Tudor terror at Smithfield market, this place saw hundreds of public executions for Henry the eighth and bloody Mary Tudor. Spot the error, I fixed it in the captions but let's see who notices it. #Tudor #henryviii #execution #braveheart | City Tours - The London Spy

Did you know you can go on an early morning tour of London oldest meat market? 🥩 Smithfield market has been here in some form for at least 800 years so is a real slice of living history. The market is going to be shutting on this site in a few years time and moving to near City Airport. So you don’t have that long left to have this unique experience. The tours are run by City guides. There’s a link in my bio for my full blog post including links to book etc. #london #londonhistory #smithfield #
