Tip 40: A trip to the Globe for a fiver

The (snow) Globe. Watching a modern adaptation of Romeo and Juliette while is snowed.

Watching a live performance at Shakspeare's Globe on the South Bank is a proper London experience and leaves you feeling very cultured and well educated.

Ticket prices can be a little on the pricey side, especially as you'll only understand every 5th word. However, there are 700 £5 standing tickets in the yard for every performance. Benefits of standing include being able to get really close to the stage and feeling like you're part of a "gang of porters and carters" in the early 1600s.

Things to note:

• The standing area isn't covered so make sure you check the weather before you go as you will be at the mercy of the elements and umbrella's are a no-no.
• Make sure you arrive about 30minutes before the start so you can get yourself a ticket (if you don't want to get one online)

• When buying a ticket online, select the YARD when selecting seats.
