The Pentameters Theatre was founded in 1968 and is 60-seat venue and is a fringe theatre, located above the Three Horseshoes public house in Hampstead.
The theatre has a reputation for producing revivals, poetry, music events and cutting-edge new plays in particular.
The theatre began in a disused skittle alley in the basement of the Freemason’s Arms, Hampstead, in August 1968. It moved to an open-air site and also to the Haverstock Arms before moving to its present location in October 1971. It was founded to present poets reading their work in an informal theatrical pub setting.
