PIN The Rose Theatre

The Other Famous Southbank Theatre

This is a unique London theatre that stages great quality productions in a wonderful atmosphere. Currently the Rose provides the visitor plenty of information about its life in 1605. Illuminated `red rope` lights the site around its courtyard or pit and the position of its two stages







The site today inspires actors and other artists just as it did over four hundred years ago and there are lots of regular events and open days which showcases much of the available talent.

History

The Rose’s well-preserved archaeology was discovered in 1989 during a routine exploratory excavation held in the interval between site clearance and re-development of an office block. The theatre became a major international news story, and the site attracted many thousands of visitors. A campaign to ‘Save the Rose’ and protect it from redevelopment was launched with enthusiastic support from actors (including the dying Lord Olivier, who gave his last public speech on behalf of the Rose), scholars and the general public.

How to get there

It is a 2 minute by walk from the Southwark Bridge Bankside Pier bus stop and a 10 minutes by walk from the London Bridge underground station.
