Det var i 1618, at hovedet af opdagelsesrejsende og kortlægger sir Walter Raleigh blev hugget af, efter et andet og mislykket forsøg på at nå til El Dorado. Dette skete på Palace of Whitehall, som på det tidspunkt var den primære bolig for de engelske monarker i London.
Den primære årsag var, at Raleigh angreb områder, der blev gjort krav på af spanierne. Den spanske ambassadør lobbyede for at få Raleigh henrettet.
Hans krop skulle begraves i den lokale kirke i Beddington, Surrey, hjemmet til Lady Raleigh, men blev endelig lagt til hvile i St. Margaret's, Westminster, hvor hans grav stadig kan besøges i dag.
