London nightlife is vibrant and full of activities for young and old. London has an enormous variety of night entertainment to please everyone.

What would theatres (plays) in the late 1800s have looked like?
I'm meant to be writing about a theatre (The Haymarket) in 1895. Does anyone know what this would have looked like, or similar theatres (or any theatres!!!) have looked like back then. Thanks.
In 1895, the theatre would have looked very much like the old theatres do nowadays.
It's had fluctuating fortunes and been rebuilt, but by 1895:
"In 1873 matinées were introduced starting at 2.00pm. In May 1875, Sullivan's The Zoo transferred to the Haymarket. In 1879 the house was taken over by the Bancrofts, who re-opened the theatre with a revival of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Money, followed by Victorien Sardou's Odette (for which they engaged Madame Helena Modjeska) and Fedora, and Arthur Wing Pinero's Lords and Commons, with other revivals of previous successes. The auditorium was reconstructed, and the stage enclosed in a complete picture frame proscenium. The abolition of the pit by the introduction of stalls seating divided by plain iron arms caused a small riot.
Herbert Beerbohm Tree transferred from the Comedy Theatre with The Red Lamp in 1887. He took over upon the retirement of the Bancrofts and installed electric light in the theatre. Under Tree's management, Oscar Wilde premiered his first comedy A Woman of No Importance in April 1893. In January 1895 Wilde's An Ideal Husband was first performed. Tree's next notable hit was George du Maurier's Trilby, later in 1895. This ran for over 260 performances and made such profits that Tree was able to build Her Majesty's Theatre and establish RADA."

I hope this helps a bit.
(PS - there's also Her Majesty's Theatre in the Haymarket)
