A faithful reconstruction of Shakespeare's 1599 playhouse, rebuilt a few hundred yards from the original site and opened to audiences in 1997.
Founded in 1818 as the Royal Coburg Theatre, this Waterloo landmark launched the National Theatre company under Laurence Olivier in 1963.
Opened in 1871, this Victorian concert hall has hosted the BBC Proms every summer and remains one of London's most recognisable venues.
