What you need to know:

• As we are a working theatre, tour times vary due to performance schedules or sometimes take place during rehearsals (giving you an exclusive look at the rehearsal process!).
• Guided Tours take place in all weathers.
• There is no dress code for the tour or the afternoon tea, but we recommend visitors wear appropriate clothing and footwear as tours take place outdoors.

• We advise visitors arrive 15 minutes prior to tour departure.
• Visitors need to arrive at the entrance of the Groundling Gates on Bankside, (SE1 9DT, opposite the river) where a staff member will greet them, at an outdoor information pod.
• All Swan at the Globe spaces have step-free access
• Swan at the Globe can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets for the afternoon tea and also do their best to accommodate other special diets, but cannot guarantee to do so.
