Anthony Hope is a young sailor who helped Sweeney Todd (otherwise known as Benjamin Barker who had previously been sentenced to a life of hard labour in Australia but managed to escape after 15 years of inprisonment) by allowing him to board on the ship he was sailing on that was heading to London. As they aproach the city, Anthony sings the song No Place Like London. Though it is not known the exact ending to Anthony's story, it is implied that he and Johanna run away and marry living together happily.
