"It has always punched above its weight... A bright star with a brighter future." - Dame Joanna Lumley

King’s Head Theatre is an Off-West End theatre in Islington that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community, onstage and off. As well as platforming LGBTQ+ theatre, we programme a wide range of plays and musicals, alongside a cabaret programme including drag and comedy.

Established in 1970, the old King’s Head Theatre was the longest-running pub theatre in London. The venue operated for 53 years, housed in the back room of the King’s Head Pub on Upper Street. 

The new King’s Head Theatre was opened on the 5th January 2024, under the leadership of current Executive Producer Sofi Berenger. Since opening, the new venue has worked with artists such as  Drag Race finalist Ella Vaday (Nick Collier), playwright/journalist Jonathan Maitland, musical theatre stars Luke Bayer, Rob Madge, and Lauren Ward, and writer/actress Rosie Day.
