A unique experience to be in such a theater! It is completely different from all the theater buildings you have seen so far. It is open in the center and the seats are all around wood, you can get cushions to sit more comfortably at extra cost. The plays that are played are of course all of Shakespeare. I highly recommend it. We had a great time even though it was a little cold.

We went on a short guided tour but unfortunately didn't have time to watch a play. The experience would have probably been better if we had. The tour was fun and informative, and I think worth it, otherwise you won't be able to see the inside of the theater. The gift shop is also worth a browse. Found these miniature books and just had to have them!

What can I say about this place! Amazing theatre with a rich history and absolutely stunning performances. Watched 4 plays already - Julius Caesar, Midsummer night’s dream, Macbeth and As you like it. All the plays had an amazing cast, amazing costumes and were beautifully played. Love the yard standing area - I think it’s the best way to watch Shakespeare plays at the Globe. Just £5 tickets and you feel like being part of the play rather than in the audience, with all action happening around you. It’s one of the things only London can offer and I recommend watching a play here for anyone visiting London! Book your tickets in advance on the Globe website as the yard tickets generally sell out very quickly. Also it’s open air, so do dress for the weather!

Great experience and lovely recreation of a major historical location. Dress for the outdoor weather and use a cushion (or two!) if you are in the seats and you’ll have a great time. Many seats have partially obscured views, so sit facing the stage for best results, but it’s still a great place to see a show no matter where you sit.

We watched a 90 minute version of Macbeth here. Superbly done. The dread and horror were palpable in this classic tale of fate, ambition, power, and vengeance, just like it should be. The theater is a treasure, but like most treasures the seating is for people with shorter legs. The "cheap seats" are for those who stand next to the stage.

I finally made it here after missing out 17 years ago. We booked a tour and even my 11 and 13 year old thoroughly enjoyed it and we were pleasantly surprised to get to see some rehearsal of a play! Arrive early enough to explore the historical walk inside and don't forget to check out the gift shop. Next time we are in London we hope to catch a performance.

Our guide (Gerald) was EXEMPLARY~!~! He provided such personalized and intimate communication of all sorts of information about the Globe. He included historical memorabilia, personable anecdotes, funny stories, and interacted quite well with the audience. The theater came to life via his presentation, and allowed an insider's look at the entire venue. Highly recommended.

Visited The Globe Theatre today and I must admit I'm not a huge Shakespeare fan, but my wife is and this was part of her birthday celebrations. We had booked a guided tour and our group was made up of 5 people. Our guide was totally amazing!!!!! I really can't stress that enough. She was engaging, hilarious and incredibly knowledge. As a non Shakespeare"fan", I was a little reticent as I thought I'd be really bored, however our guide really made it enjoyable. The building is totally amazing and I am looking to visit to see a show. I may get become a fan

The guided tour was very informative and engaging. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the staff was very friendly. The tour takes about an hour. My 5 yr old and 2 yr old stayed engaged and enjoyed seeing the old theatre. There was also a sword fighting demonstration we attended. The knowledge and skills displayed were incredible. Highly recommend.

Great experience! Definitely worth going👍 It is an open air theatre so make sure wrap up warm in the winter. The yard tickets cost only 5 pound but you had to stand up during the entire show, not recommended for tourists who have done a lot walking 🚶‍♂️ They also offer theatre workshops for children, don’t miss it!

Watched Hansel and Gretal, 1st night. No rain and sat under the covers with cushions. Great atmosphere. Contemporary play and was expecting a more traditional play. Not always easy to hear. The Narrator was the best and he was covering due to staff illness. Dressed warmly. A fun night and a lovely first visit.

Great venue, authentic reproduction of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. Very atmospheric and plays are a high standard. Would highly recommend, for theatre buffs it’s a must for everyone else it is a great experience.

place doesnt even exist

Get a £5 pound standing ticket at least. Really amazing experience for so little. Super cool to watch the crowd and be so close to the actors. We did the guided tour as well which was awesome as well.

(Translated by Google) Emblematic place, which you cannot help but admire, if you are a lover of literature in general. Living monument to one of the greatest universal geniuses of letters. You will almost certainly pass through it because this area on the right bank always has a lot of atmosphere and is full of terraces. (Original) Emblemático lugar, que no puedes por más que admirar, si eres amante de la literatura en general. Monumento viviente a uno de los más grandes genios universales de las letras. Pasarás por él casi seguro porque esta zona de la margen derecha tiene siempre mucho ambiente y está llena de terrazas.

Just brilliant. We visited in February (so the indoor one). Othello was brilliant. Great modern re-telling of the story which made you want to grab Othello and scream "no Othello don't listen to him, no". Well done to the brilliant cast 👏🏻. Felt every punch, slap and emotion. Poor Desdemona - ouch.

Beautiful and historic theatre. The employees are very friendly and helpful. We went to see Hansel and Gretel and stood for £5. Unfortunately it started to rain during the second act so we got a bit wet. The acting was excellent and it was an interesting retelling of a classic story.

Take a trip back in time with Shakespeare's globe. This theatre, built in 1997, has been painstakingly recreated to look like it would of done in the 1600s. You can take a guided tour behind the scenes, or watch one of Shakespeare's many plays. Don't forget to look at the museum with lots of props and costumes. Some of the many objects in the museum are a old book from Shakespeare's time, a dress a actor war, and a shop. As I said in my big ben review, it is a good theatre to visit. If you visit London, try to see this. Also in the museum, there is a model of London in the olden days.

We went to see Hansel and Gretel with our 7 year old and 7 month-old and had a great time! Sat in the middle gallery and although it was December, we were lucky to have 10C weather and didn't feel too cold. Dress for the weather?

(Translated by Google) Beautiful is very impressive. (Original) Bellissimo è molto suggestivo.

Very Historic and I had a great tour guide

I pooped

The place is of a great and astonishing history, and it is what left from the 16th century and the first rounded theatre in the world! It has the chairs of the rich and the space for the poor, also, it doesn’t have curtains, and it’s as mentioned in art history books! However, I booked the guided tour and I can say that the guide ruined the experience since she actually started from the 1900s and her tone was not attaching at all. I guess a better guide would make the experience way better!

We went on the tour of the Globe, and it was truly one of my favorite experiences in London. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and passionate about Shakespeare. I could feel her energy and passion as she spoke about the history behind the Globe. Additionally, I loved the gift shop. There were so many things that I wanted to buy, but there was a limited amount of space in my suitcase that I had to be mindful of. If I'm ever able to return to London, I will revisit this place.

(Translated by Google) One of the most vivid museums I've ever seen. The Shakespeare's Globe! Including a faithfully reproduced round stage. However, the tour is in English and the audio guide is only for volume. The museum section is also very interesting. Gift shop included, you can get some very nice souvenirs here! With which the theater also supported. Entry is included in the London Pass. (Original) Eines der anschaulichsten Museum das ich je gesehen habe. Das Shakespeare's Globe! Inklusive orginalgetreu nachgebauter rund Bühne. Allerdings ist die Führung auf Englisch und das Audioguide ist nur für die Lautstärke gedacht. Der Museumsabschnitt ist ebenso sehr interessant gestaltet. Geschenkeshop inbegriffen, man bekommt hier ein paar sehr schöne Souvenirs! Mit dem an auch das Theater unterstützt. Der Eintritt ist im London Pass inbegriffen.

My Husband and I went to see Romeo and Juliet. A brilliant performance by all. Definitely worth seeing.

Awesome experience. The modern twists made it feel more like it would have back in the day. Highly recommend

Utterly indescribable how good the performance of Romeo and Juliet was. The actors make Shakespeare so accessible and easy to understand... That's an understatement. They make it extremely enjoyable, engaging and gripping. I had goosebumps several times and tears in my eyes at the end. God it's good to go to the theatre again.

First time here. Saw Romeo and Juliet Was nice to go back to the theatre after COVID. Not many wearing masks but felt it was safe still as it’s open air. When the actors went into the crowds they wore masks which was clever. The play was very good and connected an old classic with modern themes. A cool way to do it!

The love and care taken with the faithful recreation of The Bards work filled me with a warm feeling of gratitude. I'm indebted to the people that made it possible to experience the globe theater both via a tour and a play. I loved every minute of it! I only wish I'd had more time in London to go see more of the shows. One of the absolute highlights of London! Lauren (our newbie your guide) was highly entertaining, knowledge and positively dripping with charm and poise. I'll treasure the memories for years. If you come to see a play, rent a cushion 😉

Really neat venue and absolutely incredible performances! I watched Pericles and was a bit unsure prior to the performance, since I’d never heard of this play before. However, I had nothing to worry about - the cast did a wonderful job and the play itself was a delightful mix of drama and comedy. If you get standing room tickets, arrive about 30 minutes early to get a good spot :)

Easy to book tickets online. Helpful staff. Great shows. I had taken a standing ticket for Midsummer Nights Dream. Good visibility from standing area and comfortable. Staff were handing out paper caps to protect us from sunlight. It is an outdoors theatre so come hydrated and wear sunscreen! Only so called problem would be the somewhat expensive gift shop. Wound up not getting anything.

This is a replica of the original Globe theatre, used by William Shakespeare to stage many of his plays for the first time. It includes the small Wannamaker theatre and a museum and gift shop. It is on the bank of the Thames, near where the original theatre stood, but in Elizabethan times, the river was much wider.

A beautiful place. If you are a Shakespeare fan, this is a must. Be warned, If you go for a play during cold weather, You WILL be cold. If it rains, you will get wet. It is open air. Highly recommend paying for cushions and blankets, They are cheap enough. Some people may need something to prop their feet up on when sitting in the theater as the bench seats are quite high (use your own bag or coat). There are no backs to the seats as they are basically benches. This is an immersion experience. This is how people viewed Shakespeare during his time. The gift shop is full of really cool merchandise. I easily spent more than a hundred pounds there. Workers are all friendly and helpful. Bathrooms easily accessible, although the doorways are quite thin. There is a very good pub adjacent to theater, called the Swan, with a great view across the river of Saint Paul's.

I was there but did not enter in the museum, too expensive but the are around was good and the shop is quite good. Beautiful memory of a great man.

Loved it. Modern twist on Shakespeare. We saw As You Like It. Do not expect to understand the costumes.. but it makes it all the more appealing. Great audience interaction and free apples! Had a great time... Booked Macbeth for the next week!

If you're a Shakespeare nerd this is a must visit place! Awesome ambiance and a great look into how a theater would be made and staged in Elizabethan times. The staff is very helpful and the actors are as good as you would hope.

Balls, Nuts even.

Fabulous! Booked to see Hansel and Gretal. Not what we expected, a more alternative production, but very funny! It was our first time going there(I have always wanted to go to see a production there), so it's very worthwhile. We were lucky to see two television actresses, but all the actors were truly good, and we thoroughly enjoyed the production. Remember, during the colder months, this is an outside theatre. Take a light blanket and wrap up warm!!! You can rent cushions to sit on for £3, but be aware it is wooden seating. The theatre itself is a real work of art! You can walk in on the day and pay for cheap tickets, but you will be standing during the whole production. They sometimes use the standing area to move around sets. Very fun, but just be aware. Nice outside cafe, good hot drinks and there is also a restaurant/cafe indoors in the new building to sit down and eat. Great little shop, but it's expensive, a tourist hotspot . There are a few bits of costume/props from different productions on display (They could really set up a larger permanent costume display, I think it would be interesting. My little one loved the few bits that they had displayed! He found it very interesting). All in all, a good afternoon out. Lovely views of the Thames and St. Paul's. Loads of places to eat out and Borough Market on the doorstep, what's not to love!

We will be back. Fascinating history. Great tour guide. Highly recommended

Amazing to see one of Shakespeare plays here at the globe very special experience

My first experience of staged Shakespeare .. Certainly won't be the last. Fantastic atmosphere Memorable event.

What a memorable afternoon. Romeo and Juliet and the best seats in the house. A perfect way to spend an October day such an historic building. I was full of awe and wonderment.

This is an amazing historical building. The play we saw was very well done and it was truly a magical experience to see one of Shakespeare’s plays in the Globe Theater. We saw a performance of King John. The actors did a very good job. The seats we had were on the balcony and we had a great view of the whole production.

What a transport back in time! We had top balcony seats and I could not have been happier. Just a heads up, the play is 3+ hours long and I think it would have been worth springing for the cushion. The performance had a stand in reading for King Lear and he was absolutely magnificent - I cannot imagine what the actual actor could have done to have topped it!

We went to see Romeo and Juliet. Great modern performance from a youthful cast, while keeping the lingo authentic. There were several links to modern mental health issues that tied into the story, which I thought was inspired. A great experience.

Great experience. We came and watched Midsummer Night's Dream after being inspired to do so during a tour earlier in the year. We sat in the upper gallery and had a great view, but not always easy to hear. Nonetheless very enjoyable.

Comfortable theatre. The souvenir shop has good collection. The cafe/bar on the corner is perfect spot to unwind.

Great place! Had inside and outside theatre. We enjoyed the play inside and luckily we booked that one as the weather was rather miserable. The outside seats are under a roof but standing places are not.

Have been to the Globe a few times in the past year and they've been really enjoyable experiences. Staff are really warm and friendly, taking pride in their job. The theatre itself is beautiful and the plays are fantastic. Both Romeo and Juliet, and a Midsummer Night's Dream are brilliant, with slight modern twists and brilliant casts. The globe also let's you bring in your own food and drink, but no glass.

The tour we took was very informative, our guide was super friendly and could answer all of our questions. Note before you go that this is a replica of Shakespeare's globe, you can still go see where the original globe was, really close by, but there's not much to see. The fact that it's a replica though, doesn't take away from the historical impact you can feel and see in this building it's really cool to look around. I'd love to come back in the spring/summer to see a a play here.

If you are booking seats the only advice I'd give is to look directly at the stage from the middle section. If you can cope with standing that's the most immersive way to see the play. The RSC are brilliant and really do bring entertainment to the masses. My advice is buy your food and drink from outside the venue as it's pretty pricey inside. The gift shop is great too.

Great place! Went for tour and it was really interesting . We had headphones to hear our tour guide . Our your guide was very friendly , clearly passionate about her job and had a laugh with our group. Tour took roughly 45 minutes and was worth it! Cute shop as well.

The play was very nice, it was an enclosed theater, so it was warm in January, be ready to sit on a bench for three hours. Might worth to select the seats close to the walls.

We really enjoyed the tour of The Globe. We felt we had the real special treatment by being able to experience parts of a rehearsal before the opening of Julius Caesar! If you are a big theatre nerd, like me, then you may find that you know most of the history discussed in the tour. It goes barely skin deep into the history of the space and theatre of the time, which was a touch disappointing. Despite my previous knowledge it really is a lovely tour that clips along at a decent pace. We recommend for those who enjoy history and theatre arts.

Been here multiple times and always had a blast. If you want to go on a guide tour, please book ahead. Try to book to see something in the smaller, more intimate indoor theatre or watch something in the Globe. Was fortunate enough to see The Tempest here last time I was here.

Amazing place, has gift shop and toilet facilities on site. Guided tour was excellent and lasted about 60min. Easily accessible from the Thames riverside. Foot Bridge nearby giving access to and from the North side of the Thames, very close to St Pauls. The surrounding area is also nice to stroll along the banks of the Thames. Plenty of other places to see nearby.

Second time I’ve visited the Globe theater. It’s a must see when visiting London.

great place to visit, went on the guided tour,very friendly and informative and wonderfull to see around the inside of the building and the main stage

Iconic and a touch of class to it

(Translated by Google) 16.-17. Built with the understanding of the 21st century, Shakespeare's Globe reflects the period of the famous artist. Shakespeare's plays are staged with the understanding of his years. It is a unique place that theater lovers fall in love with. Exceptional in every way.

They claim it's a globe but it's not even round

Expensive museum but just standing outside was good enough for us.

can be a tad chilly

(Translated by Google) The theater, built in Southwark in 1997, is the faithful remake of the Globe Theater where William Shakespeare's theatrical scores came in the sixteenth century before being demolished in the mid-seventeenth century. Although it is a "certified copy", the theater presents itself as a rather scenic and picturesque building, certainly capable of reviving and in any case recalling the glories of the past. (Original) Il teatro, eretto a Southwark nel 1997, è il fedele rifacimento del Globe Theatre dove nel Cinquecento venivano le partiture teatrali di William Shakespeare prima di essere demolito verso la metà del Seicento. Per quanto si tratti di una "copia conforme" , il teatro si presenta come edificio alquanto scenografico e pittoresco, capace senz'altro di rinverdire e comunque richiamare alla mente i fasti del passato.

£5 to stand in "the pit", absolute bargain! Every member of the cast was excellent. We went for the Audience Choice on a Saturday afternoon. You're given three choices of play and the one that gets the biggest cheer from the audience is the one they perform. Great way to introduce our children (9 and 11) to Shakespeare as it makes it fun for them. Also, being the Globe it has a certain gravitas over a standard theatre.

Loved every second of the tour, such a historical place.

An asset to British theatres. Amazing shows with an authentic experience of what Elizabethan/Jacobean audiences would have seen. As the standing gallery is subject to the elements, I'd recommend bringing a coat just in case!

I am the 14500th review. And for that 5 stars

Visited the 1st workshop today on Macbeth and was beyond impressed with how it was run and the man who ran it. I'm ashamed to say I can't remember his name, sorry!! My 2 girls loved it and can't wait to come and see a full show when we're all back to normal. Thank you.

Everyone was so friendly! Awesome to watch a play from a place so iconic.

Did the tour of globe theatre today and was 100% amazing, the guy doing the tour was upbeat, positive and made the experience brilliant. a nice refreshing break from these crazy times! Thank you so much, cannot wait to visit when plays up and running!

Very good guided tour. Felt safe despite being among many other people in these strange times. Our tour guide Sam was very attentive and helpful. Lovely restoration of a beautiful old building. Would definitely recommend.

If you want to expect the original feeling of theatre, the original one

This is a must do on everyone’s list. I saw A midsummer night’s dream and mind was blown. It’s a 3 hr show so make sure you have good seats with a great view.

Day Thursday class

Fred showed us around this beautiful rebuild theater. His enthusiasm and stories are contagious. He shows love for this theater and the team of volunteers, actors and donators giving this place a ❤️. Didn't see a play but did the tour. I would recommend it!

I highly recommend you to book a tour. I had such an amazing time, the person who gave the tour was very enthusiastic making the whole thing just remarkable, it was like I was back in time and she told so many interesting stories and facts, showing and explaning the details, making everything even more vivid and beautiful. She was also very friendly and dedicated at her job; doing something which I believe, she loves, what resulted in a totally different atmosphere. By the way, is any time soon Coriolanus to be presented at the Globe?

One thing is certain from a States point of view is that it can be challenging understanding the dialog of British Playwright. But I am a bit crude when it comes to theater. I did love the play though. The actors were intense and great at doing there parts. It is a great theater and I would suggest Standing room only because you are right up in front. Also the seats seamed uncomfortable especially for a big guy like me. I read reviews about being in the sun so we went on an overcast day which was perfect. I have watched much theater stateside but I would say for not understanding the Shakespeare dialog very well, I would go back again. This is definitely worth the adventure.

With the globe to the left and a wonderful views of London to right a great place to sit and watch

Standing seats are good if you can stand for 2-2.5 hours because it is £5 per ticket. The Swan next door has a reasonably priced 2/3 course menu that you can grab before to show dress code is relaxed but wear comfortable shoes

Absolutely brilliant performance of Romeo and Juliet. We had standing tickets which are a bargain but towards the end I wouldn't have said no to a sit down. I think I would still get standing tickets next time though.

I love this building. From outside looks really amazing. Like from i don't know XVIII century. And also guide guy was very good. For Non-English person was really interesting that word "Window" comes from Wind and hole

Lovely atmosphere, staff were helpful and courteous. The performance of Romeo & Juliet, was fantastic, the modern twist a suprise but well executed. In seated area,most of the performance could be seen, small parts when not able to see so well. Would go again.

I haven't been there, but it is probebly nice

Atmospheric. Most unusual structure being replica 16 th C. Scenically situated overlooking the Thames, St Pauls and the City

Reservation is required to avoid the queue. Despite that, what a pleasure ! The guided tour is interesting and lively. The place is superb.

Good beer n food

Amazing experience. I’ve been fascinated by Shakespeare from a very young age and so visiting the Globe has been on my bucket list for a long time. The performance of The Tempest was incredible, completely enthralling and hilarious. I cannot wait to attend again.

(Translated by Google) Located between the Tate Modern and the Soutwark Bridge, overlooking the Thames, Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theater, the London theater where William Shakespeare's company played. The original Globe was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain's Men theater company (of which Shakespeare was a part) and was destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt the following year, closed in 1642, and finally demolished in 1644. This modern reconstruction, called Shakespeare's Globe, was inaugurated in 1999 and was promoted by the American actor and director Sam Wanamaker: compared to the Globe Theater, it has a half capacity (of about 1600 spectators) and its location (in Bankside) has been slightly moved compared to the original seat. It is a circular wooden theater with an open central space to let in natural light. Shakespeare's inspiration makes it an essential point of reference in modern-day London: although it is a contemporary reproduction of a famous Elizabethan theater, it is a must when visiting the capital of the United Kingdom. (Original) Situato tra la Tate Modern e il Soutwark Bridge, affacciato sul Tamigi, lo Shakespeare's Globe è una ricostruzione del Globe Theatre, ovvero del teatro londinese dove recitò la compagnia di William Shakespeare. Il Globe originale fu costruito nel 1599 dalla compagnia teatrale dei Lord Chamberlain's Men (di cui Shakespeare faceva parte) e fu distrutto da un incendio nel 1613, ricostruito l'anno successivo, chiuso nel 1642 e demolito definitivamente nel 1644. Questa ricostruzione moderna, chiamata Shakespeare's Globe, è stata inaugurata nel 1999 ed è stata promossa dall'attore e regista statunitense Sam Wanamaker: rispetto al Globe Theatre, ha una capienza dimezzata (di circa 1600 spettatori) e la sua ubicazione (a Bankside) è stata leggermente spostata rispetto alla sede originaria. Si tratta di un teatro in legno a pianta circolare, con uno spazio centrale aperto per far entrare la luce naturale. L'afflato di Shakespeare lo rende un imprescindibile punto di riferimento della Londra dei giorni nostri: pur trattandosi della riproduzione contemporanea di un celebre teatro elisabettiano, si tratta di una tappa obbligata durante la visita della capitale del Regno Unito.
