There has been a theatre at this site since 1806 when The Sans Pareil Theatre opened. It then went through a number of refurbishments, and name changes, becoming The Adelphi Theatre in 1819 and then The Theatre Royal, Adelphi in 1829. Although the theatre was popular during the 1820s, the building fell into disrepair by the 1850 and was therefore demolished to make way for the new 1,500 seater theatre which opened in December 1858, keeping the previous name of The Theatre Royal, Adelphi, although within 10 years the name was changed to The Royal Adelphi Theatre.
