The thriving metropolis had a strong royal presence, at the long established Tower of London and Westminster, and later at the palaces of Whitehall, Bridewell, and St James’s. Anne Boleyn was assigned a house in the Strand, while Elizabeth I stayed occasionally at Somerset House. Erasmus lodged with Sir Thomas More and his family in Bucklesbury, off Cheapside; Sir Walter Raleigh wrote poetry in his study in Durham House, overlooking the Thames; and William Shakespeare lodged in Silver Street. Like today, streets and areas grew up with their own distinct personality: Seven Dials was a notorious hive of criminals, while Bankside and Shoreditch were the first theater and entertainment districts, where the Globe Theatre was built to sit alongside and bear-baiting rings." --Publisher description |
