Tower Bridge/Dead Mans Hole
Constructed 1894 | London Dead Man’s Hole actually refers to a mortuary that at one time was housed beneath the north tower of the bridge.
As you’ll probably be aware, the Thames is tidal, and for one reason or another, corpses that found their way in to the river; either suicide, by accident or dumped, those executed at the Tower of London, only a stone’s throw away, were also transferred to Dead Man’s Hole.
Once ‘fished’ out of the Thames, bodies could be laid out to await identification … if possible. The area is now closed off, but still perfectly visible as you take the steps up to the main part of the bridge.
