No-one truly knows what happened to Shakespeare at this time but we know that he was still in Stratford as late as 1585 when the twins were born. After that we know nothing until he pops up in London in 1592. For all we know, Shakespeare never lived in London in the 1580s.

The London of Shakespeare's time was populated by a largely uneducated crowd that loved gossip and folly. On the other hand, the social stratification was changing. The Middle Class was growing and it was no longer a necessity for a man be born into the aristocracy to acquire wealth. People were quite superstitious at the time, some might even say gullible, as amazing feats that defied logic were completely accepted as truth. Belief in ghosts, fairies, witches, magic and alchemy were high. A great love of gambling, gaming and fancy dress also occupied these Londoners.

He went to London between 1585 and 1592 to work as a playwright and actor. He wrote his plays there before retiring to Stratford.

He lived and worked in London for at least part of that period (from 1592 to 1600) and maybe longer. It must have had some effect on him.
