About Southwark Playhouse Borough
Southwark Playhouse Borough is an off-West End fringe theatre complex in London’s SE1, known for intimate, dynamic productions. Since 2023, Borough operates as a two-venue setup alongside the Elephant venue, offering flexible seating configurations and a diverse lineup from new writing to contemporary classics. Whether you’re catching a main-stage transfer like KenREX or the intimate works in The Little, we’ve got you covered for tickets, directions, and nearby stays and dining.
Plan your visit with ease: no on-site parking at the venues, but nearby pay-and-display and NCP options are convenient. Borough and Elephant & Castle Tube stations serve the area, with numerous bus routes along Newington Causeway. For stays, consider Travelodge London Central Elephant & Castle (87 Newington Causeway) or Ibis Styles London Southwark near Borough Market. We’ll help you find seats and tickets, along with trusted hotel and restaurant partners to make your trip smooth from start to finish.
