Guide dogs and assistance dogs

Guide dogs and assistance dogs are welcome inside the auditorium, although we are always delighted to look after your guide or assistance dog during the show – the choice is yours.

We will provide your dog with a water bowl, and can take them for walks during the show.

Surtitles at the London Coliseum

For English National Opera performances, even though they sing opera in English, they use one screen above the stage to project English surtitles (not to be confused with subtitles, although they are more or less the same thing) so that your eyes can pick up what your ears might have missed. There are some seats in the London Coliseum where the view of the surtitles screen is restricted.

The screens used at the London Coliseum are black with yellow writing.

Parking near the London Coliseum

There are limited accessible parking in St Martin’s Lane and in Charing Cross Road. However, these do get snapped up very quickly so we don’t recommend that you rely solely on them.

You can book your central London parking in advance at the following Q-Park car parks: Burlington, Chinatown, Leicester Square, Marble Arch, Park Lane and Pimlico.
