Day 3 we were up fairly early and headed to the restaurant for the continental breakfast (same food as Days 1 and 2 but filling). We walked around the corner to Victoria Station and took the train to Monument Square. From there we walked across the bridge to the Globe Theatre replica. There was a nice museum about Shakespeare and the history of the Globe Theatre. When our tour was finally called, we toured the theatre. A group of school children were there performing a Shakespeare play. We learned a lot about the theatre and how fire destroyed the original one - a cannon shot during a performance met up with thatch roofing and destroyed the building. 
While it was nice to see this, I think it would have had more of an impact to see an actual performance onstage. Unfortunately we were there during the off season and no performances (other than school children rehearsing) were taking place.
After the tour we walked across the Millenium Bridge and caught the train to Tower Hill where we would visit the famous Tower of London.
