Shows in London — January 2027
Shows on in London during January 2027. This page narrows our full shows programme down to what's running in January 2027, so you can plan ahead — dates, venues and booking, all in one place.
There must be a reason that the name for the commercial and entertainment heart of London – the 'West End' – is, quite literally, synonymous with theatre. Perhaps that's because, for centuries, there's never been anywhere in the world quite like the capital for drama. From crowd-pleasing musicals to avant-garde 'straight plays', we cover the whole range, as well as such other 'stage' arts as Opera, Dance and Comedy.
