We watched Hansel and Gretal from the Upper Slips. These seats should be illegal. They are incredibly dangerous. Children should not be allowed up there. There are no safety barriers and there is a h… Full review by Melissa B

Great place. Had a coffee and then watched lunchtime performance for free. Then had a lovely lunch outside in their restaurant. Great place to spend an afternoon. Great views of Covent Garden. Full review by M8070SIdeborahm

It seems to me from memory that you should be OK from that position I came here alot years ago when in London, as a matter of course but from my last recent visit I think visibility is OK where you are, you are right website indistinct about some seating and when I booked rigoletto recently had a similar problem I checked with theatre the old fashioned way by phone. But that was a bit of a job too.
Is it possible to meet a dancer/singer after the performance? Thanks

While the amphitheatre bar is under renovation should I assume it won’t really be feasible to manage interval drinks, or are there alternatives where you can pre-order? We have amphitheatre seats and not the end of the world if it’s going to be too far to go to one of the other bars, but I also use a crutch so not very fast to get up/down stairs
