What to expect
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
1h · Admission ticket included
The original Globe existed a short two blocks away from Sam Wanamaker's wonderful replica. Your guide will take you to the original site as well as escort you into the Globe where you will enjoy the official in-house tour of the Globe. Fascinating!
Golden Hinde
10m
This is a life-size model of the original Golden Hinde that Sir Francis Drake sailed around the world in 1577. He was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth who was both Drake's and Shakespeare's queen.
South Bank
3h
Our tour takes place in what Londoners call SOUTH BANK. In Shakespeare's time this was the " Las Vegas " of London where activities such as bull-baiting and theatre could legally take place, unlike in the CITY of London on the other side of the Thames, where the puritan city fathers considered theatre to be the " work of the devil".
Winchester Palace

The ruins are here and it was the Bishop of Winchester who was the owner of all the land on South Bank at the time, including the pubs, the brothels and the theatres as well.
Southwark Anglican Cathedral

Will Shakespeare and his brother Edmond ( who is buried here ) both would have worshipped here. Today, the Cathedral has a very active Church of England congregation and is where many community concerts, etc. take place. Your guide will how you the Harvard University chapel as well as the beautiful Shakespeare stained-glass window.
Borough Market
30m
Our guide will take you into London's famous Borough Market, which goes back to Elizabethan times and is a place that Shakespeare would undoubtedly have been familiar with, as for may years he lived in the area.
