She was talking about executions at the Tower of London, there were far earlier public executions most notably at Tyburn in 1196 and others at Smithfield, Newgate, Tower Hill and Kennington Common and many more.
To be fair, every street in London has a secret history of some kind - it's just such an old city, and seen so much human life pass through it that it's impossible to not be steeped in stories. This was a great video.
After researching my family ancestry, one of my ancestors was Gervaise Babington. His first cousin was Anthony Babington, the last person to be hung drawn and quartered while still alive. He was tortured and ultimately executed in Lincoln Fields in London. His punishment for treason was such an attraction they didn't have room for everyone at tower hill. The Babingtons were a long line of Sheriffs of Nottingham.
Ey up Boomer, I know youve had difficulties getting certain reactions past UA-cam and their stupid rules but just know we'll watch you react to anything. You always find great content! Keep on mate! Edit: London also has Pudding Lane which was reputedly where the great fire of London broke out although recently that's disputed but most Brits have heard of it.
Agree, and if no time to film reactions, say if PB has kept you up all night, just film yourself dunking a few digestive biscuits into your Yorkshire tea, I'll watch that even :D
Executions were earlier in England as early as the 5th century also the fun fact the phrase 1 for the road came from was when there were executions were at tyburn they use to stop at an inn and the condemned was allowed one more drink before hanging
I love binging history stuff too so the more the merrier, did you ever watch 'The Greatest Raid of All Time' by Jeremy Clarkson? I remember you doing the Victoria Cross one but not the Greatest Raid, I've searched your channel here and Patreon and can't find it, so would love to see your reaction to it, it's an amazing story!
Abby Road, is a historic road in respect from a music industry perspective, Where the very best recordings have been created by all the top musicians and artists, at Abby Road Studios in London, Like Maverick Sabre, Jorja Smith, Emeli Sande, Ella Eyre, JP Cooper, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Noel Gallagher and Novelist. To the iconic and legendary Fontaines D.C., Radiohead, Bjork, The Beatles, Slowthai, Sade, ABBA, Florence + The Machine, Krept & Konan, Johnny Marr, Yussef Dayes, Roxy Music, New Order, Marvin Gaye, Amy Winehouse and The Rolling Stones. Abbey Road is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 26 September 1969. It is the last album the group recorded, although Let It Be was the last album completed before the band's break-up in April 1970. It was mostly recorded in April, July, and August 1969, and reached number one in both the US and the United Kingdom. A double A-side single from the album, "Something" / "Come Together", was released in October, which also topped the charts in the US. 🎧 🇬🇧😎👍🏼 🎤
2:38 - it is from the execution of the 11th Lord Lovatt we get the phrase "laughing your head off". his execution was so well attended one of the stands the crowd gathered on collapsed and he laughed even as the executioners axe fell.
A well known trick question is "How many roads are there in the City of London? Answer:-None. They are all streets or alleys etc No roads. The City of London refers to the Square Mile around the Tower/ St Pauls/Bishopsgate area.
Love both your channels! Best wishes to the Queen and Princess too! By the way, I don't think she anywhere claims they are the MOST historic streets, just that they are 8 of the interesting historic streets. You could probably just as easily pick 8 more and do another great video.
Always good to see a bit of history. Ex Londoner having worked there for 25 years - in many different locations - and have to say I do know my way around much of Central London and the South. Miss those days, but my youth is no more and well quieter days on the coast is now my life.
I dont know if you ever seen tom hardy in taboo that was on bbc a few years ago . That was very good and i believe season 2 is coming out in the near future
At one time Londons main shopping street (Oxford Street) was on the main way to the major execution site. At what is now Marble Arch was the Tyburn tree which was a 3 sided hanging site.There were 3 uprights connected with 3 crossbeams. The tree was used to hang 3 people at once. Certainly a very public execution.
Yeah good call KB , I regularly watch Conor’s channel too , his strapline is he likes to learn and he likes to laugh- a good mix that I can heartily agree with . That strapline is easily applied to your own channel too , THATS why I subscribed . Simon Sudbury’s head was rescued , boiled and is still in a cupboard in a church in England - gory but true 😅 👍🏴
You should watch horrible histories, it would be great for teaching your little one some history when they get a bit older but would be a good laugh for you and queen boomer now, taught most British kids history better than teachers lol
Not any more. The BBC is being prosecuted for making false claims, especially regarding some 'Horrible Histories' episodes. I hope they are fined and exposed and go bust for the sheer impertinence of trying to rewrite history and miseducate children.
I also love a good history video and would absolutely watch if you posted more. I would recommend Modern History TV for some interesting bite sized history videos.
If you're looking for something a bit different, I've discovered Steve Marsh. The channel's got a bit of everything. Alot of it is travelling and hiking in Scotland however he does challenges and travels further afield too. There's some history in the videos here and there too. He's often accompanied by his girlfriend too.
The last beheading of lord lovett, his much later relative and the 15th lord lovett was officer commanding 1st special service brigade on d-day and portrayed in the film the longest day, he had a piper (bill millan) who played the bagpipes into battle.
The Kray twins received letters calling them to begin their national service at the Tower of London with the Royal Fusiliers in March 1952. They were imprisoned for a few days when they didnt turn up.
The guy with the Piccadilly collar looks like yourself, you should get one for your history videos! It's interesting that you study UA-cam videos for content about London or the UK, I do the same for the USA- often fall asleep to taxi drivers driving around New York !
Few ideas for you to check out KB - accents, funny names of streets or towns, olde English pronunciation or language, traditional foods, archaic words, history of swear words Edit: She missed loads of streets out - Baker Street, Brick Lane, Portbello Road, Abbey Road, Savile Row, Oxford Street, Pudding Lane
She didn't mention Bishopsgate, to do with the Roman Empire or London Bridge. Anyway you should check out top 10 places to visit in the UK. Its really a magnificent video of highlighting some remarkably beautiful places across the 4 nation's of the United Kingdom.
No mention of Pudding Lane, where the Great fire of London began or Baker Street, home of the fictional Sherlock Holmes. The Mall should have been mentioned too, IMO.
There's an interesting story about a guy named Jack (John) Sheppard who was a young 18th century Englishman who was repeatedly imprisoned in London jails for petty crimes ( you could be hung for stealing a loaf of bread England at one point) but escaped on numerous occasions - maybe one for you to have a look at - he was nicknamed Honest John Also Charles Dickens father was imprisoned in a debtors prison - I think his childhood shaped his future and his writing about being poor and trying to make life better for the underdogs in society - I think there'll be some videos about debtors prisons and also the Workhouses - I absolutely love history there's so much stuff to learn Another interesting one is about Baby Farming in London during the Victorian era - poor parents put their babies in the care of women (Baby Farmers) until they could take care of them themselves - but one of them Amelia Hobley was killing the babies and keeping the money the parents were sending her - shocking
Two hundred years ago in Britain you could be hanged for stealing from rabbit warrens, hiding an unplanned pregnancy and being outside a night with a blackened face.
There was a film made about Jack Shepherd starring Tommy Steele as Jack. Stanley Baker was also in it. I think it was made in 1969. I have only seen once, but it was a decent film.👍
I like to think I'm not someone who'll just shill anything at all, but folks, if boomer cant get as many tv shows on UA-cam recently, his Patreon is pretty damn good and consistent, too. (I, for one, also love non-TV show content such as videos like this, too!)
Denmark Street's probably worth a mention. It certainly *used* to be the place to go to check out guitars and instruments, used to be almost all instruments retailers. Lots of history and famous faces back in the day.
Edgware Road and Oxford Street, right by the Marble Arch. This junction was the site of the Tyburn Gallows, otherwise known as the Tyburn Tree, where numerous criminals were publicly executed and met their gruesome end. During the 1570’s it was recorded that 704 prisoners lost their lives at the Tyburn Tree, for crimes ranging from murder to stealing cattle. In 1759 the structure was taken down and replaced with a gallows that could be put up and dismantled whenever needed until 1873 when the last execution at the Tree took place.
I'd say a few other famous streets in London include Saville Row known for bespoke men's' tailoring. Harley Street synonymous with medicine. Portobello Road with its markets. Baker Street with its Sherlock Homes reference and Gerry Rafferty's song of the same name.
I know you like history and enjoyed the video on the Victoria Cross. There is WWII video which I think you would like - "Thirteen hours which save Britain".
I watched a video about the foundling museum in London, women would leave their babies there with a piece of dress or ribbon so they could identify the children if circumstances became different and they were able to look after them. Also a good watch is the worst jobs in history hosted by Blackadders Tony Robinson, he doesn't mind getting dressed up for the jobs in hand or mucking in and some of those jobs were very very mucky!
I wouldn’t say they are the most historic, but interesting nevertheless. Public executions were a regular sight since London’s founding, she just meant at that spot by the Tower.
She was only talking about executions in Tower Hill, not everywhere. Not the best list of historic streets, there are many more. Oxford Street, Cheepside, Fish Street, The Strand, Pudding Lane, Old Kent Road, to name just a few more.
I leaved in balaclava road in bermondsey South London 4 doors down from the Richardson family now as the torture gang I didn't now at time but thay terrorised the kray twins until the were locked away for murder then krays took over mad😮

Pudding lane where the great fire of London started.

They were talking about killings in the tower of London, not in general the last public killing in London happened in 1868.

I was going to suggest Pudding Lane too. Probably the most historically known street in London

I miss these! 😢 Thanks for this one KB 🤗
Loving you back on the History stuff

When she said the first and last executions, these were public and in Tower Hill. Executions in London happened before and after those dates.
You should watch horrible histories, it would be great for teaching your little one some history when they get a bit older but would be a good laugh for you and queen boomer now, taught most British kids history better than teachers lol
Not any more. The BBC is being prosecuted for making false claims, especially regarding some 'Horrible Histories' episodes. I hope they are fined and exposed and go bust for the sheer impertinence of trying to rewrite history and miseducate children.
...and that's barely scratching the surface! London is like Rome, you can feel the history of the place seeping through the soles of your shoes.
Hey there, your majesty!! I'm not sure these are the most historic streets but it was still an interesting video.
there are so many more historic streets as well , yes we are old very old and I love it . 😊
Great stuff, KB. Very interesting. ♥

Simon Sudbury’s head is preserved in St Gregory’s church in Sudbury.
Anyone remember Wayne's World 2? The boys fly to London;
Wayne: "here we are Garth, Piccadilly Circus"
Garth: "wow, what a shitty circus!"
I also love a good history video and would absolutely watch if you posted more. I would recommend Modern History TV for some interesting bite sized history videos.

She’s citing execution’s at Tower Hill. Last public execution in London was in fact around the 1860s
I need more of your peep show bro. I love that stuff
2:35 how do you hack someone’s head off with a mop?😂😂
The Kray twins received letters calling them to begin their national service at the Tower of London with the Royal Fusiliers in March 1952. They were imprisoned for a few days when they didnt turn up.
I got married in Fleet Street, St Brides church steeple is the inspiration for the modern tiered wedding cake!

George Cornel was shot in the Blind Begger pub, not George Corner.
I think she meant the first and last public executions at Tower Hill, next to the Tower of London (the name for the castle).
Few ideas for you to check out KB - accents, funny names of streets or towns, olde English pronunciation or language, traditional foods, archaic words, history of swear words
Edit: She missed loads of streets out - Baker Street, Brick Lane, Portbello Road, Abbey Road, Savile Row, Oxford Street, Pudding Lane
Oxford Street, Brick lane, Wigmore Street, Carnaby Street
Ooh Tom Hardy! What an actor, what a man! Just going for a lie down your majesty! 🏴
Useless fact:- The oldest street in London is Bishopsgate which dates back to the Roman period.
That was very good but all of it was fairly recent history compared with how old London is. Surprised she didn't cover Smithfield.
She didn't mention Bishopsgate, to do with the Roman Empire or London Bridge. Anyway you should check out top 10 places to visit in the UK. Its really a magnificent video of highlighting some remarkably beautiful places across the 4 nation's of the United Kingdom.
No mention of Pudding Lane, where the Great fire of London began or Baker Street, home of the fictional Sherlock Holmes. The Mall should have been mentioned too, IMO.
WOW incredible... I`m a Britt and have learned new info
KB. Do you go to Camden Yards? see the O's won 10-1 in spring training.
There's an interesting story about a guy named Jack (John) Sheppard who was a young 18th century Englishman who was repeatedly imprisoned in London jails for petty crimes ( you could be hung for stealing a loaf of bread England at one point) but escaped on numerous occasions - maybe one for you to have a look at - he was nicknamed Honest John
Also Charles Dickens father was imprisoned in a debtors prison - I think his childhood shaped his future and his writing about being poor and trying to make life better for the underdogs in society - I think there'll be some videos about debtors prisons and also the Workhouses - I absolutely love history there's so much stuff to learn
Another interesting one is about Baby Farming in London during the Victorian era - poor parents put their babies in the care of women (Baby Farmers) until they could take care of them themselves - but one of them Amelia Hobley was killing the babies and keeping the money the parents were sending her - shocking

I RECOMMEND HIGHLY "THE CLEANER" WITH GREG DAVIES...2 SEASONS HILARIOUS AND TOUCHING👍👍👍❤❤❤❤and Aunt Meets guests!!👍❤
My favourite Tom Hardy performance was in the Taboo series. Legend was great but Taboo was brilliant.

you should have a look at what london bridge used to look like when people lived on it, i thought that was mad fjrst time i saw.
Have a look and see if you can find the Poppy tributes at the Tower of London in 2014 and 2018. Take no notice of the Kray's... Self publicists.
Edgware Road and Oxford Street, right by the Marble Arch. This junction was the site of the Tyburn Gallows, otherwise known as the Tyburn Tree, where numerous criminals were publicly executed and met their gruesome end.

In 1759 the structure was taken down and replaced with a gallows that could be put up and dismantled whenever needed until 1873 when the last execution at the Tree took place.
Just the name Tyburn terrifies me.
I reckon she meant earliest execution of people imprisoned within the tower of london as opposed to earliest in london
I'd say a few other famous streets in London include Saville Row known for bespoke men's' tailoring. Harley Street synonymous with medicine. Portobello Road with its markets. Baker Street with its Sherlock Homes reference and Gerry Rafferty's song of the same name.
Interesting video, I’m a wiser person for watching it. Well done Boomer!
Use to drink in the Blind Beggar, I live in Bethnal Green.
I was in London today!
If you like Tom Hardy performances you should watch Bronson, where he plays Charles Bronson UKs most notorious prisoner
Recommend London walks videos by Joolz. Try Covent Garden in particular.
I think that only Whitechapel Road is on the Monopoly board.
If it was actually mentioned.
You should check out the movie "the krays" which stars Martin and Gary Kemp (real life twin actors and lead guitarists of Spandau Ballet) as the Krays
Lived in London my whole life.
You should watch the film ‘The Krays’ it’s from 1990 and stars brothers Martin & Gary Kemp
Yeah I'll react to that, sure.
History Hit is a great channel.
I was working at the cabinet office - 70 Whitehall (connected to Downing Street) when the IRA mortar bombed Downing Street.
Alice Loxton makes great history videos and often found on the History Hit channel.
Tom hardy was way better in Bronson than legend. Check it out dude
This is spot on. By far his best film, but maybe a few problematic scenes for a UA-cam watch through!
Watch Essex boys
You might be interested in the history of Broad Street. It's tied directly to the medical discovery of how Cholera spreads
I know you like history and enjoyed the video on the Victoria Cross. There is WWII video which I think you would like - "Thirteen hours which save Britain".

TOM HARDY IS GREAT IN SERIES "TATTOO"👍👍👍
Oi Oi!
Nice one guv'nor!
If you like the history of London then Jay Foreman (from Map Men that you reacted to a short while ago) does a great Unfinished London series
Do a video on York!
SERIES "WHITECHAPEL" IS EXCELLENT👍👍👍👍
I wouldn’t say they are the most historic, but interesting nevertheless. Public executions were a regular sight since London’s founding, she just meant at that spot by the Tower.

Come on Tom Hardy in "Bronson" - Hardy and Super Hans together at last, what's not to like!?
Ever tried HP Sauce? Approved by Royalty and named after the Houses of Parliament.
I leaved in balaclava road in bermondsey South London 4 doors down from the Richardson family now as the torture gang I didn't now at time but thay terrorised the kray twins until the were locked away for murder then krays took over mad😮
Last hanging was 20th century right into 40s an 50s but those were behind doors in private but public execution is dif
There were executions earlier and later. They were just at other places in the city
