Globe Theatre

The Globe Theatre is located on the South Bank of the River Thames at 21 New Globe Walk, London SE1 9DT. The closest stations are Blackfriars, Mansion House, Southwark, and London Bridge, all within a 10–15 minute walk. Many bus routes and the Thames Clipper riverboat also stop nearby.

The Globe offers accessible seating, step-free entrances to parts of the building, lifts to upper levels, accessible toilets, and captioned and signed performances on selected dates.

Aim to arrive 30 minutes before the show starts to allow time for security checks, finding your seat, and exploring the theatre. This also gives you time to explore the merchandise stands inside the theatre for exclusive show-related items like T-shirts, mugs, posters, and cast recordings.

Once, theatre outings meant formalwear, but that's changed. Now, you can wear what feels good to you. Keep in mind you’ll be sitting for a while, and theatres can get cold, so a jacket’s handy. That said, it’s still a special outing, so dressing up is welcome.

There are bars and kiosks in the main building and in the courtyard serving snacks, hot and cold drinks, and light meals. The Swan pub and restaurant is also on-site if you wish to have a meal before or after your show.

There is an on-site shop where you can purchase books, themed gifts, costumes, and other unique Shakespeare souvenirs.
