It was rechristened as the Strand Theatre in 1913 before being given its current name in 2005 by its present owners. Its present name has been in honour of Ivor Novello, the multi-talented theatre star of the twentieth century, who resided in one of the flats above the venue from 1913 until his death in 1951.

Novello Theatre London Boasting Its Remarkable Existence

Origin 

Novello Theatre

Novello Theatre London is one of the most remarkable theatres of London. Initially the theatre was built as a pair to the neighbouring Aldwych Theatre and services of notable theatre architect W.G.R. Sprague were hired for the designs of both the houses. The Waldorf hotel stood between the two venues and initially the building was named after the same. Today it is one of the prominent landmarks of Aldwych and is located at the ‘home of theatre’, the City of Westminster, London.

Name changes

The theatre like most of its counterparts in London has undergone many name changes. The theatre on its opening day was named the Waldorf Theatre and then the Strand Theatre in 1909. In 1911 it was renamed as the Whitney Theatre before again being known as the Strand Theatre in 1913. It was called the Strand until 2005, when its present owners decided to name it after Ivor Novello. The multi talented Novello resided in one of the flats about the venue from 1913 to his death in 1951.
