Replica almost perfect the Elizabethan theater where William Shakespeare worked from 1598 to 1611, the Globe is completely built in wood and has no coverage. This is also why the station runs from May to September, although there is a risk of being victims of the rain, standing in the open stalls, it is high. But the effect is incredible and the station always offers the best of Shakespearean theater, for an unforgettable London experience.
