#4989 Old Sadler's Wells, London The birthplace of English ballet dates back to when a Plié Plié was first performed, and a stage was first walked upon. Originally, Old Sadler’s Wells began as a pleasure garden in North London's Islington. Around 1683, the first theatre, called the Musick House, was established. Due to the laws at the time that limited 'straight' drama, the venue focused on dance and performative arts, building a reputation that has lasted over three centurie
