The Nell of Old Drury pub, opposite the Theatre Royal
Photo: nellofolddrury.co.ukThe show takes place upstairs in the small, cosy pub opposite the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. You might have seen it on an episode of Michael McIntyre's Big Show, when he did a skit with Joe Lycett.
The pub was named after Nell Gwyn, the witty mistress of King Charles II, who reportedly snuck through a tunnel between the pub and the theatre so they could meet in secret. (They've hunted high and low for the tunnel, but if it did exist then it's gone now!)
These days the pub attracts lots of after-work drinkers and theatre-goers waiting for their show to start.
