Introduction
When you think of the Savoy Hotel, what word comes to mind? Probably luxury! It is, after all, a 5-star, deluxe hotel in London. Indeed, it was the first of its kind in London.
When it opened in 1889, it set new standards for luxury, comfort and service that no one had ever heard of before.
But wait, did the Savoy Hotel comes first or the Savoy Theatre?
The Savoy Theatre
It was, in fact, the theatre, which opened in 1881. Above, you can see the entrance to the Savoy Theatre, which is perpendicular to the Savoy Hotel entrance.
From a distance, the theatre itself isn’t obvious. At present there is an advertisement in red, black and white high up on the left-hand corner building with lights around it, besides a small one on the right-hand side (see top picture). Further along, on the right-hand side there is a vertical sign that you barely notice in daylight.
