"Professor Lucy Monro's discovery of a detailed floor plan of Shakespeare's L-shaped home provides new insights into the playwright's life in London, revealing its exact location and layout."
"The property, which spanned Bergon Street and Ireland Yard, was situated near significant landmarks like the Blackfriars Theatre and The Sign of the Cock tavern, indicating Shakespeare's active social life."
Recent findings indicate that Shakespeare spent significant time in London, particularly in a home near the Blackfriars Theatre. A newly discovered floor plan reveals the exact location and layout of his residence, which was converted from a medieval monastery. This property, located on Bergon Street and Ireland Yard, was close to his playhouse and a tavern. After Shakespeare's death, the home was sold by his daughter and later destroyed in the Great Fire of London.
