THE PLACE TO BE - THEATRE ROYAL DRURY LANE
For the first time in forever, the EDHEC RDV London will be in a gorgeous theatre, the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, which has become famous for staging some of the most ambitious, breath-taking spectacles seen on a West End stage.
After closing for 2 years to be restored to its former 1812 glory, the theatre reopened in 2021 and it is simply gorgeous!
The EDHEC RDV London will take place in the GRAND SALOON which gives access to a lovely terrasse with the statue of Noël Coward and hopefully lots of sun!
