it has a walkway in front of it, so you can stretch out, at the cost of some of the top of the stage. Otherwise the room is in the aisle seats and the Boxes, where the chairs move. The Grand Circle is the level to avoid if you're tall. The front section is poor for anyone over about 5ft 7, and row A is the worst of it.
Step-free seating
Only in Box A, at the back of the Stalls, reached by a lift from a side entrance on Charing Cross Road. Every other seat involves steps, and the access page has the detail.

Seating Plan FAQs
Where are the best seats at Wyndham's Theatre?
The front and centre of the Royal Circle, for a clear view of the whole stage with nothing in the way. If you'd rather be close to the actors, the central Stalls are the other strong answer. For value, the front of the Grand Circle sees everything for a good deal less.
Which seats should I avoid at Wyndham's Theatre?
The back of the Stalls from row N, where the circle above takes the top of the stage, and especially rows Q and R, which feel a little like looking through a letterbox. Royal Circle row G, which is set back on its own. And the Grand Circle if you're tall, because the legroom is poor.
