Theatre digs – accommodation for actors and other entertainment professionals

Outlet is located in the heart of London’s theatreland and since we began we’ve provided short term accommodation for numerous actors and other theatre professionals. We like to call it our Theatre Desk!

Anyone in the industry knows that booking your own digs, sorting out what’s on the market and if it’s available, can be a nightmare. And with over 40 theatres in the West End alone, you’re also up against a lot of competition (the casts of some big musicals could practically fill the auditoriums of smaller venues by themselves). But, to paraphrase Shakespeare, methinks you shouldn’t protest too much – help is at hand.

Here at Outlet, we can find you the right digs for however long you need them, whether it’s weekly rep, a short run, an extended run…or an expected long run that turns out to be a short one ?.

We’ll also make sure it’s as low-cost as possible, but also convenient for where you’re working. Much of what we can offer is in or around theatreland itself, or we can find you somewhere a little further out, but with easy travel connections.

In each case, we’ll ensure everything is sorted, quickly and efficiently. We’ve got a big contact list of landlords who offer theatre digs, and we do all we can to ensure everyone’s happy.
