We thank our colleague for spotting and snapping this on a recent visit to the ENO. It's located on the landing by the dress circle bar.
Site: London Coliseum (3 memorials)
WC2, St Martin's Lane, London Coliseum
The SWET plaque is outside. To see the bust, walk to the back of the foyer, turn right, through a door, the bust is immediately on your left. The Matcham plaque is on the landing for the dress circle bar.
The 1950 film Night and the City shows Richard Widmark entering Brydges Place, the extremely narrow passage immediately to the south of this site.
