Central Criminal Court (Old Bailey)
I bring people here specifically to stand on the pavement outside and explain that the last public hanging drew a crowd of 30,000.
England's most famous criminal court, built on the site of Newgate Prison, which itself sat on a Roman gateway. Public executions happened here until 1868.
