Head Over This Way



Everyone has probably heard of the executions in the Tower of London, but it was only royalty who earned the privilege of a private beheading inside the Tower. Anything less and you had to head over here, to an anonymous patch of ground by Tower Hill station. Here is where the public were entertained by the downfall of the high and mighty. The bronze plaques around the edge mark the names of glitterati who lost their heads here over the 14th to 18th centuries.
