The outdoor theatres were not built in London, but in settlements around London in Shakespeare's time. The Globe, The Rose, The Swan and the Hope were in Southwark, just south of the river. Newington Butts was in Newington, south of Clapham. The Theatre, The Curtain and The Fortune were built North of the city in Shoreditch and Clerkenwell.
The indoor theatres were built in London but were subject to strict control by the city fathers. Even though the Burbage's owned the Blackfriars, the King's Men were not allowed to use it until 1608 because the City had banned performances by adult companies.

What kind of theaters existed in shakespeares day?
Open air public theatres existed in Shakespeares day. They were built of wood, and were circular in shape. They had about three tiers of covered seating, and an open yard in the middle for the 'lower class' to stand and watch the play. They were called groundlings because they stood on the ground, and were only charged a penny to do so. The stage protruded from one side of the circle and into the yard. 'Upper class' theatre visitors could even pay to sit at the side stage to watch the play. There were two main theatres in London during Shakespeare's time, called The Rose and The Globe. Shakespeare predominantly played in The Globe. For more information, I would search 'Shakespeare's Globe'. A reproduction has been built in London which is meant to be based on the designs for the original Globe Theatre. The original burnt down in the Great fire of London in 1666.
