- Long before the days of reality television shows, our most popular form of entertainment was public executions. Nothing could beat a balmy day down at the gallows, and the best place to catch a convict meeting his maker was a nondescript part of Bayswater, in central London. There, more than 20 criminals could be hanged simultaneously from the infamous “Tyburn Tree”.
