Best Answer

The first theatre in London (which was just called 'The Theatre') was built in Southwark, on the South Bank of the Thames. It was later dismantled and reassembled at a nearby site, and renamed The Globe. The first successful purpose-built playhouse was James Burbage's The Theater, built in Snoreditch, North of London, in 1576.

The first theatre, called the Theatre (from which name we get our word for what used to be called playhouses) was built on Curtain Road, just north of Holywell Lane in a district then called Shoreditch but now called Hackney, north of London proper. The A10 now runs right past the location of the Theatre.
