Public transport, taxis and rideshare

Plan your Tube, rail or bus route to Aldwych in advance, and check last return times before an evening performance. If you are using a black cab or rideshare service, agree a clear pick-up point on a nearby side street so your driver can stop legally without adding to congestion on Aldwych itself.

What to check before you leave home

Before setting out, confirm which car park you plan to use and save its address in your navigation app. Check any published information from the car park operator about opening hours, height restrictions and payment methods, and review your route from the car park to the Novello Theatre entrance on Aldwych. If you decide not to drive, look up your full public transport or taxi plan in advance, including how you will get back after the show. For event-specific details such as recommended arrival times or any road closures, refer to your ticket information or the event organiser’s latest guidance.
