About
Park Theatre is the brainchild of Artistic Director, Jez Bond, and Creative Director, Melli Marie, who – following a six year London-wide search for a building – discovered a vacant office block next to Finsbury Park station in 2010. Garnering support from the theatre community at large – including luminaries such as Ian McKellen and Alan Rickman, the press and, importantly, local residents – they set out to raise the necessary funds to convert the tired concrete building into a thriving new theatre and beacon for the community. At a cost of just £2.6 million, the building, designed by David Hughes Architects, opened in May 2013 to rave reviews from the critics.

We saw Time and Tide last night in Park 90, the smaller of the two theatres. Seating is on three sides of a floor level stage. A fantastic venue with two bar areas, and the play was funny, powerful and intimate. The four characters were brilliantly portrayed. We will definitely be returning...

We’re so lucky to live near the Park Theatre and have never seen a duff show yet... the last one we saw, the musical Rags, was absolutely superb. I’m always amazed at the inventiveness and quality of the shows in such a small venue. It’s a real treasure.

We travelled from Ireland to see a show which had been highly recommended. We were not disappointed the show was epic. The theater was lovely, great staff and a well stocked bar. The only issue was the lack of Bar staff in order to serve the patrons seeking a drink before and midway through the performance. I will be back again for another performance soon...

Most recently, I attended the Maureen Lipman performance of 'Rose' and was reminded what a good theatre it is. You are always close to the action and the seating is well raked.
I find the interval crush at the bar off-putting and avoid it, I'm afraid.

Saw La Cage au Folles at the Park this weekend. What a brilliant little theatre. 200 seats in the main theatre and 90 in the other. You feel part of the action and sometimes actually are! Two bars so no queueing for a drink or ice cream tub at half time. Food is available too.

Loved 'The last temptation of Boris JOHNSON' - definitely not to be missed. Our first visit to this theatre and won't be the last. Very close to the action wherever you are seated. We attended the matinee and was surprised the bar was closed - too early for some perhaps! Highly recommend both the play and the theatre.

I visited The Park Theatre for the first time to see Intra Muros {a superb production, thought provoking and well worth seeing, with excellent acting, sound and music} and what a gem this theatre is.

Shabby chic decor with comfy sofa's and chairs, exposed brick and really hip vibe, everything is of the highest quality {The Young Vic could learn a thing or two from this venue on how shabby chic is done well}.

There were two bar and eatery area's I noticed on the ground floor and the first floor so it's a great place for people to meet before and after shows.

The stage was central with the audience on three sides. My seat was B17 so perfect for me and even though I don't like the long seats with numbers {as larger or less considerate patrons require armrest to grid out whose seat is whose} I could not complain at all. I had ample room for my bag and water bottle by my feet and there was room underneath it too.

The ladies toilets I visited on the top floor and lower ground were clean, modern and efficient and though I hate the smell of bleach, at least I knew they were cleaned regularly.

Finsbury Park Station {Victoria & Piccadilly Lines} is the closest station.If you exit via the main entrance, facing some bus stops, turn left which will see you walking under all the over ground train lines, the next left takes you into the bus depot,walk into that and your first right is Clifton Terrace. You can see PARK in bold letters in the near distance on the opposite side of the street and you're there. It's less than a 4 minute walk from the station so is as easy as anything.

A really great venue, I'll be back for more innovate productions very soon.

Have been coming to this theatre for years and to see quality productions, however, last night, they really were outstanding. Not only was the production excellent but the staff went above and beyond to make our daughter's birthday a really memorable one, with really delicious food - thank you

This is a gem of a place. New writing and fresh talent presented in a small venue. Close to Finsbury Station. There is street parking which is free after 6.30. Parking a bit impractical when Arsenal are playing which is fine really as it means you won’t bump into Arsenal loving Piers Morgan.

Genevieve Gaunt was very funny in Monogamy which has a slow first half and a funny second.
