- In this video, Sinead, a tour guide with Free Tours by Foot takes you on a journey inside the City of London to discover the Old Bailey and learn about its dark past. MORE LONDON WALKS - • Playlist .
This is de facto part 2 of our unofficial "executions series".

That is beautiful! Thank you for the tour. What is the hideous, monstrously dull box building with gross colours across the street from it? Why did they build that eyesore? It reeks of Communist, hateful of nature and beauty, dull architecture. Why would they barf that onto the street across from such an historic and beautifully built building? Good grief. That sure is UGLY.
Can you please do a walking tour of jewish london?
The old Bailey is just a crown court and is no more senior than any other crown court
It's just more famous
The courts of the criminal system are
• magistrates court (civil equivalent county court)
• Crown court
• (civil equivalent high court with *LIMITED* jurisdiction over crown court)
• Court of appeal
• Supreme Court
Very much enjoyed that Sinead. Just to say, 'Sepulchre' is usually pronounced, Sēppal - ka.
@@Keithbarber she's talking about the actual building. The Old Bailey is where hideous crimes, such as serial killings, famous National prosecutions, and general celebre horriblis crimes are tried.
She is correct, in that crown courts tend to be geographically local to the criminal, whereas the old Bailey is the central court for National trials.
Listing the levels of judicial court is irrelevant, as they are just non mortar definitions.
I love how you present the tours. You make everyone who watches the video feel as if they are there. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I love your storytelling throughout the tours. It makes them very engaging. Are you still doing live stream tours?
Some more coming up in the future just need to get a handle on the nerves before hand lol
Thanks for watching Montana
Sinead
I love Sinead's tours. Her tours are very engaging.
We love that you love them :)
Last execution in UK was Gwynne Owen Evans in what was still then Strangeways, Manchester & Peter Anthony Allen in Walton, Liverpool, both on 13th August 1964.
She said public execution, the last public execution was in 1854? Damnit icr what year she said but it was the early to mid 1800s. Im too lazy to go back and check haha
She said public execution were normaly there would be hundreds of people watching.
@@nomdeplume2213 the last public execution in the UK was Michael Barrett at Newgate on 26 May 1868.
Love your tours, Sinead! Really enjoy learning about the dark side of London. Thank you look forward to seeing more!

Our pleasure.
This is a great video! Thanks for sharing my friend!
Thanks for watching!
excellent video sinead
Hey Sinead love your tours can't get enough of them 💯💯
Robert Peel (1788-1850) the founder of the first new Metropolitan Police Force Service at Scotland Yard in 1829.
Thank you. Visited the Old Bailey and the security to get inside there is amazing. Very historic building. Try to get inside for a tour. It is well worth it.
Agreed!
If you go into the viaduct tavern, the. bar staff will take you into the cellar which leads into a couple of the cells from Newgate gaol. We went in there after being on your Jack the Ripper tour last Friday
Thanks for the tip. We hope to be allowed to film there in the future.
Excellent thank you...very well researched and presented...👍

I was on jury service many years ago in court one on a murder case absolutely fascinating and interesting.
We’ll now I’m beyond jealous
Thanks for watching

Loving these videos. Would love to see more about the execution sites, spooky sites etc things like that. Very interesting
Stay tuned Caroline already filmed , will be posting over the coming weeks
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Hello, I was in London back in 2017 at Christmas time. I know it's a little early but I think a vidio of London at Christmas would be beautiful. Keep up the good work I always learn something new everytime I watch a video. Stay safe
Probably a bit too early :), but we will be exploring the Christmas markets and light displays for sure.
Sinead . I now realize that on your tours you are talking to me and I am not intruding .Fantastic 1_2_1 for all to see. Lady Justice is holding The sword of retribution.
Love your tour’s! Much appreciated since I won’t be taking any in person.✌🏼🇺🇸
Delighted we can bring London to you virtually
Sinead
These are so great!
Thanks again for watching! If you know of anyone else who might also enjoy these videos, please share us with them. We would really appreciate that! Thank you.
What a great tourist attraction Newgate Prison would have been but no chance to peek into the past now.
Ditto that.
The North Norfolk Railway was first opened and ran on the 16th June 1887. City of London's most mysterious and unsolved murder Jack the Ripper, 1888.
Newgate Prison's most famous prisoner was Pirate Captain William Kidd.
Worth tuning in just to listen to her lovely accent.
Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon your videos are always enjoyable. 👌😀 have you ever been to fyvie castle I heard it's great to visit greetings from Canada 😀😀
you can get to see one of the old newgate prison cells that still serve in the seller of the veilduced pub if you slip the barman a fews bob
It's the Viaduct Tavern and we plan on filming a video there soon. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours czcams.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more of Sinead where this came from.
Bought you a coffee honey thanks for an entertaining and informative tour , your brilliant ❤️
Thank you sincerely received it and enjoying it as we speak
Sinead
Thank you.
The last execution in the Tower of London was that of a German spy during WWII. The last executions in the UK were on 13/08/1964. Two prisoners were executed at the same time at two different prisons, though they were both found guilty of the same murder.
Thanks!
You are welcome, Gwen. And thank you for your kind support.
My paternal grandfather was eighteen years of age when the last public execution took place in England.
Did he talk to you about it?
@@ToursbyFootLondon Afraid not, he died in 1915.
Amazing to think it was just a short time ago
Thanks for watching and sharing
Sinead
Very inreresting
Glad you liked it, Nicola :)
Another absolutely brilliant video Sinead.
But I love how you pronounce FORMERLY as FORMERILY...
Too cute!

Morning Sinead.
Thanks so much for the update.
I can't believe how many videos you all have up from all over the world.
And I am such a virtual traveller.
A few of my favourite places is Japan and the USA.
I used to live there.
But oh my how London has changed so beautifully since I was last there.
Thank you.
I am so happy I have you all to watch.
🚶♀️❤🚶♀️
one more interesting place to learn about. I'd think such an important grand building would be on a wide street. I could have missed it completely. Another nod to Sherlock.
Thanks again for watching, and for subscribing, Shirley.
Can you recommend a place to stash my phone near the old bailey in the morning?
Or a museum with a cloakroom/locker
We use stasher to leave belongings!
Why are the bricks covered in dimples
L098294 Museum of London. The Debtors Door from Newgate Prison. Until 1868. criminals who had been condemned to death were led through the door to public execution.
Another great video. Just wanted to say people probably wouldnt have thrown vegetables at prisoners, the old veg would have been used to feed animals. They were more likely to throw manure if anything. But even that was a commodity to use on gardens. 😂. (I work in an old courthouse and an old Victorian prison 😉) Another amazing video. Thank you.
The ultimate compliment from someone who knows Victorian prisons so well
Thank you
❤❤❤💕
Good video but some of your information is wrong. You are correct when you said about the last public execution being carried out in 1868 , but you are totally wrong regards the last actual execution being carried out in 1965, and wrong in stating that it took place at the Tower of London. I can advise you that the last Executions that were carried out in the UK were of two criminals convicted of murder furtherence to theft on 13th August 1964, both were hanged at the same time but in seperate prisons. The last person executed at the Tower of London was a German Spy on 15 August 1941, and that was by firing squad.
They kept pigs in their ladies and gents ?😂😂😂😂
A wee tad too much repetition! I understand that it is difficult to do a commentary and walk. It's an Edwardian Building if it was built in 1902.
Thanks or the 1902 tip, Mairi :)
🧡🇨🇦🧡
Amelia Dyer didn't purchase babies, she was given money to find them new homes.
Thanks for the info, Danny!
You're welcome. Sorry to be such a pedant, but the last UK executions were in 1964, not 65, and it wasn't at the Tower of London.
Beautiful woman ❤❤❤
One piece
The Custodian Helmet is the headgear traditionally worn by male police constables and sergeants while on foot patrol in England and Wales. Officers of all ranks in most forces are also issued a flat, peaked cap that is worn on mobile patrol in a vehicle. Ranks above sergeant wear the peaked cap only. However, some Inspectors wear the Custodian Helmet, but with two silver bands around the base (to match the two pips worn as rank insignia) to denote their position.
Claimed by some sources to have been based on the spiked pickelhaube worn by the Prussian Army, it was first adopted by the London Metropolitan Police in 1863 to replace the "stovepipe" top hat worn since 1829. In 1863, the Metropolitan Police replaced the previous uniform of white trousers, swallow-tailed coat and top hat in favour of very dark blue trousers, a more modern button up tunic and the early type of helmet which had an upturned brim at the front and a raised spine at the back, running from the bottom to the top of the helmet, which became known as the "cockscomb".
The last execution at the Tower of London was supposed to be Josef Jakobs who was shot on 25th June 1942.
Certainly was your correct wasn’t public though , was kept indoors 👍
I will be doing Tower Hill too Coming up soon ✌️
@@leary210275 Yes politicians were still OK with the idea of killing people for their crimes but not making it a public spectacle. Can you imagine if they hadn't National Lottery, the accused is hung and it releases the ball for the draw.
@@leary210275 I made a video for my channel on Ruth Ellis. As well as my trilogy of They Weren't Jack! Ripper suspect videos. Need to do another one on Michael Ostrog.
@@detectivesquirrel2621 will check it out
Definitely looking at doing something on Ruth Ellis 👍
The last execution in Britain was August 1964, a double execution one at Walton prison Liverpool and the other at Strangeways prison Manchester.

Thank you for a great video just not long enough. Love from Sydney waiting for your next one.
Hi Lorna
i promise ill make the next one around 45 mins or so
Thanks for watching

Ha. We received 55 min.
Very beautiful walk my friend thx for all your amazing video's
Thanks for visiting.
Ohhhhhh London, I missed London and you ..... Beautiful Tour God bless you
It sure does get under your skin
Always miss it when I'm away
Thanks for watching and as ever your loyal following
Sinead
Amazing ! Thanks for sharing! Interesting video!
I used to work in the building opposite the courthouse and learnt quite a lot about the area. When the Central Criminal Court was opened by Edward VII in 1907, a lift was installed, still there but not sure if it is still used, as the King was getting a bit portly and would have struggled with the stairs. The stones used in the façade of the courthouse are from the demolished prison and the public house opposite Newgate prison called the 'Magpie and Stump', (a new version of which is still there), used to sell a 'hanging breakfast' which is what it sounded like, you could buy a breakfast and have a window view of a public execution. The execution room is still at the back of the courthouse entered by an ever decreasing series of doorways, and some cells still exist in the basement of the courthouse including the original 'Newgate knocker' where the phrase 'as black as Newgate knocker' comes from.
Thank you. That's quite an addition! We hope that you enjoyed the video. If you haven't done so already, hopefully, you can check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours czcams.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more of Sinead where this came from.
Between the Jack the ripper tour and all these prison and execution locations, I'm starting to think you guys have a little bit of a dark side. I got to say, I like it!
Ha. That's all Sinead.

The Viaduct Tavern has some very interesting cellars linked to the old Newgate prison!
We have to heck this out. We are working on a historic pub crawl and this might be a place to include.
@@ToursbyFootLondon You need to ask in advance I think. We managed to persuade a bar maid to show us them (She knew nothing about them though)
Hi Sinead wish you had been my history teacher you make it so interesting these online tours are such a brilliant idea ... good job 🤗
Glad you enjoyed it. Next video is going to be an interesting one.
Love your tours, Sinead. Have you done one for St Paul's Cathedral and the London churches; I couldn't find one on your site. I have heard a lot of nice stories about the churches especially after the London fire but have never seen any video dealing with them all. St Paul's in Mary Poppins was magnificent but was only seen in the song 'Feed the Birds'. The churches might be a nice walking tour but I don't know how scattered they are. Thank You. Take care, keep safe with this Delta variant.
Hi Ruth
Regretfully, we are not allowed to film inside Westminster Abbey and St Pauls Cathedral, I am working on a very special church as we speak so stay tuned Ruth
Thank you for your kind words and loyal following and your concern re the variant , trust me I'm being very careful
Sinead
This is an interesting idea, Ruth. We have included churches in some of our videos but not one that covers them all. We will be publishing a video for Westminster Cathedral relatively soon. Hopefully, we can have some others for you afterward.
To put this in a time frame perspective -in 1422 Henry V was king. Amazing.
Really is when you put it like that

Hiya Sinead, appreciated today’s visit so soon after your wee holiday,hope you had a fabulous time! Anywhoo the history, you wonder how cruel we were? Sad however understand a different time.

My dad worked for tarmac when the IRA blew a bomb outside he was one of the gang that worked on the Rd and filled the crater in xx
10 POUNDS! To use a window to watch an execution? My god those are EYE WATERING prices! 10 pound in those days is silly money! I would NEVER have thought that. That's why I LOVE YOU, Sinead. Also LOVE that name! Sinead O'Conner was AWESOME before she went a bit crazy, she's ok now thankfully, seems to have mental peace. But she got SLAUGHTERED for saying FUCK THE POPE and ripping his picture up on live TV! xD I fucking LOVED it! And if you did it now people would cheer! Fuck the pedo covering up Pope! >:(
Great to have you back and looking well good 👍xxx
Great vlog thanks Sinead. If you go into the viaduct tavern opposite, i believe that there is a cell and a tunnel also.
Wow John thank you I had heard a whisper of that and had totally forgotten
Have to check it out immediately
Thank you
Sinead
That might make for a good video, Sinead.
Your Ireland videos were outstanding, but it's nice to see you back in London. I'm about 40% Irish and never really thought about much till your Killarney videos so now I want to learn more about Ireland. Another great watch, Thanks for your time, effort and posting your work...........

Wow the streets and sidewalks are so clean over there. Unfortunately cities here in America definitely dont look like that.
Not all citys and towns in the UK are as clean as central london lol
Central London is a lot cleaner than the surrounding boroughs. My borough which is only about 30 mins away has very dirty streets especially in the morning.
Thank you Sinead for another superb tour! Feels like I’m right there with you walking around the wonderfully fascinating streets of London!👍🏻

One of our tour guides filmed recently in Edinburgh. We will be publishing those videos soon. We can also send Sinead up to Scotland if she is willing.
I was able to get into the Black Museum at Scotland Yard about 2 years ago. I had to be "chosen" from a bunch of applicants and waited a few months. It is beyond belief. Cameras not allowed. You have to have been employed as a law enforcement officer to get in. I wish you could swing that. I wish you could talk them into letting you do a modified, limited video. It's one on the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Well now I'm beyond jealous , i did know a chap who said he could try and get me in there . Seems highly unlikely however , id be allowed to film in there , but will certainly make some enquiries
Sinead
I went to the Black Museum exhibition at the Museum of London about five years ago. It had many of the most notorious Black Museum items, including hanging ropes, death head masks, Dr. Crippen's spade and the pyjama jacket, Harry Roberts' gun, Charles Peace's violin. It was incredible, but I'm not sure such an exhibition has been done before or since. I bought the souvenir book from the gift shop, being as cameras were not allowed, and the book has colour photos of the items I saw in person. An amazing day.
Another wonderful episode. Let me ask, do you use some kind of gyroscopic device while you're walking? There is no up and down jiggle. Thanks

Fantastic to balance my phone i pair it then with a Purple Panda mic
