London had many places of execution: Tyburn, of course, but also
Smithfield, Wapping, Kennington, Tower Hill and Charing Cross among
others. All of these venues allowed the public to participate -
whether in approval or opposition - and, in the opinion of the
authorities, provided deterrence at a time when even trivial
offences carried the death penalty. Author Robert Bard surveys the
capital's places of execution and seeks to explain the prevailing
appetite of the authorities and the public for such punishment and
such grisly spectacle.
