Shakespeare's Globe Transfers

Shakespeare's Globe on Bankside is the faithful open-air reconstruction of the 1599 playhouse, a few yards from the original site — an outdoor season running April to October, with the candlelit indoor Sam Wanamaker Playhouse extending the calendar through winter. It's one of London's most tourist-loved theatres, sitting between Tate Modern and Borough Market on a riverside stretch that's entirely pedestrianised at the water's edge.

Get London Transfer provides fixed-price transfers to Shakespeare's Globe — from hotels, from Heathrow and Gatwick for visitors building the Globe into a London itinerary, and as part of multi-stop Bankside days that pair a matinee with Borough Market and Tate Modern. Because the riverside walk is pedestrian-only, knowing the correct vehicle approach matters more here than at almost any other London theatre.

Also on the South Bank: National Theatre transfers.

Fixed-price transfers from every London airport direct to Shakespeare's Globe, with meet-and-greet in the arrivals hall, flight tracking, and 60 minutes' free waiting after landing. Prices below are for the Mercedes E-Class (up to 4 passengers); MPV, 8-seater and S-Class options are quoted at booking.

The Globe's riverside frontage can't be reached by car — the working drop-off is on the streets immediately behind the theatre off Southwark Bridge Road / Sumner Street side (Park Street, Emerson Street), a one-to-two-minute walk to the entrance. Our drivers drop and collect there; for evening performances we agree the exact corner in advance since the Bankside streets are narrow and busy at closing time.

Tourist-heavy audience: airport and hotel transfers, multi-stop itineraries with Borough Market and Tate Modern mentioned in copy. Open-air seasonality (Apr–Oct) with the Sam Wanamaker extending winter relevance.

25 years TfL licensed. Get London Transfer has held a Transport for London Private Hire Operator licence continuously since 2000. We are not a rideshare aggregator — our drivers are individually contracted, and the same driver handles a multi-leg booking. 2026 UK Transport Awards Winner (Best SME Transport Provider — SME News), with a 4.9-star average across 2,150+ verified reviews.

Fixed prices, agreed at booking. No meter. No surge. No event-night uplift. No late-night surcharge. No "tolls extra", no "parking extra", no "congestion charge extra". The price at 1am after the encore is the price you agreed at lunchtime — which is exactly when on-demand apps around Shakespeare's Globe are multiplying their fares.

Event-day route knowledge. Our drivers work London's event calendar daily: they know Shakespeare's Globe's traffic management, the workable drop-off points, and the pickup positions that clear the area fastest afterwards. That knowledge is the product.

Pre-booked returns. We agree your pickup point and time before the event, position the driver in advance, and adjust by live message if plans change. You walk out to a waiting car instead of joining the crowd staring at a surging app.

The right vehicle. Mercedes E-Class executive (up to 4), MPV 6-seater, 8-seat Mercedes Vito, chauffeured S-Class VIP, and 16-seat Sprinter coach (VAT zero-rated for 10+ seats). Child seats, water and phone charging included.
