I think you may be thinking of the Hippodrome. That`s right next to
Leciester Square. It`s a bit of a walk from Charing Cross to the Astoria.
The Astoria is right on top (almost literally) of Tottenham Court Road Tube
station. That would be the one to aim for by train as it`s literally 30
seconds from the tube exit. And Tottenham Court Road is on the Northern line
which is useful for connections.
