Lonely Planet review

The Rose, for which Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson wrote their greatest plays and in which Shakespeare learned his craft, is unique in that its original 16th-century foundations have been unearthed. They were discovered in 1989 beneath an office building at Southwark Bridge and given a protective concrete cover. Administered by the Globe Theatre, the Rose is open to the public only when matinees are being performed at the Globe Theatre.
