An overview of how London has treated its criminals throughout history with a dive into some executions which were worse than the crime itself!

An metaphorical atmospheric trip through the grimy backstreets of London, stopping off at Tyburn to marvel at the public executions of the day, travelling all the way through time to the last execution performed in London, meeting the hangman that murdered for money.

Not a talk for the squeamish but for those who are interested in the darker side of history.
