Bugsby's who what where when how why??

"Bugsby's Marshes

This tidal mudflat, where bodies of executed pirates were hung in
cages, may have been named after a New World Buccaneer. Like much of
the Thames’ riverbank, it was a mosquito-ridden hellhole before being
drained by Dutch engineers in 1625. Later the site chosen for the
Millennium Dome, it is now home to the O2 Arena."
