Shakespeare Guides
Step-by-step guides for visiting the places that shaped Shakespeare's world, walking tours, day trips and site visits.
Shakespeare Walking Tour of London
From riverside playhouses to statues in buzzing West End squares, London is where Shakespeare built his career and wrote most of his plays. This self-guided walk packs six of the best Bard-related spots into an easy half-day — with pub stops at every stage.
Guide to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
Few buildings in London feel as alive as the timber-framed Globe Theatre on Bankside. This guide covers everything you need to know before you visit — the history, what to see, how to book tickets, the famous flag system, and where to eat and drink nearby.
Stratford-upon-Avon: Shakespeare’s Birthplace
Stratford-upon-Avon is where Shakespeare was born in 1564, married at 18 and was buried in 1616. The town is compact: almost every site is within fifteen minutes on foot. This guide covers the Shakespeare houses that are actually open, where locals eat and drink (including the pub where decades of RSC actors have signed the walls with their photographs), how to get cheap RSC tickets, and how to reach Stratford from London or Birmingham.
