The '''London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art''' ('''LAMDA''') is a leading [[United Kingdom|British]] [[drama school]] in west [[London]].

In the 1880s the academy began offering speech examinations to the public and since then these examinations have been refined and developed into a comprehensive system of performance evaluation.<ref name=Lamda/>

Always based in West London, LAMDA moved into Tower House in Earls Court in 1946, (where it was until 2003). The MacOwan Theatre was custom-built as a performing space for LAMDA a couple of streets away in 1963.<ref>[http://www.genesisfoundation.org.uk/content/history-lamda History of LAMDA, Genesis Foundation].</ref>
