The Theatre Royal Haymarket in London was rebuilt by John Nash around 1820 and 1821 as part of wider Haymarket improvements. A lease dated June 10, 1821 went to David Edward Morris. The infobox gives July 4, 1821 as the opening of the current building and 1720 as the start of its active years, which the text ties to an earlier theatre. The text says Nash may have used existing buildings, so a full rebuild is disputed.
The exterior is Neoclassical, with a pedimented portico of six Corinthian columns. C. Stanley Peach redesigned the auditorium in Louis XVI style in 1904. The infobox lists 888 seats on four levels. The article gives no materials.
It was listed Grade I in 1970. Access Entertainment bought it in 2019 for a reported 45 million pounds, and the Crown Estate holds the freehold. The article gives no hours.
