They didn't usually leave London in the summer because that is when the light was good and the temperature was warm which made it a good time to perform plays when you are playing in an outdoor theatre with natural light. However, in 1593, there was a bad outbreak of plague, and as a health precaution the authorities closed the London theatres. Most of the players took their plays on tour, which was not always profitable (a country tour bankrupted the company called Lord Pembroke's Men). Shakespeare devoted himself to writing his long erotic poem Venus and Adonis which he had printed and put on sale. Unlike the actors who went on tour, Shakespeare made a tidy sum out of the closure of the theatres. Did he leave London? Probably. It was probably a good opportunity to visit Anne and the kids.
Probably his decision to leave Stratford to look for work in London.
The exact date when Shakespeare left Stratford for London is not known. It was betweem 1585 and 1592 - see the related question below.
Why do you see the word "Exit" on illuminated signs above doors? Because "Exit" means "he leaves" in Latin. It marks the way out. In theatre, an exit is when someone leaves. "Players" are people playing a part in a play, or in other words, actors. The words "The players exit" meaning that the actors leave the stage are found in the writing of Shakespeare's day because Shakespeare wrote in Modern English, the same as you do when you wrote this question.

William Shakespeare left from Stratford to go to London in the year 1586. Or not. It could be 1588, or 1589, or 1587. This period in Shakespeare's life is called his Lost Years because we have no idea what he was doing.
Shakespeare did not change his life in any way as a result of Hamnet's death. Shakespeare left Stratford for London sometime between 1585 and 1590. Hamnet did not die until 1596, by which time Shakespeare was well-settled in London.

In 1593, a plague outbreak in London caused the theatres to close. Shakespeare had chosen not to leave London, but rather had chosen to stay and put the finishing touches to his first published work, Venus and Adonis.
We don't know for certain, but he probably couldn't get the job he wanted in Stratford.

We have to just guess about this, but the best guess is that he needed to find a job to help support his wife and three children, and there was nothing in Stratford that suited him.
