The Tudor monarchs had a royal residence in London called Whitehall Palace and another in the countryside,called Hampton Court, after Cardinal Wolsey gave it to Henry VIII.These Tudor kings and queens used what are now famous parks , such as Regent's park or Hyde Park, as Royal hunting forests.
Not many Tudor buildings survive today, mostly because of were destroy , which happened in 1560. Besides, , the 13 religious houses in London were either converted for private use or pulled down for building materials after the Dissolution of the monasteries, which was Henry VIII's most decisive step against the power of the church in 1538.
Apart from that, the theatres were banned from the city by Reformation because Rather, the city authorities (read guilds) thought they wasted workmen's time. Then, they were built in 1599, where now a reconstruction of the Globe can be visited to learn about Tudor theatre.
At that time, London's financial rival was the city of Southwark, and to be able to compete with it , the Globe was created in 1599.
So, all in all, and because of many other events and facts, we can say that both London and England were important cities over the world.
