Jonathan Tyers

Opened in 1661, it was situated on the south bank of the River Thames on a site almost opposite the present-day Tate Britain. In 1728, Tyers signed a thirty-year lease of the land on which New Spring Gardens was sited.

But with one eye on his profits, he left some areas unlit, to allow sex workers to continue plying their trade.
