Black and white photograph showing the foyer of the Aldwych Theatre. The photograph is taken from the centre of the space so that three walls are visible. Visible architectural elements include: the fireplace with fluted Ionic colonnettes facing the main entrance; the doors to the cloakrooms; the stairs leading down to the stalls and up to the dress circle; the box office booth (right); and, most notably, the ornate ceiling with plaster mouldings, into which a balustraded circular void has been cut, the void acting as a light-well and leading the eye through to the level above.
