A quick walk across Millenium bridge from St. Paul’s, the globe theatre was re-built on the site of the original and was opened in 1997. A reconstruction of the original open-air theatres from the 60s, it hosts Shakespearean plays and the season normally runs from May to October and over Christmas. The premises also house an exhibition exploring the life of the famed author, and the best way to explore the space is by signing up for a tour.
