High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Royal Strand Theatre was located in the Strand in the City of Westminster. The theatre was built on the site of a panorama in 1832, and in 1882 was rebuilt by the prolific theatre architect Charles J. Phipps. It was demolished in 1905 to make way for Aldwych tube station. From 1801, Thomas Edward Barker set up a rival panorama to his father's in Leicester Square, at 168/9 Strand. On the death of Robert Barker, in 1806, the two panoramas were run jointly until 1830. Their building was then used as a dissenting chapel and was purchased by Benjamin Lionel Rayner, a noted actor in 1832. Raynor engaged Charles Broad to convert and extend the original building as a theatre. This was built in 1832 in 7 weeks, at a cost of 3,000. The theatre opened on 15 January 1832, as Rayner's New Subscription Theatre, with a production of Struggles at Starting.
