Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

Fodor's Review:

This faithful reconstruction of the open-air playhouse where Shakespeare worked and wrote many of his greatest plays re-creates the 16th-century theatergoing experience. Standing room in the "pit" right in front of the stage costs £5. The season runs May through September.

  • Cost: Exhibit admission £9 for exhibition; ticket prices for plays vary (£5-£32)
  • Open: Exhibition May-early Oct., daily 10-5; mid-Oct.-Apr., daily 9-noon and 12:30-5; plays May-early Oct., call for performance schedule
  • Tube: Southwark, then walk to Blackfriars Bridge and descend the steps; Mansion House, then cross Southwark Bridge; Blackfriars, then walk across Blackfriars Bridge; St. Paul's, then cross Millenium Bridge
