Astley's Amphitheatre
Astley's Amphitheatre was a performance venue in London opened by Philip Astley in 1773, considered the first modern circus ring. It was burned and rebuilt several times, and went through many owners and managers. Despite no trace of the theatre remaining today, a memorial plaque was unveiled in 1951 at its site at 225 Westminster Bridge Road. That wooden plaque, attached to a wall on the Thames Embankment, has long since disappeared. On 14 September 2018, on the initiative of Martin 'Zippo' Burton of Zippo's Circus, a commemorative 'paver' or flagstone was inaugurated in the garden of St Thomas's Hospital, a reminder that Astley's once stood on that spot. History The Amphitheatre opened in 1773. The structure was burned down in 1794, then rebuilt in less than seven months before being destroyed by fire again in 1803. The Amphitheatre was again rebuilt, this time in the style of rival Charles Hughes's Royal Circus with lavish decorations and reputedly the largest stage i ...

In 2013, Astley Castle won the Royal Institute of British Architects Stirling Prize for architecture, as an "exceptional example" of the blending of an ancient monument with modern architecture.
