Crime and Punishment Tour

It was really cold and wet today in London, but I did a guided tour anyways. I did a tour on Crime and Punishment- all about the notorious criminals from about 1400 to Victorian times. Really interesting, even if it was cold.


The Criminal Court's- once the home of Newgate prison- in Victorian times, those condemned to death stayed here
The Church of St. Sepulcre- right across from the Criminal Courts
Hens and Chickens Court- Sweeney Todd's barber shop was allegedly on the corner
The steeple of St. Brides
Bridewell Theatre- one of the fringe theatres in London
