The London Coliseum was built as one of London's largest and most luxurious "family" variety theatres. Opened in 1904, the ambition was to build the largest and finest music hall, described as the "people's palace of entertainment" of its age.

At the time of construction, the Coliseum was one of the few theatres in Europe to provide lifts for taking patrons to the upper levels of the house, and was the first theatre in England to have a triple revolve installed on its stage. The theatre has 2,359 seats making it the largest theatre in London.
