The Regency Theatre, Tottenham Street, Tottenham Court Road, was built
on the site of a concert room. After being renamed several times and
passing through various hands, it was remodelled and became the Prince
of Wales’s theatre under the Bancrofts. They moved to the Haymarket
in 1880. The Prince of Wales’s theatre, after remaining vacant for
years, was occupied by the Salvation Army, and on the site is now
the Scala theatre.
