Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London.
00:06
Tucked beside London's bustling Victoria Station stands the Victoria Palace Theatre,
00:11
one of the city's most iconic West End venues.
00:14
Originally opened in 1911, the theatre was designed by architect Frank Matcham,
00:20
known for creating some of Britain's most beautiful performance spaces.
00:24
Over the decades, the Victoria Palace has hosted everything from variety acts
00:29
and classic musicals to modern blockbusters.
00:32
It became especially famous for long-running hits like Buddy and Billy Elliot.
00:36
The theatre underwent a major restoration,
00:38
blending Matcham's Edwardian craftsmanship with updated technology
00:42
and today serves as the venue for Hamilton.
00:47
More than a century after it first opened its doors,
00:49
the Victoria Palace Theatre remains a shining star of the West End.
