  LONDON'S LOST THEATRES
The New London comes to mind when thinking of how not to replace a Theatre, but don't forget that it's only a short few years ago that the Savoy Theatre, having been completely gutted by fire, was rebuilt magnificently, and to a former design too.
So when I set out to put down some stories of the lost London theatres and some of the players who trod their boards, I had to make up my mind which were really lost.
More modern theatres named after some of these may help to recall their former triumphs, but they have not hitherto produced anything or anybody which the theatrical history of a future generation will care to note with more than a few passing words.

 Guardian | Old Vic and New London theatres top wish list as home for RSC
Top of its wish list are the Old Vic at Waterloo - a theatre thick with ghosts of RSC glories past - and Andrew Lloyd Webber's slightly less gilded New London on Drury Lane, home for most of the past 20 years to the composer's musical cash cow Cats, based on TS Eliot's poems.
While the Old Vic, which is run by a starry trust including the actor Kevin Spacey under the gavel of producer Sally Greene, has tradition and a well-known location on its side, its bars and front-of-house are pokey, and it desperately needs a new roof.
The New London, a former TV studio, may be utilitarian and dull, but it does have plenty of bar and entertaining space, and, crucially, it is a theatre in the round, which would allow the RSC to bring productions from Stratford relatively unaltered.
