Also it's original name was the water gate, created to allow Edward I to come and go by Royal Barge, later the tradesman used it to bring supplies and later still it was used to bring prisoners to the tower, many of whom were charged with treason, thus traitors gate
There’s secret routes above ground known as “streets” that criss cross the city connecting secret areas known as “places”. Sometimes a secret liquid known as “rain” falls from the “air”. Man oh!
They’re hardly ‘secrets’ - you can buy tickets to visit half of them The tour of Down Street Tube Station is really cool - as is the ride on the Mail Train
Why do idiots make these videos without doing any research? Everything mentioned in this video is very well known they are so secret. The River Fleet is by no means a secret. The Fleet is a tributary of the River Thames, and flows six kilometers from its start as two streams in Hampstead Heath, past Camden Town, King's Cross, and Clerkenwell, to where it eventually empties into the Thames near Blackfriars Bridge.
As a South East Londoner, with an easy walk over any of all the bridges over the Thames, from Tower Bridge to Lambeth bridge, to reach Victoria in the west, Buck House, to St Paul's Cathedral and The Tower of London in the east. Two of my daughters were born in St Thomas's Hospital with views over the Thames and is opposite Big Ben. I can quite honestly say that these five London secrets are anything but Secrets!
I knew about all of these “secrets “ traitors gate was originally called trader’s gate because that is the way a lot of the supplies entered via the river
Traitors gate is one of the tower of londons main tourist attractions there is a whole museum for the mail tunnels and the river fleet goes right above a tube stations that thousands see everyday lol I think you need to look up the meaning of the word secret
Mate, please define "secret" for me. As a rail enthusiast, I knew about a few of these which were not railway related such as river fleet and the tunnel under parliament
None of these are secrets. Traitor's Gate has its name above it plus its mentioned on any Tower Of London tour. You can pay to ride on part of the Mail Rail network. Down Street was a public tube station from 1907 to 1937. Its a disused station, not secret. The Jubilee Line tube line was originally called the Fleet Line. I'm a Londoner. We know this stuff.
There's a Secret Palace in London where the Royals sometimes live, it is connected to a Secret Castle by a Secret Highway/Motorway (M4), outside London in a place called Windsor Ask me about more Secrets 😂
Traitors Gate was never a secret. It was very public. Traitors were chained to the wall. Many years ago the tidal Thames would flood Traitors gate and drown the Traitors. Bazelgette built the main London sewer past the Tower of London . It's now known as the Embankment and provides a viewing point of Traitors Gate.
None of that is secret, and certainly not Traitors' Gate which derives from Traders' Gate, the entrance that Traders used to visit the tower of London by boat. As for the others, they're all well know places.
There's this secret thing that everyone knows about and is a major historical fact that I recorded in millions of public sources. So many secrets. 😅😅😅😅😅
