Answer:

Puritan leaders had playhouses and theaters banned from the city of London because they felt that the theatre prevented people from going to church

another example is Puritan leaders had playhouses and theaters banned from the city of London because they felt that the theatre prevented people from going to church. ... Playhouses were banned from the city limits of London (London proper) so they were built in the surrounding suburbs/outskirts of London.
