Capital punishment in London, its history and basis, is the theme of this new book on a darker side of London's history. London had many sites of execution, Tyburn, of course, but also Clerkenwell, Wapping, Kennington and Tower Hill among others. The spectacle, in the opinion of the authorities, provided deterrence, though more often it was a grisly form of public entertainment. The author has researched archives for accounts of executions and the book is well illustrated.
