Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

  Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, situated along the South Bank of the River Thames, is a modern reconstruction of the original Elizabethan playhouse where many of Shakespeare's plays were performed. Opened in 1997, this iconic venue captures the essence of the theatrical experience of the 1600s, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of Shakespearean drama. Visitors can take guided tours to explore its thatched roof and circular design, or enjoy open-air performances during the summer months, particularly from April to October. Unique to this venue, the standing area, called the Yard, allows audiences to engage with the performance much like they would have in Shakespeare’s time. With its evocative atmosphere and rich history, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre remains a cornerstone of London's cultural landscape.
