Once a site of public executions, this historic square witnessed the final moments of countless souls condemned to meet their fate in several grisly ways. All this occurred under the shadow of St Bartholomew the Great, one of London's oldest churches which we will also discuss.From Smithfield, we'll venture into the eerie world of grave robbers, where the line between life and death blurs and the quest for knowledge knows no bounds for aspiring anatomists.Our journey continues to the site of the Old Bailey formerly Newgate Pr*son, where the walls echoed with the cries of the condemned and the clank of iron chains. Once a symbol of justice and punishment, this forbidding fortress was the end of the road for many condemned criminals.Whether you're a history enthusiast, a lover of mystery and intrigue, or simply curious about the secrets that lie hidden beneath the surface with a few anecdotes thrown in, our walking tour promises to be an unforgettable adventure through London's past.The tour will start at the St Paul's tube station on the Central Line. When you exit, use exit number 2 to your right as you emerge from the escalator. We will assemble by the entrance to the tube outside Cafe Nero.One more piece of advice, the city of London does not have many open establishments at the weekend, so I wouldn't be drinking a coffee just before we start the tour, if you know what I mean!Agenda?: 11:00 AM - 11:15 AMA quick overview of the history of the area?: 11:15 AM - 01:00 PMThe Tour of the West of the city - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/churches-executions-and-grave-robbers-a-city-of-london-tour/100001979455134593 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 13.49, max: 13.49, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: St Paul's Tube Station - **lat**: 51.5157004 - **long**: -0.0999462 - **full address**: St Paul's Tube Station, Newgate, London, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Churches, Executions and Grave Robbers: A City of London Tour - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/5b2976c02b97a8a847d48e4b03c8fb68a745f55e8c0c2b85dadf7c566d10415d-rimg-w1200-h600-dc0865d9-gmir.jpg?v=1767305234 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Churches, Executions and Grave Robbers: A City of London Tour being held? - **A:** Churches, Executions and Grave Robbers: A City of London Tour takes place on Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 11:00 am to Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm at St Paul's Tube Station, Newgate, London, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Churches, Executions and Grave Robbers: A City of London Tour? - **A:** Tickets for Churches, Executions and Grave Robbers: A City of London Tour are priced at GBP 13 per person.
