Beautiful, lovingly restored Victorian pub that eschews
jukeboxes and one-armed bandits, and opts simply for
serving a superb stock of real ales (mild, pale and old)
from Harveys Brewery in Sussex and some good old-
fashioned pub grub.

Attached to Shakespeare's Globe theatre, this Jacobean-syle indoor venue presents an in-
triguing programme of concerts, early theatre and music events - all in an intimate and
atmospheric, candlelit space.
SHAKESPEARE'S GLOBE THEATRE
21 New Globe Walk Blackfriars or Mansion House 020 7401 9919,
www.shakespearesglobe.com . May-Sept. MAP
This thatch-roofed replica of the famous Elizabethan theatre uses only natural light and
the minimum of scenery, and puts on fun, historically authentic and, more often than not,
critically acclaimed plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, with “groundling”
tickets (standing-room only) for under a tenner.
