Скачать или смотреть I Took the Missus to the Bloodiest Field in London | The Dark History of Smithfield

I took the Missus to Smithfield, London’s bloodiest field — a place steeped in centuries of dark history. Once known as “Smooth Field,” this spot has witnessed executions, revolts, and burnings at the stake. From Sir William Wallace’s brutal death to the Peasants’ Revolt and the fires of Bloody Mary’s reign, Smithfield has seen it all.

Today it’s home to the famous Smithfield Market, but beneath the cobblestones lies a history soaked in blood and rebellion. Join us as we explore how this quiet corner of London became the stage for some of the city’s most dramatic and gruesome moments.
