Wardrobe Place is the site of the former house where the King's clothes would be stored. It has been converted into serviced apartments.
A plaque marks the site where William Shakespeare had purchased lodgings.
Next door is the Cockpit Tavern, which is supposedly on the site of Shakespeare's house. The pub was once a cock fighting arena, and the inside is round with an upstairs viewing gallery. It is one of the few pubs in the area open on Sunday.
A modern reconstruction of the Shakespeare Globe, named opened in 1997 approximately 750 feet from the site of the original theatre. It was originally built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men. It was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642.
I just liked this sign. It is a construction company.
