this sign, marking a shortcut for double-decker buses around marble arch from park lane, is all that is left of tyburn, which was for centuries the main location for the execution of london criminals. they were hanged upon the tyburn tree. piglet has suspended himself, temporarily, so we may memorialise the spot.
