The streets, markets, and inns were lively and raucous, creating a vibrant society.

Tudor London, a bustling capital city, was the epicenter of English cultural and political life. With a strong royal presence at the Tower of London, Westminster, and later at the palaces of Whitehall, Bridewell, and St. James, built by Henry VIII to host his glittering court, Tudor London was a hub of activity. 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, with Erasmus lodging with Sir Thomas More and his family in Bucklesbury, Sir Walter Raleigh writing poetry in his study in Durham House overlooking the Thames, and William Shakespeare lodging in Silver Street. Like today, streets and areas grew up with their own distinct personality, with Bankside and Shoreditch being 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 colorful city, offering a glimpse into the daily lives of its inhabitants.
