The name of the Globe Theatre (English: The Globe [Theatre]) is generally associated with one of the three theaters in London: until 1642, the theater was home to the Lord Chamberlain’s Men troupe, led by the tragedian Richard Burbage.[1] Many of Shakespeare's works were first performed here. The Globe was the property of many actors who (with one exception) were also shareholders in Lord Chamberlain’s Men. Two of the six Globe shareholders, Richard Burbage and his brother Cuthbert Burbage, owned double shares of 25% each. The other four actors, Shakespeare, John Heminges, Augustine Phillips, and Thomas Pope, held single shares of 12.5% each. (Initially William Kempe intended to be the seventh partner, but he sold his share to the four minority shareholders, leaving them with more than the originally planned 10% each.) These initial proportions changed over time as new shareholders joined.

The Millennium Bridge, or London Millennium Footbridge, is a pedestrian bridge in London that crosses the Thames. The name of the bridge is translated from English as the Bridge of the Millennium, since this structure was built to mark the arrival of the third millennium; the bridge became one of the few large-scale structures built in the capital of England in connection with the Millennium celebrations[1].
