Time Out says

Islington’s hallowed Sadler’s Wells might be London’s only dedicated major dance theatre, but that’s set to change in 2025 when its 550-seat sister venue Sadler’s Wells East opens in Stratford. It’s a boon not only to dance lovers but also to London: considering the number of major theatres the city has, modern dance struggles to get much of a foothold in this city, with the big ballet companies by far the most visible aspect of the genre. A whole second Sadler’s is a serious cultural statement, more or less doubling the amount of interesting contemporary dance work appearing on London stages.
