Can I take my backpack and camera bag into the theater in London?

We have tickets to see the Lion King at the Lyceum Theater next week. We will be out in London during the morning before the 2pm show so I'll have my camera bag with me or possibly my backpack. Are we allowed to take these into the theater with us? If not, is there somewhere to check them?

What size backpack? Kid's school bag size or backpacking-through-Europe luggage size?

I'd be very surprised if a theatre didn't have a cloakroom where you could leave them.

I mean a small adult backpack (not a big rucksack). Just to carry a camera, rain jacket, etc... It could easily fit at my feet in the theater. I just don't know if they are allowed.

"It could easily fit at my feet in the theater."

They are allowed -- but the seating is quite snug. It sounds like it is about the size of a handbag. If so it will probably fit under your seat. But there are cloak rooms -- if it is any size -- check it.
