Shakespeare's Globe
London
Jacob Miles provides private chauffeur transfers to and from Shakespeare's Globe, the reconstruction of the Elizabethan playhouse on Bankside in Southwark. Our chauffeurs are experienced with traffic on the South Bank and will plan your route to avoid the worst of the congestion around the Thames and Southwark Bridge, collecting you from your home, hotel or office and delivering you close to the theatre.
Arriving at Shakespeare's Globe
Shakespeare's Globe sits on New Globe Walk on the Bankside, between the River Thames and Southwark Bridge, close to Tate Modern and Borough Market. The surrounding streets are busy with tourists and river traffic throughout the day, and parking in the area is very limited. A chauffeur-driven arrival lets you step out close to the theatre without navigating the crowded South Bank. The final collection point will depend on the venue's event-day traffic and access arrangements and will be confirmed with the passenger before travel.
Performance Traffic and Timing
The Globe is an open-air theatre with a summer season, and the South Bank is busy throughout the warmer months. The roads around Southwark Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge and the A201 can be slow before performances and at the end of the evening. We recommend booking your outward journey to arrive in good time and agreeing your return collection time in advance, particularly for matinee and evening performances on the same day.
Nearby Areas and Hotels
The Globe is in Bankside, close to Southwark, Borough and London Bridge, and a short drive from the City. Hotels we serve that are convenient for a visit to the Globe include The Savoy on the Strand, just across the river, and Corinthia London in Westminster. We can collect you from your hotel and return you there after the performance.
Airport and Station Connections
London City is a practical airport for short-haul business travellers heading to the South Bank, while Heathrow serves the principal international routes. London Bridge and Waterloo are the nearest mainline stations for the Globe. We can combine an airport or station transfer with your onward journey to the theatre.
Recommended Vehicles
The Globe is an open-air theatre, so visitors often arrive with layers for the British weather. The Mercedes E-Class or S-Class is a refined choice for individuals and couples, while the Mercedes V-Class suits families and small groups with room for bags and coats. Let us know your party size when you book.
