Each year the theatre season runs from April to October with productions of work by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, as well as modern writers. Each year over 350,000 members of the audience experience the 'wooden O' sitting in a gallery or standing as a grounding in the yard, just as they would have done 400 years ago.

From 3 October the Globe continues its work though the Exhibition and Tour, Globe Education programme and the launch of Globe to Globe on October 27.

Outside of the UK the Globe will be taking a small scale tour of the US with The Comedy of Errors, in November.

Theatre performances in the main theatre will recommence on 21 April 2012 with the opening of Globe to Globe.

Vacations in London

Submitted: May 10, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Living for a few days in the Bermondsey Street area of Southwark was quite enjoyable. The revived warehouse district with its new shops, glass-works, leather works, design studios just had a energetic vibe. Lots of new quite wonderful restaurants are also opening in the area.Garrison Street Pub and Antica were my favourites. While quite close to the Thames and to the Jubilee Line if you are a first timer in London you might want something closer to Parliament Square.
Arrangements were well handled. Arranging the cab to pick us up was very helpful Lidiana was a very good host. Unit was clean and comfortable One member of my party required medical care while in London while she wasn't instantly available by phone she did call sereral times to inquire how things were going. Also a cell phone was left behind in the unit and she worked hard to see that it was returned to us. Bed in the unit were very low at least in my opinion. Also it was excessively hot in the hall bath.

Thank you Sophie and Lidiana!

Great Surprise

4 of 5
Submitted: June 12, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
We were not expecting to stay in this neighborhood, but we enjoyed our vacation in Southbank.
It's a fabulous and spacious apartment, well-maintained. It has basic utensils in kitchen, large bedrooms and comfy beds, clean bathrooms.
It's located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. About 10 min. walk to main street (Tooley), London Bridge Station, the Dungeon attraction and large grocery stores. Another 5 min. walk to Tower Bridge. RV1 bus at Tooley St leads to Convent Garden and London Eye.
There are few bars and restaurants in the area, but Borough Market neighborhood (about 15 min walk) has plenty of choices.
We would recommend this property for family with kids, group of young friends. It's also suitable for vacations over a week and cultural sightseeing.
We would not recommend this property for shopping purposes, for elderly and handicapped people, nor short stays (less than a week).
Concierge offered good service and provided detailed information about the apartment and area.

5 Stars !

Submitted: May 14, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
Wonderful apartment in a great, quiet and calm location! I travelled with my grandparents, elderly people, and the apartment was great for them, maybe the main room's double bed was too low, but this is a constant in Europe. We had a problem with a toilet which was fixed within 24 hours. They had a local cellphone available for our use, which was exceptionally useful. My only suggestion is to have oil and salt as part of the kitchenware since travelers don't want to carry a bottle of oil around neither buy one in every place they visit. Lidiana, our host, was very kind and helpful. We had a great experience and I wouldn't doubt in recommending this flat to others.

Perfect location!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 13, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
I’ve been to London many times for leisure and on my last visit, my friends and I were looking for something not to close to the “tourist heart” of London, yet well located in reasonable walking distance from the nearest tube.
What to say…it was perfect!!!
London’s Bridge tube station, the Borough Market (which is worth a visit), the More London, Bermondsey street (intriguing street with plenty of restaurants and galleries) and the River Thames within 5 minutes walk…
Back to the apartment:
Lidiana was waiting for us, she was very accommodating and friendly, making us feel right at home. The apartment was just what we expected from the description: clean, cosy, with plenty of working appliances and quiet.
I will have no hesitation in recommending Vesta Court to friends and I’ll definitely re-book the apartment on my next visit to London.


P.S.: Booking was simple and Sophie from flatsinlondon.net was very helpful.

Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: April 10, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
Location - located in a very quiet, safe and convenient part of London. A quick walk to pubs, restaurant and the Tube Station. London Bridge in about a 15 minute walk, and if you chose the correct path, a very nice scenic walk along the Thames with London Tower and downtown London as the back-drop. For those that wish to "eat-in" grocery stores were located approximately 10 minutes away by foot.

Accommodations - outstanding. Clean with a full-up kitchen. Price was very reasonable.

Interaction with Rental Agency - very accessible by email / phone. Extremely friendly and helpful.

Overall rating - outstanding. I would highly recommend this company for any future stay in London and would be my first choice when I return to the UK for a future visit.
