Queen's Theatre - opened on 8 October 1907, almost 10 months after its twin, the Gielgud Theatre, on the adjoining corner of Shaftesbury Avenue. The architect for both was W.G.R. Sprague, the Queen's being the seventh West End theatre he had designed in addition to many outside London. Seating over 1,000 it was slightly larger than the Gielgud and like most theatres at the time exhibited a combination of architectural styles and influences, the most predominant being what was then termed the 'Edwardian Renaissance' style.
