What is the Average Salary for Theater Actors in London's East End?

Theater actors' salaries in London's East End depend upon whether they are members of the trade union Equity. In addition, the East End has fewer theaters than the more popular West End, and salaries tend to be lower than in the rest of London.

  1. Equity Salaries

    • Actors who fall under Equity have an average annual salary of 25,000 Great Britain Pounds ($38,000 USD) based on September 2010 exchange rates. The minimum Equity pay is 18,200 GBP ($28,000 USD).

    Non-Equity Salaries

    • There is no minimum pay for non-Equity actors as they work to get enough experience to earn an Equity membership. The average pay for non-Equity actors is as little as 150 GBP ($300 USD) per week.

    Future of London's East End

    • London's East End will be the location of the 2012 London Olympics. This will result in higher tourist traffic, which could result in higher pay for actors.
