The lease on the land (that the Globe Theater was originally on) was up, and the landlord wasn't willing to rent the land out, so the members of the Globe basically dismantled the theater piece by piece and moved to the other side of the Thames! :)
Shakespeares globe is on the side of the river thames
The original Globe theater burned down centuries ago. An exact replica has been built in London on the south side of the Thames and enjoys regular productions. It is in excellent condition.
Bankside, London (the south side of the Thames)
It used to be on the other side but Shakespeare's rent was raised so he moved it over to the south.
at the globe theatre opposite the river thames. apparently the globe had a flag on the top of it so that the other people on the other side of the thames new there was going to be a play performed at the globe theatre.

You could get to the Globe Theatre or any of the other Southwark theatres from London by boat, or across London Bridge by walking, riding or in a carriage. However, a boat would not help you if you wanted to go to the Blackfriars Theatre, or the Curtain Theatre, or the Theatre Playhouse, all of which Shakespeare performed in, because these theatres were all on the same side of the River Thames as the City of London. You could walk or ride to these from a number of directions.
Side entrances led to towers where the audience could climb stairs to the second and third story seats.
