No. The last execution was in 1964 and abolished in 1969 in England and 1973 in Northern Ireland. Hanging was the usual method. Albert Pierrepoint was the most famous hangman.

The UK does not have the death penalty. We realise that if a mistake occurs you can't resurrect the individual whereas you can free an innocent person.
