What visitors say
I attended the Unicorn theatre for a school trip with my child’s school and I was impressed by their coordination and ability to heard crowds of small children with pose and patience. The facilities are great, toilets, cafe and lifts to support accessibility were all available and easy to use. We watched “The Lion Inside” and it wad incredible. The actors were amazing and music was catchy and kept the children fully engaged throughout. Unicorn Theatre is an absolute credit to central London and gave a fantastic core memory for our littles!

We've seen two plays at the Unicorn Theatre so far - one I would rate three stars, and the other definitely five-star worthy. The first play was "Santa Went Down the Chimney." The first half felt somewhat lacking in story, with a few jokes here and there, but I sensed that most children, including my own, became a bit bored. The second half was better; however, I think the play was missing some charm. Additionally, in one scene, a mouse was thrown on the floor, and I noticed that several children, including my child, seemed upset by this. Overall, it wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either. Now, onto "Your Toys"—definitely one of the best kids theatre productions we've seen so far. The story was intriguing, and the music complemented it beautifully. My child was absolutely delighted to see his toy become part of the show. It was funny, exciting, and kept him engaged throughout. He’s still talking about it afterward! The theatre itself was well-organized, with comfortable seats and friendly, helpful staff. We’re looking forward to seeing more wonderful plays in the future.

This cozy little theatre near London Bridge offers comfortable seating. I recommend sitting in row A in the stalls for the best view. We saw 'The Koala Who Could,' which was a charming and funny show. My friends loved it so much that we had to buy the book they were selling afterwards. She's already looking forward to coming back for another performance. The staff were friendly and professional.

I have been here a few times now with my son - he is currently 3. There are a big mix of shows, and always something for every age. We recently saw 'Squirrel', and he absolutely loved it! The stages are perfect size for kids, and the facilities here are great, too. We will be back in a few months for 'The Lion Inside'. This is honestly such a great gem for any London families. I fully recommend it! If you think a show is expensive, look at a few others - the prices really vary.
