The Britannia Theatre (1841–1900) was located at 115/117 High Street Hoxton London. The theatre was badly damaged by a fire in 1900. The site was reused as a Gaumont cinema from 1913 to 1940 when this too was destroyed. The site is marked by a London Borough of Hackney historic plaque.A typical night’s entertainment would include 3–4 plays with variety acts in the intervals between.
