Astley's Amphitheatre was a performance venue in London opened by Philip Astley in 1773, considered the first modern circus ring.[1] 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.[2]
