HISTORY	Victoria Palace Theatre   There has been a theatre on this site since 1832, well before the coming of the railways.  When Victoria Street and Victoria Station were built, the Royal Standard Music Hall became, in 1886, "the most comfortable Hall of entertainment in London... no expense has been spared." The arrival of electricity and other early 20th century theatrical technology meant that drastic changes were needed.  The oldest licensed music-hall in London was demolished.  Again in 1910, no expense was spared and Frank Matcham's Victoria Palace cost the large sum of £12,000 to build. The Victoria Palace Theatre retains much of its original character, even more so since the auditorium, front of house, and the dressing rooms have recently been refurbished.  The grey marble foyer with its gold mosaic and white Sicilian marble pillars is much as it was in 1911.  Outside the facade, canopy and cupola have recently been restored. The auditorium holds 1550 seats and is fully air-conditioned.  It features a magnificent sliding roof, a simple and still effective precursor of air-conditioning.  Originally the Stalls, Dress Circle and Upper Circle each had their own entrance and their own box office selling pre-printed tickets from a paper plan. The Victoria Palace moved into the new millennium with an adventurous building programme; enlarging the Foyer, WC facilities and increasing the dressing room space, whilst maintaining all the feel and character of an historic building.
