A jewel of East London, Hackney Empire is a Grade II* listed theatre at 291 Mare Street, London E8 1EJ. Opened in 1901 and designed by Frank Matcham, the auditorium blends gilded Edwardian detail with a modern production backbone, creating a stage that flatters stand-up, live music and big family nights alike.
The Empire’s calendar ranges from cutting-edge comedy to opera, dance and its beloved Christmas pantomime, often starring Olivier-winning panto icon Clive Rowe. Rising comics cut their teeth here at the New Act of the Year Show (NATYS), while established names return for one-off specials and curated variety bills. Expect warm acoustics, sharp sightlines and the kind of room that lets a punchline land in the balcony.
With around 1,275 seats, multiple bars and step-free access, the venue is built for comfort and atmosphere. It sits a short walk from Hackney Central and Hackney Downs Overground stations, with plenty of pre-show spots nearby for a quick bite or drink.
