 The playhouse stood less than an acre of land in Lurklane, occupying of frontage on what became Walworth Road and bounded to the south by a drainage ditch (or "sewer" in the language of the time).Ingram uses Commissions of Sewers records of 1576–1578 to deduce that the actor Jerome Savage lived adjacent to the sewer and thus the playhouse was in the northern part of the plot.The Reliance Building used to occupy the site; it is now under the southern roundabout of the Elephant and Castle junction.
