Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

No where open after 11pm to get a drink and sit outside on a hot summer night after the London Palladium. Every where closed, but you can get a beer from 10am in the morning and sit outside.Written 25 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emma F1 contributionSaw Hello Dolly with my mam for our annual West End trip. We thought the performance was amazing and could hardly fault it. Afterwards it was wonderful to meet Imelda Staunton and get an autograph.
However, right from the start of our visit we came across a huge problem. As avid theatre goers my mam and myself checked in advance where we were going to be sat. This made finding our seats easier, unlike for some. Myself and another person in an aisle seat spent the 20 minutes before the first act helping people find their rows, seats and the toilet. Once through the doors to the Grand Circle there was no member of staff in sight. Normally there would be someone on the door advising everyone on where to go.
I understand staffing may not account for this but due to the up or down situation when entering the Grand Circle there should at least be a sign say which way rows are. This was not an experience that was fully negative but it did bring added stress to an evening which should have had none.Written 25 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Harry Potter & The Cursed Child was a superb show and top notch Actors and effects
But although in two halves so it was quite long but boy those seats really are awful.
Very uncomfortable far too hard on the backside very tightly packed in.

- CruiseGirl2Virginia Beach, VA441 contributionsA must see. I’ve seen this show about 20 times but this was by far the best. Every voice was perfection. The show blew me away. What a cast! The theater is beautiful. Such a lovely theater experience.Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RiverviewDon19 contributionsMy wife Sue was celebrating a 'landmark birthday' & we were treated to a long overdue first visit to Ronnie Scott's by our 'children'.
The newly refurbished Ronnie Scott's is still 'intimate' and we were told by our friendly club member neighbours that we were lucky to get in!
We were truly entertained by the superb quintet of Mark Crooks on sax & "misery stick", Nigel Price, guitar, Percussionist Demi Garcia Sabat, Marianne Windham, the founder of Guildford Jazz and a well-respected & in demand double bass player & finally John Cervantes on piano.
Their love of music and samba oozed from every note played and the final encore & applause reflected the joy given out by them to a very grateful audience.
The food served was top quality, tasty and on time! Their huge choice of drinks should satisfy the fussiest of quaffers!
If you have always held back from visiting Ronnie Scott's for whatever reason, then don't!
We were made very welcome by the staff and despite the wonderful people sitting close by to us being on a totally different universe society wise, we felt comfortable and relaxed, enjoying the genuinely warm two way conversations and the knowledgeable information from our newest, bested chums on how good this quintet was!
The warm memory of that unforgettable Sunday lunchtime session will be with us always!
We will definitely return!!Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was not about to leave the children, pretty poor I thought given this was in the coffee shop. Wouldn't go back to cafe, I love a good coffee and the coffee was horrible.Written 15 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Clive G3 contributionsWow. The combination of visual and sound effects were amazing! The story line tied in nicely with the HP franchise which will please all fans and the acting was top drawer.
The play being in 2 halves made it possible to watch in one day. Lots of places to get food in between shows - we went to The Ivy to make a big occasion of the day.
This a great little theatre and the staff were all very welcoming. Highly recommended.Written 16 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

When I arrived at the theatre my information had been passed on and all the staff I encountered went out of their way to help me. The customer service was really excellent.
The theatre itself was beautiful and very clean.Written 19 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Mittens W5 contributionsWent to see Hadestown which was fantastic - absolutely incredible show - staff were really good, the only downside (circle and in centre seats) was how teeny the seat space is. I completely get it, it’s a Victorian era theatre where the average height of men was 5ft 5 - same as me - and I must say I struggled. The seats themselves were comfortable just no leg space. Had a good view and was really great little theatre - very beautifully refurbished (seat comfy - just not for the muscley legged humans!)
Due to the curve in the seat back of the seat in front you have two knees (yours and the person next to you) trying to share the same space - and being Brits in trying not to inconvenience each other you begin to do some fun contortions to get in (and don’t expect to get out mid show it’s not happening! Those of weak bladders would be better on end seats as would those with longer legs!)
The theatre itself is beautiful, the staff very friendly, the show was fantastic - just maybe by adjusting the seats to get a little space between the seat cushion when it folded out if at all possible (again completely understand may be impossible given the age of theatre & likely it being protected space)
Acoustics were great too, fab little theatre, fantastic show - only gutted I couldn’t get the London recording of the show Hadestown (only Broadway version) - literally had moments where lights on crowd and they could see all of us as well as we could see cast / musicians - and you’re really close to the action.
Essentially, had the row in front of me not been occupied I would have been more comfortable with my legs hooked over the seat in front as that would be the distance of a ‘today’ sized leg space, alas this is not possible - or having a row in and an empty row to allow legs to be stretched a bit would have made a huge difference.
I know it’s really tricky to be able to fit modern taller more muscley humans into tiny spaces & keep beauty & integrity of the theatre, however having comfortable patrons is what encourages them back.
If your measurements butt to knee are under 50cm you’ll likely have no problem - at 60cm for me, I had to sit quite awkwardly & not great if you get sciatica as unable to put feet flat / angle puts pressure on hips. Everyone in my row had longer legs than me and all were commenting on it being a ‘tight squeeze’ ‘oh this is cosier than I expected!’ Or ‘oh ok built for tinier people then’ type comments as people squeezed in.
Also loved that the theatre did aluminium reusable bottles for water by Re:Water - have been using it since and it’s great (option to recycle in theatre too).
Lots of pluses for the event and theatre, one design flaw which may put a lot of people off.Written 2 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Osher S61 contributionsI recently visited the House of Minalima in London with my mom, and as Harry Potter enthusiasts, we were thrilled! I first heard about it on Instagram and was surprised I hadn’t come across it before. The moment we stepped inside, we felt immersed in the world of Harry Potter. The art and designs, especially the books, were incredible, and it definitely adds to the experience of reading. I ended up buying Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and was delighted to receive a small exclusive book print as a gift, which made my visit even more special.Written 12 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
