- Kris TinJune 23, 2016fantastic performance of macbeth. really lovely theatre. take a rain coat with you if you've got tickets for the area in front of the stage.
- Iris PezzaliSeptember 26, 2012Delightful theatre and considering the upkeep of such a wonderful place, a unique experience to celebrate the wonderful world of Shakespeare.
- Basma AAugust 7, 2014Shakespeare globe theatre from the 1500's. We walked in while they were rehearsing for a new play. Excellent place for a historical visit and the tour was very informative! Have fun while you can.
- Lauren KeithOctober 4, 2014There's nothing like a show at the Globe, but hopping on a tour of the grounds is almost as good to soak up the atmosphere from the gallery, the ground and through your camera. http://bit.ly/2U6bzpE
- KaitlinJuly 7, 2019Audience choice for £5 in the yard! You get to choose the production (from three possibilities), and it’s amazing fun! Standing in the yard isn’t too bad if you lean against the railings in the back.
- You can usually see the cast of The Globe productions there after 10:30. The lower level is more casual and the upper deck a bit more proper dinner. Lovely food, and a view you can't beat.
- DavidJune 23, 2015Museum visit prior guided tour is very well done. I learned a lot about actor and theatre life during Shakespeare time. Guided tour is as well very instructive.
- Greg GordonAugust 27, 2018It's worth the trip. Plan on spending 3 hours at the theater. It was magical for a guy from Texas. I enjoyed Othello and Emilia in the same week. Next trip I'll watch 4 plays in the same 7 day period.
- Zach StockwellOctober 15, 2015Go see a play. Standing is fun and cheap but sitting will be more enjoyable on the second visit lol
- Andrew CAugust 30, 2018The exhibit was much bigger than expected with extensive in-depth images, descriptions, artifacts, and more!!! The free tour was cool, mainly useful to see the theatre (without buying a show ticket)
- John HobbsJuly 12, 2017Incredible piece of living history, the Globe is a must visit. Standing tickets (Groundlings) are £5 and really engaging with top-quality performances (but bring a coat, no matter the forecast!)
- Catherine GouletJune 13, 2017It's worth paying for the cushion as well as getting seats on the back row so you can lean against the wall.
- Anna NickelsonSeptember 29, 2016Read about the history of the theater before so you can appreciate the full experience. Groundlings (Standing room) seats are £5. Get there at least 45 minutes before to stand against the stage.
- MEL BROWN STUDIOSJanuary 3, 2016One of the best places to watch Shakespeare ever! Get there early to lean on the stage :)
- EsraJuly 8, 2023A must visit place in London. Fingers crossed in order for the weather not to be rainy and cold :) I’ve seen A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It was a great performance.
- Giacomo MasonAugust 29, 2015This place is the best. If you want to see how Shakespeare was performed in the old days, this is where you should be. 5£ standing tickets are a steal, if you are tall an young enough
- Alison RocheAugust 24, 2016If you're a groundling, go all the way round the building to the back. You'll have more room and be able to grab a bench at the interval if you run out fast.
- With hundreds of daily grounding tickets for £5 each and a tremendous selection of plays each season, going to see a show at the Globe is a must do for any Londoner.
- Sarah WaiteJune 4, 2013Brilliant night. But recommend: Seated tickets (Shakespeare plays are long), £1 cushions (hard wooden benches), a blanket (it gets cold at night) and the pulled pork sandwiches (cash only).
- Joseph McDermottNovember 23, 2014Went to see Julius Caesar. We had seats on the upper level and actually they were pretty good! Fortunately they're built steep enough for your view not to be blocked by the person in front.
- HeyTripsterDecember 9, 2021Built-in 1599 and destroyed by fundamentalists in 1644, the theater was rebuilt 350 years later, under the leadership of Sam Wanamaker. It was re-opened in 1997 and opened its doors to visitors. Read more
- Pınar ŞahinJanuary 13, 2015I've been there for Shakespeare Festival to watch A Midsummer Night's Dream. The atmosphere was extremely amazing. Take your beer and stand at the yard, ticket is only £5.
- Karen MelchiorJuly 23, 2012For dinner after a play (or before outside in the sun), go to Tas Pide just to the right of the box office on New Globe Walk. Excellent Turkish cuisine, open late and not expensive!
- ᴡ HayAugust 15, 2014Watching Shakespeare here breathes a whole different life into his texts (in the right hands). Experience the plays as they were meant to be experienced. Seriously cheap standing tickets at £5.
- Just the best place ever. Spend £5 on standing among the groundlings - you get the best view, you get to interact with the actors, and it's the cheapest ticket available.
- Ryan NellOctober 4, 2016Just an incredible place to spend a fiver on a standing ticket and enjoy some fantastic theatre in the round. Better with sun and cider.
- Jason H.September 28, 2018Charming theater - recreation of the original Globe - that is a treat no matter what the show is.
- Social News NetworkAugust 14, 2013The Globe is authentically Shakespearean, meaning you'll be sitting on an uncomfortable, cramped wooden bench and watching a play with limited props in a building with no roof. Still, it's worth it.
- Lilian D.January 31, 2015amazing place, love it. Different venues for different events, restaurant and a small concert room lit only by candles - friendly stuff too
- Ana LaraOctober 1, 2014Amazing setting!!! Watching a play there is something worth experiencing. If you don't want to pay much choose standing tickets (5 pounds and right by the stage!)
- RobertJune 4, 2016But the 5 pound tix for the groundlings area and be sure get there early so you can find a good "leaning" spot. NB no umbrellas allowed.
- HISTORY UKJanuary 18, 2011The vision of American actor Sam Wanamaker, this replica of Shakespeare’s legendary theatre opened near the site of the original in 1997. It has the first thatched roof in London since the Great Fire.
- Drew MFebruary 21, 2017The tour is nice but with tickets as cheap as 5 pounds, it's best to see a play.
- Jason HirstAugust 28, 2014Shakespeare aside, the theatre itself is wonderful with every seat guaranteed to see action at all times. Expensive yes, but certainly worth it.
- No4emi GVNovember 6, 2017The tour around the theater is awesome, but it talks more about the UK social situation than Shakespeare itself. Still a nice way to learn some history.
- Martti RaninMay 8, 2014Great to see the "inside" of the Globe both physically and verbally. Unfortunately our tour guide was more interested to present herself than the theatre.
- Miwa Nagamitsu AhlstromJune 10, 2017It was such an experience. The yard is fun! Can't believe you can see great shows for just £5!!
- Jenna AndersonOctober 9, 2014For £5 you can get a groundling ticket and experience Shakespeare the way it was meant to be. It'll be the best fiver you've ever spent.
- MiljaMay 13, 2012FANTASTIC overall experience! i would honestly recommend it to anyone who loves a good play, Shakespeare, historic feel or just wanna try out something new and unusual.
- Louis VuittonApril 5, 2012Shakespeare's Globe, a reconstruction of the legendary theatre offers standing tickets in summer in the "yard" for £5 and offer the best view of the Bard's plays. Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer
- Magdalena MrázkováMay 4, 2015Amazing reconstruction of the original Shakespeare's theater. Makes you feel like you're actually part of the play!
- EArchitectJuly 7, 2015If planning to queue for same day ticket sales, arrive at least an hour before the play begins.
- Dave MarshallOctober 23, 2015This stunning building is a historical rebuild of the original building. So it's cold in November. Bring a blanket
- FlirtifyJune 18, 2014Shakespeare in beautiful surroundings. The Globe made our list of top 10 date venues in London, check out the rest here:
http://flirtify.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/top-10-dates-in-london.html - London24May 14, 2012Guided tours of the facility are offered throughout the day in the theatre's winter off-season. From May to September, however, Globe tours are only available in the morning.
- Jeffrey-Ryan B.October 29, 2014One must see place at least once in a lifetime as a local or a tourist xx
- Ewa SJuly 22, 2015Amazing tours - the guides have wonderful stories to share and they do it all in a really funny manner
- Lesley GDecember 30, 2012Don't miss the tour, get Colin as your guide. So many interesting facts, a fun, charming and entertaining afternoon well spent.
- Sarah SharifJanuary 4, 2013I wish I went there during the summer to watch a play! The facts we were given is amazing! So worth the visit! :)
