After more than 400 years of mystery, researchers have finally pinpointed the exact location of William Shakespeare's London home.
Although historians have long known that the playwright purchased a property in Blackfriars for £140 in March 1613, the exact coordinates of the building remained unknown for over four hundred years. Scientists from King’s College London have finally solved one of the long-standing mysteries of Shakespeare’s biography. For the first time, they have pinpointed the location of the only house William Shakespeare ever purchased in London.
