London visitors can enjoy a trip back in time to the age of the Great Bard with free entry to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Tour & Exhibition on Bankside, London – a saving of £9.00 on the normal adult price of admission and just one of the many discounts, special offers and free tickets available as a London Pass holder.

Shakespeare's Globe London was founded by the pioneering American actor and director Sam Wannamaker and has become one of London's most successful theatres and a top London attraction in its own right.

Built in 1599, the original building that housed Shakespeare's theatre in London was an open-air playhouse where the playwright penned many of his greatest plays. This modern building is a faithful reconstruction of the Globe and perfectly evokes the atmosphere of Elizabethan London (albeit with more modern facilities for theatregoers!)

Resident storytellers on the Shakespeare's Globe Theatre Tour And Exhibition introduce visitors to all aspects of the Globe, historical and contemporary, including Sam Wannamaker's epic struggle to recreate the theatre for which Shakespeare wrote many of his works.

If you enjoyed your trip to Shakespeare's Globe on London Bankside why not consider other tourist attractions in the area offering free entry to London Pass holders including Southwark Cathedral and The Old Operating Theatre, Museum and Herb Garret.

Please note: there is no access to the theatre during matinee performances. Tours of Shakespeare's theatre in London being every 15 – 30 minutes during opening hours.
