National Theatre Backstage Tours

The National Theatre is one of the UK’s foremost venues for contemporary and classic theatre, scene of some the greatest performances of all time from some of world’s most famous actors and actresses.

With London Pass you can indulge your theatrical tastes and see what goes on behind the scenes with Royal National Theatre Backstage Tours – free to pass holders. Normal adult entry price is £5.

Situated on the South Bank close to Royal Festival Hall and the Hayward Gallery, National Theatre tours run several times a day and last about 75 minutes. Advance booking is recommended as theatre tour times vary according to rehearsals and performances.

London theatre tours like this one are an incredible way to experience a hidden side of the capital and get off the tried-and-tested tourist sightseeing trail. On the Royal National Theatre Backstage Tours you will be led by a well-informed and enthusiastic guide who will reveal the secrets and stories of the three auditoriums, which together stage 18 shows every year.

All National Theatre tours end with a visit backstage to see the theatre at work, including on-site scenic workshops.

If you enjoy London theatre tours, why not consider other guided tours in the capital – with London Pass you can get a free London Legends walking tour, take a Thames River trip with City Cruises or for a more unusual London sightseeing tour try the London Bicycle Tour Company where London Pass holders get a free weekend tour by bike.
