Join Sinead with Tours by Foot on a journey through London's dark side! This video showcases seemingly innocent London locations that used to be the sites of public execution. Hear the stories of the Catholic martyrs on Tower Hill, and the Protestant Counterparts in Smithfield. Learn about the infamous Tyburn Tree, stand on the site of a former prison execution yard and visit a public park with a horrific past.

You are amazing. Thank you for all this history.

OMG!!! I am from Kentucky in the United States, and I absolutely LOVE Sinead's tours!! She is absolutely amazing!! I watched her Jack the Ripper tour for at least the 9th or 10th time just last night and I can't believe I caught this video just as it premiered!! Thank you so much, Sinead and ToursbyFootLondon!!!
Thank you enormously for this amazing comment

Means the world
Sinead
I'm from North Carolina and I have to agree with you that I love her Jack the Ripper tour and have watched it several times over.
Too many sadistic psychopaths in society. Anyone who would watch the ripper video 10 times is of a dodgy mindset as is the narrator of this video. I switched off before long listening to her revelling in far fetched nonsense.
Thank you so much. I'm a senior now, who has wanted to go to England. I know now, it's never going to happen. Seeing your tours all over London allow me to go there thru you.
It means the world to me.
❤
We are so glad that we can help you travel virtually, Janice x
I'm a Londoner and I love your tours Sinead. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Susan Good morning. I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺
I absolutely love your tours and as a London BusDriver for over 27 years, I love the history of London.
I'm English and married an Irish Girl.
It's definitely the accent that melts me.
Plus the no nonsense say what you mean.
Ooohhh you absolutely know us so well
Thanks for supporting the channel means the world
Sinead
Presentation, Pace, Production, Information, Anecdotes..absolutely FASCINATING! Well done.
Glad that you enjoyed the video! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Utah visitors to London a few weeks ago, Sinead did an amazing tour about Jack the Ripper! Definitely planning another tour when we return. Thanks again for introducing us to your channel.
I absolutely love these tours!
Walking tours are the best way to really get to know a new location and connect with the history.
Sinead, you are a treasure.
I hope to book a tour with you the next time I visit London!
We are so glad you're enjoying the videos! And we definitely hope to see you in person :)
What a lovely surprise, a tour from Sinead, I love London history although it’s a brutal one this one

Fantastic tour Sinead and so interesting. Thank you 🌟👍

What a fabulous comment
Thank you sincerely

amazing video again! i first found your videos by accident in lockdown and got hooked! I visited london for the first time this year and saw quite a few sites and need to see more yet! and because of you i booked onto a tour, the guide was good but was gutted it wasn't your tour - i did tell him to tell you to keepn up the great work lol anyways keep on making the amazing and informative content :)
Wonderful Sinead, another banger! I feel spoilt with these recent uploads. Always makes my day!
Your Jack the Ripper episode / video was top of the line! Excellent! ❤ this channel!
I am absolutely obsessed with sinead. I live in England and have been to London many times . I have learnt so much from sinead and my absolute fave tour guide!!!!
Great History lesson. I can't help but think we should bring some of it back :)
We couldn't possibly comment ;)
@@ToursbyFootLondon But we know what your thinking he he he
Love your videos Sinead❤❤
I am literally making my way through all of your videos! Despite I live in London and I have been to the tower of London your teaching me things I had no idea about! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you sincerely
Sinead, I was so intrigued by this video I had to wach it again. I'm surprised that theres not a bigger memorial of the tyburn Gallows instead of a sewer cover. It deserves the respect like the statue or something more. Thank you for such an in depth knowledge of London History that you have and share with us. Aussie Roger the Wombat !!!!!
Thanks for your support, Roger! We are delighted you enjoyed this one.
Hmmmm,my reply didn't make the grade,because I named the Priminister.
But basically he will be bringing it back for his opposition.
Should be quite authentic,standing there on the original site.
Thanks!
Thank you sincerely lovely
Sinead
Small point but Anne Boleyn was tried in the great hall (now demolished) of the Tower of London, not Westminster Hall.
So happy to be able to go on another video tour with Sinead. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for joining me x
Just so nice to hear from you Sinead..Top Girl Top Info..Thank You
Although I love all your guides and stories, the haunted, dark, and macbre tours are my favorite. Greetings from the U.S.
Couldn’t agree with you more
Love the Dark Side
Sinead
Lovely guided tour, thanks so much!
I'd love to see a tour of Roman sites in London too.
That's definitely on the list! Make sure to subscribe so you can see it when it comes :)
Sinead is an awesome storyteller!!! Great tours

Good God, this is quite horrific😱 and I'm sat here eating me tea😮😲🍽🥘😱

Very informative Sinead Thank you so much for another walk on the dark side video!
Thank you so much for another amazing tour, Sinead!
I started following you during lockdown and I greatly appreciate each of your tours. Always well researched and brilliantly presented.
I would love to host and show you around Cape Town, South Africa.
I may hold you to that

Came here to point that out. Kept hollering at the screen "Pole!"
@cynthiahogan4598 trust me my slip of the tongue will haunt me for the rest of my days x
I was spellbound with shivers listening to this. Fabulous as usual Sinead and thanks x
Great to see another video from you, Sinead. Horrifying topic but it’s a part of history that we shouldn’t forget.
From South Carolina , love your videos
Only you my dear Sinead can cover this topic with such grace & a bit of whimsy. Lovely
I sent donation luv but didn't see in my comment 😂😂❤
Wasn't Ringo sent to "The Old Bailey " in " A Hard Days Night" for about 5 min?
The Grandfather says He'll be pumped by now " followed by the others saving him.The police are offering him a cup of tea😂😅
Another QUALITY PRODUCT from our WORLD FAMOUS Sinead.
Very interesting keep up the great work. Just love all the tours and am spending time going through them again. Love from down under.
Glad you liked this one, Sandy!
Thank you Sinead another excellent video, you put so much into your tours. Again, you are amazing.
I literally just watched a Tiktok about Lady Jane and her husband executed. Hello from New Zealand, love your work Sinead 🙌
Such a sad story. She was used and abused by everyone around her all of her short life.
She might have survived if her relatives hadn't tried a second plot against Mary.
So much historical info, plus so interesting. Thank you so much Sinead looking forward to the next tour. 💕🇦🇺
Sinead, your looking fantastic with your tan and new hair style, your a credit to your job . The dark history concerning London is absolutely mind blowing I'm certainly glad l wasn't around in those days .
Thank you sweets
Always a pleasure to hear from you Levi
Sinead

Just found you on UA-cam. Absolutely wonderful. I live in NZ and have ancestry in England and other parts of Europe. Charles Dickens is my gt gt gt grandfather (or maybe one more gt) since you mentioned him. This video was absolutely epic. To see the site in modern times, as if I was there, was wondefful. I have never been to England, and niether has my Mum who can no longer travel. But we both would love to be there. So, this vid was wonderful. Thank you. We look forward to watching more of your stuff 💖
Welcome to the channel!
Incredible video Sinead! Are you sure you’re not pulling my leg before I have one for the road & have to be on the wagon? Stay well 😊
Excellent tour. I learned a lot. I'd love to go back to London after learning about all these places to satisfy my morbid curiosity. I hope the other videos are as engaging as this. 🙂👍🏻☮️
Glad that you enjoyed the video! If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Oh thats what happened to him...! I have been wondering for ages, why we no longer see Mel Gibbson in movies anymore 😲 Thank you Sinead for clearing that one up for me 😊 haha. Great video as always, keep safe & keep smiling ☺
Great video. 👍
"inefficient policing and lack of prison space..." 🤔 Sadly this could be describing England in 2024!
Never thought of that but it’s definitely relevant
Jayne Seymour isn’t buried at the tower of London, she’s at St Georges,s chapel with Henry.
That she is a slip of the tongue on my part
Thanks for watching
Sinead
You do such wonderful tours, Sinead! Thank you!
fantastic tour of london sinead.very interesting thank you for another great london tour take care sinead.
love your videos ..keep them coming please sinead,,i could listen to you all day ...
Hi Sinead , hope you are well , I haven’t been around for a while , but I am looking forward to this video, I find these grim and gruesome videos the most entertaining, and also the Christmas specials looking forward to watching them .
Respect,
Dermot .
It is lovely to see your name pop back up, Dermot!
I started watching your tours during Covid, starting with your Jack the Ripper tour. My teenage daughter got hooked on your videos as well (I'm from Newry so she says she loves your accent). So after learning so much from your tours, she made the decision to go to go university at Oxford. Her favorite thing to do on weekend is to train into London and try to follow your tours. I'm forever grateful to you for helping my daughter see that university abroad can be a great thing. She is even considering LSE for graduate school - she may never return to our home in Pennsylvania damn you.
I will never ever be able to repay the compliment this comment has truly bestowed upon me
To have such an intelligent passionate and ambitious young lady to be amongst my followers entices and encourages me to keep filming
Thank you sincerely for your amazing compliment and if your young lady is ever in need of a friend in London don’t hesitate to contact me at Sineadfc@hotmail.com
Sorry to tear her away from you but rest assured she has a friend in London
Thank you sincerely

This video was so interesting thank you soo much, your in-depth knowledge and clear language made it an easy and entertaining watch, I’m 40 now and I’ve never visited our great capital so videos like this is really interesting for someone like me, I probably leant more from 30 mins listening to you than I did back in history class all those years back 🤣🤦♂️ thanks again I’ll defo be watching more of your content, MASSIVE thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻

You certainly put a lot of work into filming and editing in you videos, well done. 😊

To much information in one video. love it. going to watch all your videos
Loved the explanation of the drinking phrases been using them for 60 years without knowing or thinking of the origins, next time someone says "have one for the road" i might just refuse!
Hi Sinead awesome live video walk I enjoyed it. How are you doing? I'm doing well and so is my cat Benjamin have a great weekend see you next video 😊
Lovely to hear from you Michelle
Sinead
All of those hangings. I've heard of "Swinging" London, but this is ridiculous. Bad joke aside, this was another great video. Thank you, Sinead! You truly are a gifted guide.
Love u! Interesting as hell, good work
Sinead !!!! havnt seen you in ages !! thank you for your videos !!!
You haven’t ??? Subscribe lovely you’ll see me every week
Sinead
@@ToursbyFootLondon oh i will !!! thank you Sinead , take care ...Shaun.
Great historical infirmation
.I've heard and read about a lot of this but you bring it to life, probably a poor choice of words considering. I plan to add you to my much watch list...💥💥😅
Hah! Welcome to the channel :)
You mentioned the origin of "hangover" but cant find where you told that bit....The others like "on the wagon" and "one for the road" but i cant find Hangover. Did i miss something ? Love these vids. Thank you
The best video I've ever seen!!! I am from SW Louisiana and I just loved your tour! I'm now a new subscriber!!!! So glad this came up on my feed. Thank you for such a wonderful tour of London. I will be power watching your tours. Thank you so very much!
Welcome to the channel, Karrie! We are glad you found us :)
Good afternoon, Sinead. I enjoy your tours. But I think that you misspoke when you said that Jane Seymour is buried in The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula in the Tower of London. I am pretty sure that she was buried in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
Indeed she is Kimberely well spotted
Sinead
Oh yeah of course. Jane Grey is the one in the tower
I enjoyed this one. Even though its a horrid topic. Thanks for taking us along.
Interestingly an ancestor of mine, Lord Winter of Gloucester was held in the Tower of London for refusing to pledge allegiance to Oliver Cromwell. Thomas Wynter of Gunpowder Plot fame is a distant cousin to the Winters of Gloucester
Is the marble arch mound still there or was this recorded some time ago? No matter though, thank you as always Sinead for a top notch informative and entertaining tour. I don't get down to 'the smoke' as often as I'd like, but whenever i do i try to see as many of the places you show us as i can. Bless you Ma'am and thank you.
The Marble Arch footage was older, yes :) Come see us next time you're in town!
I Loved Your Jack the Ripper Tour Video! I Love Your Historic London Tours! This is going to be good I know it. ❤
Imagine being executed for damaging a rabbit warren! The executioners must have been some very grim fellows----especially carrying out drawn-and-quartering people. I assume that if Jack the Ripper had been caught and convicted, he would have been put to dearh . Fascinating history, Sinead.
Thank you. I always enjoy your walks.
Thank you Greg

Man those were brutal times. Scary as hell 😮😮😮😮😮😮
How casual they were about brutal execution
Amazes me
Sinead
It's sad too 😢@@ToursbyFootLondon
If you think this was bad, imagine living in France during the Revolution- where every word that was said may have been reported of you as a traitor to the state! I often wonder just how many people died because of heresay or greed/ jealousy etc of your neighbor. ..
Incredible history. Another awesome presentation. 🌈☘😎🏳⚧🏳🌈
ThanksSinead you never disappoint
Glad to hear it, Jennifer!
It's no small wonder when someone was sentenced to transportation to first to the American Colonies, mainly Virginia, Georgia later to Australia was seen as deliverance.
So true Tom
They sent all the religious nutters to America and the criminals to Australia.
love your blogs... love history
We are glad you are enjoying the channel!
Very interesting if disturbing .
“Remember Remember the 5th of November”
So basically Saudi Arabia and rest of the Arab world are in the same place Britain used to be 100s of years ago...
Oh girl! LOVE alittle darkness. I love history and spooky!!❤
Us, too!
William Stanley was the brother of H7's step father, Lord Thomas Stanley. Ironically, William and Thomas both helped H7 at Bosworth Field against R3.
Omg so interesting.
Delighted you think so Pamela x

Interesting John in Chicago
Happy 139K plus subs!
I worked around the site of William Wallace execution site and knew it was there but had no idear about the site where bloody Mary executioned all those people .Very interesting great tour.
I think I saw you near Aldgate East Station on Wednesday or Thursday Sinead.
Most likely been down there all week
@@ToursbyFootLondon I should have asked for your autograph and had a photo taken with you Sinead. Keep up the great work.
@@harddriven1344 omg an autograph lol 😂😂😂 Say hello next time
@@ToursbyFootLondon I will Sinead, the only problem is I live in Suffolk and come to London about once every two months.
Greetings from Indiana
😘
But Jane Setmour is buried in Windsor and the Countess od Salisbury was called Margaret Pole (not Pope) ;-)
You are indeed correct!
