What is recorded here
Sweeney Todd, the demon barber of Fleet Street, had his shop at number 186 Fleet Street. This alleyway is just several meters from his shop might had been a place where he killed his victims.
The alleyway behind the Sweeney Todd barber shop on Fleet Street is historically associated with the infamous 19th-century legend of Sweeney Todd, a supposed "demon barber" who allegedly murdered clients and disposed of their bodies. While the story is largely considered a myth, the location remains a point of interest due to its connection to one of London's most enduring and macabre folk tales.
