The adjacent Swan Theatre is famous for its intimate performance space and the range of theatre it presents. You can wander around the Waterside area which has a lovely riverside walk, a number of restaurants and plenty of public space to enjoy before or after a performance.
The town also has a variety of concerts, cultural festivals, exhibitions and seasonal events throughout the year. Passengers transferring from Central London to Stratford-upon-Avon for a theatre performance can of course plan their arrival to coincide with the start time and venue.

The railway station is within walking distance of the main town-centre shopping streets, although some hotels and attractions are farther away. Local buses serve surrounding villages and residential communities, including areas around Shottery, Tiddington and nearby Warwickshire towns.
The town centre contains several pedestrian-friendly areas, particularly around Henley Street, Bridge Street and the historic attractions. Visitors arriving by car should note that some central streets have access restrictions or limited places to stop.
Best Areas to Stay in Stratford-upon-Avon
Accommodation is all the way from the traditional inn and boutique hotel through to the modern guesthouse, the countryside cottage and the self-catering accommodation. Waterside and the town centre are the areas most popular with visitors coming to see the theatre and the various Shakespeare sites.
