The Bridge Theatre is a new commercial theatre building near Tower Bridge in London, due to open on 18 October 2017. It has been developed by Nick Starr and Nicholas Hytner and is the residency of their founded London Theatre Company, following their tenancy as executive director and artistic director, respectively, at the National Theatre.

The theatre will seat 900 and be a flexible space to accommodate each production—for example the opening production Young Marx will be a traditional proscenium arrangement, Julius Caesar will have the stalls seating removed and be in promenade to allow the audience to be part of the mob within the play, and Nightfall will be performed on a thrust stage. It was reported that the theatre had cost £12million to build.

The opening season of the Bridge Theatre will include:
