Shakespeare lets us in on this sense of Ephesus as a veiled London with two small but significant references. Lots of the play’s action circulate around two locations: the Porpentine inn, and merchant Antipholus’s house, the Phoenix. These are significant because both were London locations familiar to Shakepeare’s audiences. The Porpentine was, in fact, a famous London inn situated on the south bank of the river Thames, walking distance from the Globe. When Antipholus of Ephesus tells Angelo the merchant to meet him at the Porpentine, where he is dining (3.1.116), and in other mentions throughout the play, Londoners were placed right in the heart of the play’s slippery confusion over location. Similarly, Antipholus’s house is called the Phoenix, which was a famous shop in Lombard Street, a crucial trading district in Shakespeare’s London.
