It depends where they were coming from and which theatre you are talking about, because Shakespeare had shares in more than one, and performed in many more than he had an interest in. The large public theatres were built in the suburbs, not in the City of London itself, and the suburbs both to the North and to the South were areas where, because the laws were more lax, houses of prostitution, arenas for blood sports, taverns and other unsavoury places were located. But Shakespeare also had an interest in the Blackfriars theatre which was an indoor theatre located right in the city just south and west of St. Paul's. If you came there from St. Paul's you would pass many bookshops and printers. If you came there from the south you would be coming from the River and the fish markets of Queenhithe.
