Venue

Pros:

• "County Hall is very grand and majestic."
• "The County Hall itself is very glamorous."
• "Great unique setting feels very immersive."
• "Superb setting which added to the feeling of being in the actual courtroom."
• "The setting/stage is amazing. Nearly 200 years of history and I’m just sat there watching a stunning show."
• "The setting of the former local government chamber lends itself perfectly to the drama unfolding, for those in the stalls, just feet from your seat."
• "This is an absolutely gorgeous setting for a theater production."

Cons:

• "The other parts of this iconic building are being used for various tourist venues and were a bit tacky."
• "The building was a little tricky to find, it's in the same building as the London Dungeon (opposite the London eye), but the entrance is from the back side of the building (off Belvedere road)."
• "Finding the entrance can be tricky as it is not the entrance closer to the water as the address suggests."

Seating

Pros:

• "You can pretty much sit anywhere in the stalls and get great views."
• "All the seats in the stalls are good."
• "Seats were very comfortable and very spacious."
• "The show offers dirt cheap tickets - these can have restricted views but it’s a small theatre so you’re never far away from the action."
• "We got tickets from a TodayTix for £25 next to the witness box(F213/214) Great for the view."
• "Our seats were in central gallery (B22/23) with a great view of the whole courtroom."
• "Every seat down stairs had great views but I can imagine that some in the gallery will be poor due to the pillars."

Cons:

• "My only gripe is if you are buying the cheap tickets (which I did) the big marble pillars block your view so you have to move your head around quite a bit to see what's happening."
• "I wish shows would stop selling bad seats!"
• "Some restricted view seats are much better than others."
• "Most seats have a good view but the view can be obstructed in the higher seats as there are some large pillars."
• "Lots of the seats high up are difficult to get to and have restricted view, so do be aware."
• "The only negative thing I have to say is that the seats were not very comfortable, but there is a great view from up there."
• "Seats are very uncomfortable."
