About this experience
Feel shivers down your spine on a ghost walk through London’s most haunted and historic sights.
Follow the shadows into the city’s darkest corners on an evening walking tour through royal parks, eerie streets and infamous landmarks, led by an expert guide who brings the capital’s chilling past vividly to life.
Complete your journey to the Tower of London with your choice of transport. Cruise along the River Thames aboard a boat with an onboard bar, watching London’s illuminated skyline glide past in the night. Or continue beneath the city on a short London Underground journey — the same haunted route and dramatic Tower finale, simply a different way to travel.
Discover the site of London’s most haunted house, wander through parks rich with sinister history, uncover gruesome tales of executions and restless spirits, and end the night at the royal castle and former prison of the Tower of London.
