Arts & Culture
Sadler’s Wells is London’s premier dance venue. From flamenco to ballet, tango to crunk, tap to bhangra and more, all genres of dancing are covered at this theatre, which is over 300 years old. The auditorium has an approximate capacity of 1,500 over three levels and prices vary according to seats.
There are refreshments provided at the bar and snacks at the outdoor café, but best of all is the restaurant, which has a small yet perfectly formed selection of dishes to appease most palates, from corn fed chicken to comforting fruit crumble, all prepared freshly on the premises
