The Globe Theatre was located on the south bank of the River Thames in Southwark primarily due to the restrictions on theater construction in the City of London, where authorities were wary of the moral implications of such venues. Southwark, being outside the jurisdiction of the City, allowed for more freedom in entertainment. Additionally, the area was already known for its taverns and bear-baiting, attracting a diverse audience looking for entertainment. This strategic location helped the Globe thrive as a prominent venue for performances, particularly those of Shakespeare.
