Shakespeare’s London Home Finally Mapped: 1668 Plan Reveals Its Exact Site
TL;DR Summary
A London archive discovery has pinpointed the exact site of William Shakespeare’s London home in Blackfriars using a 1668 plan found in the London Archives. The plan shows the property as an L-shaped building perched over the gatehouse near the Sign of the Cock Tavern and large enough to be subdivided into two houses, suggesting Shakespeare remained professionally engaged in London near the Globe rather than retiring to Stratford after 1613.
