OUR HISTORY
Located in one of London’s most visited
and interesting parts of London, our Covent
Garden home has had a long and varied
history. Thomas Neal MP established the
Seven Dials area in the 1690s, hoping it would
become as popular with well-off residents
as the nearby Piazza. Instead Seven Dials
became one of the most notorious slums
in London, and was later taken over by
workshops and breweries. The building now
housing the Donmar was a vat room and
hop warehouse for a local brewery. By the
1920s the warehouse was used as a silent
film studio, and then the Covent Garden
Market banana ripening-depot. In the 1960s, home for Britain’s most innovative touring

Michael Grandage succeeded Sam Mendes
as Artistic Director in 2002. Under his
tenure, the Donmar began a national touring
programme to reach as many people as
possible across the UK. Productions under
Grandage’s tenure include Frost/ Nixon, Piaf,
