The Shaw Theatre near both St Pancras Station and Euston Station in London is now part of the 4-star Pullman London St Pancras Hotel.

It is named after the playwright George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) who lived in the King's Cross area in his later life.

The 446-seat theatre opened in 1971. Over the years many famous artists have either performed or rehearsed here. They include musicians Elton John (1972), Linda Lewis (1972), and Queen (1985) and actors Ian McKellen, Mia Farrow, Julia McKenzie, Judi Dench, Dame Flora Robson, Patricia Routledge and Michael Williams.

The theatre now operates as a hire-only venue, open to both artistic and other hires such as auditions, conferences, filming, lectures and workshops.
