Lonely Planet review for Execution Dock

Wapping was traditionally home to sailors and dock workers. One of the most important historic sites is Execution Dock near the marine police station at 94 Wapping High St E1. This is where convicted pirates were hanged and their bodies chained to a post at low tide, to be left until three tides had washed over their heads.
