Execution Dock Wapping London Late Checkout Three Tides ~ Comfort Colors Tee

Riverside Accommodation ~ Guests Stayed Three Tides

London hanged its pirates at Execution Dock in Wapping, on the Thames foreshore between the high and low water marks. The body was left there until three tides had washed over it. It was less a punishment than a public notice, posted where every sailor coming upriver had to read it.

• For the darkest sense of humor at the table: Buy it for the true crime podcast friend, the Londoner who knows exactly where Wapping is, and the history fan whose jokes make the dinner party go quiet.
• Checkout policy, strict: No early departures, no late fees, and the river handled the housekeeping.
• Washed up in: Part of Pirate History & Legends, where the law had a waterfront view.
