The Queen’s Theatre is a 507-seat theatre located in Hornchurch.
Hornchurch Urban District Council had purchased a derelict cinema on Station Lane on the site of the present Ripon House development. The converted theatre opened in 1953, the coronation year of Queen Elizabeth II.
A new theatre was opened on Billet Lane - designed by Hallam and Brooks. Performances spaces include a 507-seater Main House end-on theatre and a 100+ seater Foyer Stage. The new Queen’s Theatre was opened by Sir Peter Hall in April 1975.
In 2020 the Theatre won the prestigious London Theatre of the Year Stage Award.
