Hello Everyone
I'm planning a visit to London in the summer with my family and, of course, the Tower is top of my list! However, I was wondering if it is still possible to visit the scaffold site on Tower Hill or if this has long been built over? (I know there is a Tower Hill tube station so can't imagine there's much “green” area left). I know I probably sound a bit ignorant, but I've never been to London before so don't really know the geography! I'd just really love to see the last place George Boleyn stood before his death.
many thanks,
Sarah

Looks like the answer is 'yes' and 'no'. There's a memorial built on the site. I was able to google-image search for the following easily:
http://ahoy.tk-jk.net/Images8/….. which apparently also serves double-duty as a memorial for WW1 and WW2 merchant sailors who are missing, presumed killed, and whose only grave is the sea.
"Don't knock at death's door.
Ring the bell and run. He hates that."
Hi Sarah,
Sorry about the delay in replying, I somehow missed your post. That's a great photo that Impish found and I've also found the following links which may be of use:-

Hope those help!
