The theatre was called the Globe Theatre, and the original one burnt down. However, they have built a replica one on the original site, and it now shows Shakespeare's Plays on a regular basis.
There is a good article Iand a picture) about it on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Globe_Theatre

Shakespeare did not build any theatres in London but you may be thinking of The Globe which was built by the company Shakespeare had a stake in.
Here is some info from http://www.william-shakespeare.info/william-shakespeare-globe-theatre.htm
The first proper theater as we know it was called the Theatre, built at Shoreditch, London in 1576 and the owner was James Burbage. James Burbage had obtained a 21 year lease with permission to build the first playhouse, aptly named ' The Theatre '. Before this time plays were performed in the courtyard of inns or inn-yards, or sometimes, in the houses of noblemen or in extreme circumstances on open ground. After the Theatre, further open air playhouses ( theaters ) opened in the London area, including the Rose Theatre (1587), and the Hope Theatre (1613). The most famous Elizabethan playhouse ( theater ) was the Globe Theatre (1599) built by the company in which Shakespeare had a stake - now often referred to as the Shakespearean Globe.

The Globe. But don't know Shakespeare built it! His plays were staged there, as well as in other places. The original burnt down, the replica reproduction was built on the South Bank some time in the 1980s.

Shakespeare's company built the Globe from wood they "stole" in the middle of the night from their previous theater because the landlord there had refused to renew there lease. I have a theory that they deliberately burned down the Globe. See my essay "How Henry's Divorce Led to Global Warming" at http://academia.wikia.com/wiki/How_Henry%27s_Divorce_Led_to_Global_Warming
