Welcome
Léonie Scott-Matthews founded Pentameters in 1968, now one of the most respected fringe theatres in London. During the last 42 years she has put on hundreds of professional shows from Shakespeare, classic revivals and new plays to alternative comedy, music and poetry events. To celebrate her commitment to the creative arts she was honoured as an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music. As a local Hampstead resident, in 1998 she was given a Camden Good Citizen Award in recognition of out-standing work for the community.
Pentameters Theatre is located above The Horseshoe in the heart of Hampstead village nestled among an abundance of cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs to have pre/post-theatre dinner or drinks. Hampstead is also well-known for its artistic character, offering a supportive, interactive and thriving local community making it an ideal spot to promote live theatre and creative arts events.
