TQ3380 : Dead Man's Hole
near to Bermondsey, Southwark, Great Britain

Dead Man's Hole
Located under the northern side of Tower Bridge, this location was used to collect corpses that were found in the River Thames and store them. Bart's Hospital, on the north side of the river, paid 6d more for the bodies for medical research than Guy's Hospital on the south. This price difference was exploited by ferrymen who for a price would transport corpses to this location.
TQ3380 : City Hall, London can be seen on the other side of the river.
