Savoy stage door......

..... Probably a stupid question but where is it?!! Does Lee come out of the front as the theatre is in the "square" with the hotel. Thanks in advance to those who know!

Re: Savoy stage door......

It's down what we call "Smelly Alley" (you'll soon find out why!). As you stand in The Strand, looking towards the Savoy, you will see a pub called "The Cole Hole". There is an alley down a flight of steps to the right of the pub - and at the bottom of the steps, in a sort of courtyard, is the stage door.

You will soon detect the smell of stale chip fat, burnt food and, if move a few paces down the alley, the delightful aroma of the sewers!

Most of the cast come in and leave via this way (although occasionally they use the steps up towards the Savoy, just to confuse everyone!). Good luck.

Thanks AL! Will give it a go next wednesday. Maybe take a clothes peg for my nose?! X

Re: Savoy stage door......

Think it is called something like Carters Lane

Re: Savoy stage door......

Just noticed - can't believe I said Cole Hole - of course, it's COAL Hole!!!

Re: Savoy stage door......

I've made a mistake too. It's Carting Lane.
