Shows in London — September 2026

Shows on in London during September 2026. This page narrows our full shows programme down to what's running in September 2026, so you can plan ahead — dates, venues and booking, all in one place.

There is nowhere quite like London for theatre. The West End sits alongside world-leading subsidised houses — the National Theatre, the Royal Court, the Old Vic and the Almeida — plus a thriving fringe where tomorrow's hits get their first outing. On any given week you can choose between long-running musicals, new writing, revived classics and one-off performances.

This page brings together the shows playing across London now, from Shakespeare on the South Bank to musicals in the heart of the West End and experimental work east and south of the river. We list where each show is on, its dates and how to book, and highlight productions that are about to end their run.
