I was wondering if anyone knew where it was located? As I'm going to see an act in the next few days and afterwards would like to meet the Artists and maybe get their Autographs?

Hopefully some lovely people out there would be able to impart some good advice :)

Many thanks in advance.

It is actually on the main road/waterloo station side of the building just at the bottom of the steps and is actually sign posted (I think it says 'talent entrance' or some such).  There's actually a layby in the road for cars to drop off directly opposite it.

It looks like a plain, grey old fire exit door when shut - if it's a big act that might attract attention around that door then they have a number of other entrances that they no doubt use.

Here's a picture from google maps:

When we're at it, can anyone please advise me as to where the stage door of the Olivier thatre is? I know there's three theatres in the National Thatre area, but I don't know if each of them has its own stage door and so on. Thanks!

They all share the same stage door, it has a sign above it saying 'Stage Door' funnily enough :)

If you walk around the outside of the building it is on the riverside corner near the underground car park - you can't miss it, it's probably the biggest stage door reception of any theatre.

This is what it looks like (not my picture):

Thank you, I found this earlier, but didn't know it was for all three of them. Now I do :)

Unfortunately though there are so many exits from that place not all actors use the stage door. It remains one of my least favourite places to get an autograph from - plus it can be bloody cold if the wind's blowing!
