The Secrets of London’s Grisly Execution Sites
The Secrets of London’s Grisly Execution Sites' London is one of the most historic cities in the world, which means, it’s been home to some of the most famous executions in history. For the most minor crimes - cutting down trees, damaging Westminster Bridge, stealing from a rabbit warren or impersonating a Chelsea Pensioner - to more serious - murder, arson, robbery and treason - all of these could result in a journey to the gallows. In this video, Alice Loxton visits some of London’s most famous execution sites, many of which are hidden in plain site, from Newgate Prison to Wapping Execution Dock - famous for hosting executions of some of the most infamous pirates in history.
