About this experience

Step into the darker, more eerie side of London on a ghost tour steeped in dark history, where you'll join a group of ghost hunters and a local guide who will tell spine-chilling tales. This isn't your average walking tour; prepare to uncover the haunting secrets of Charterhouse Square, hear faint whispers at Smithfield Market, and venture through the ghostly halls of St. Bartholomew's. From the demon barber on Fleet Street to the true crime tale at Blackfriars Bridge, each stop will add another bit of suspense to send a shiver down your spine. For the grand finale, we'll visit the most haunted place of all: Clink Prison, where the restless spirits of the condemned are said to still roam.

One thing's for sure: after this tour, you'll never look at London the same way again. Are you ready for the thrill of a lifetime? Book your spot now... if you dare!

Detailed itinerary

1

An ancient plague pit with a ghastly past. Hear stories of vengeful spirits, including Black Death victims, ghostly monks, and even a headless Duke! Once you learn about its grim history, the eerie apparitions will seem all too real.

2
Stop 2

More than a meat market, this former execution site is home to sinister apparitions and unsettling tales. From the restless spirit of William Wallace to the mournful cries of Protestant martyrs, this historic square is full of chilling stories of death. And if you listen closely, you might just hear a scream...or two.

3

Hear about the morbid malpractices that took place at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital. Once a medieval sanctuary for plague victims, it is now said to be haunted by ghosts of doctors, patients, and even a spooky spectral child. But beware, spotting him could be an omen that death is close.

4
Stop 4

The Central Criminal Court of London stands where Newgate Prison once stood, yet spirits like the vengeful "Black Dog" continue to haunt the site, serving as chilling reminders of the injustices that took place within those prison walls.

5

Welcome to London's most haunted pub, built above the holding cells of former Newgate Prison. Here, the beer is cold, but the ghosts are colder. You'll hear stories of the lingering souls of patrons who never quite finished their last drink.

6
Stop 6

Beneath the graceful exterior of St. Bride's Church lies a dark history. Learn why its crypts, once home to thousands of skeletal remains from the Roman era to the 19th century, were sealed after a series of disturbing discoveries.

7
Stop 7

This unsuspecting street is home to a sinister tale turned musical. Hear about the murderous demon barber who proved that he was a cut above the rest.

8
Stop 8

St. Paul's Cathedral is renowned for its breathtaking beauty, but it also holds a dark side as a survivor of blitzes and bombings. Hear the legend of the Whistling Clergyman who haunts All Souls' Chapel. If you listen carefully, you may also hear the cries of children, the faint echo of organ music, and the mysterious creaking of doors opening on their own in the dead of night.

9
Stop 9

Often called "The Wobbly Bridge" due to its unsettling sway, it’s believed to be cursed. Visitors have reported ghostly encounters and phantom splashes, thought to be the restless spirits of those who perished in the River Thames below.

10
Stop 10

This bridge is a fabric of the average Londoner's morning commute, but it's got something to hide. This former crime scene was the site of one of the most infamous murders in the city's recent history.

11
Stop 11

The Globe Theatre is a stage for more than just performances; it's also a place of eerie hauntings. Visitors have reported sightings of apparitions in Elizabethan attire watching rehearsals and hearing the sound of phantom applause. Delve into the unsettling tales tied to the Globe’s tragic past, including the story of an actor whose career went up in flames.

12
Stop 12

Once infamous for its brutal history of torture and death, The Clink Prison is now a museum, yet many believe the tortured souls of its past still haunt the site. Visitors often hear agonising screams, the sound of clinking chains, and encounter a sinister presence, believed to be the ghost of the cruel jailer known as "The Gaoler."

13

We'll finish with the worst, standing in front of the remnants of Winchester Palace, where hidden treasure comes at a cost and a curse. It's here where you'll discover the demonic past of this opulent palace and the truth about the most controversial bishop in London.
