The Gate Theatre is a theatre in London, Camden. In July 2022, it announced a new residence at 26 Crowndale, Camden, London, NW1 TT, following an extensive search for a more accessible home. The new premises offers a wheelchair accessible and step-free performance space with 120 seats, as well as an in-house bar and foyer space. It was originally established above the Prince Albert pub in Notting Hill in 1979. With 75 seats, it was known as the smallest “off-West End” theatre in the city.
