Jermyn Street Theatre, London

The Jermyn Street Theatre was once the changing rooms for staff of the Getti Restaurant (formerly the Spaghetti House Restaurant) upstairs. In late 1991, Howard Jameson had a vision – to transform the space into a luxury studio theatre in the heart of the West End. Materials, expertise and services to the value of £280,000 were donated by 56 British companies and with major donation from Laings Builders, their challenge was complete. They opened in August 1994. In 1997 their efforts were further rewarded by a National Lottery Grant from the Arts Council of England, enabling them to provide even better facilities for our customers.
