New theatre to open in west London

A major new theatre will open in west London next year, it has been announced.

The purpose-built 620-seat Capital theatre, a joint venture by Karl Sydow and Adam Kenwright, will be established in the southwest corner of Westfield shopping centre in Shepherd’s Bush.

Adam Kenwright, founder and managing partner at Kindred Partners, said: “London’s theatres are on course to deliver the greatest ever attendance figures in 2024, with 17 million tickets and, for the first time ever, sales in excess of £1bn.

“Capital Theatre will build upon this, supported by superb transport links to provide easy access for audiences from across the UK.”
