Tudor London was a vibrant capital city, the very hub of English
cultural and political life. 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, built by Henry VIII to host his glittering court. Anne
Boleyn was assigned a house in the Strand, with gardens running
down to the river, while Elizabeth I stayed occasionally at
Somerset House. The great and the good gravitated to the city too:
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: Bankside and Shoreditch were the first
theatre and entertainment districts where the Globe Theatre was
built to sit alongside the bear-baiting rings. Londoners
themselves, and the many immigrants who flocked from the continent,
created a lively, raucous society in the streets, markets and the
hundreds of inns and ale-houses. Everyday Life in Tudor London
vividly recreates this colourful city.
