If tours aren't your thing, or if you want to experience the Globe in another way, see a play at the theater. While the seats range from £15-£33 you can get a spot in the yard (standing area) for only £5. Only warning for the yard, you can't use an umbrella if it rains, as it would block your fellow patrons view, so make sure you come prepared clothing wise.

If you are a literary and movie fan, this is the perfect place to go. Shakespeare was performed here and Shakespeare in Love, 1998, was filmed here. The Rose theatre sets the scene for the play of Romeo & Juliet in the film, and was the very stage where Shakespeare honed his art back in Elizabethan times. Based in Bankside, Southwark, the theatre offers tours as part of the Shakespeare’s Globe Exhibition every day except Monday.
