Description

Join Nick Collinson and discover the darker history of infamous London sites, including Smithfield and the Guildhall, through their connections with executions and changes in the law. From the inventive execution techniques of the Romans to a spine-chilling method of dealing with a very specific type of criminal, hear the intimate stories of these sites, the unfortunate people put to death there and the culture of public punishment in the City.

Please note that this walk will feature descriptions of executions and their aftermath, which some may find upsetting. This tour is graded as moderate access, due to it being a walking tour covering 1.5-2 miles over busy and uneven streets, with a few places to stop and rest. St Paul's Station does not have step-free access. For more information, please see https://tfl.gov.uk/transport-accessibility.
