    Olivier Theatre Access

    I LOVE the National Theatre! It's one of the most accessible theatres in London. This particular trip was to see The Father and The Assassin in the Olivier.

    Amazingly accessible theatre - a great place to visit

    I've been to the National Theatre before - but had forgotten how good the access is! Everything from parking to the lifts to the loos - and most importantly the auditorium and the great view from the accessible seats was ace!
