We don't know when he moved to London; it was some time between 1585 and 1592. And he never completely moved there, because he always kept his address in Stratford where his wife and family lived. Mostly he just worked in London, but that meant that he had to stay there a lot. That was probably the reason he went to London--he was looking for work. For some reason, he started working with a theatre company. Maybe his printer friend steered him that way, or maybe he had seen people acting in Stratford and had fallen in love with the idea. We really don't know. There is an old story that he had to flee Stratford because he was escaping from the law, but the details don't really add up. It's more romantic than believable.
We know almost nothing about Shakespeare's early life, but sometime in the 1580's he seems to arrive in London and begin to work as a playwright. We do not know whether he traveled to London from Stratford upon Avon, where he grew up, or whether he had lived somewhere else in the meantime.
