This former plague pit is one of the most eerie places in the city and is said to be haunted by vengeful spirits, including Black Death victims, ghostly monks, and even a headless Duke! Once you learn about its ghastly history, you won’t be surprised by the supernatural sightings.
10 minThis isn’t just a meat market; it’s a site of gruesome executions, ghostly apparitions, and eerie legends. From the tortured spirit of William Wallace to the phantom cries of Protestant martyrs, this historic square is steeped in chilling tales of death, and if you listen closely, you might just hear a scream–or two.
10 min · Admission not includedSt. Bartholomew’s Hospital was once a medieval site for treating plague victims. You'll learn about the horrors of the medical malpractices that once took place here. Today, it's said to be haunted by ghostly doctors, patients, and a spectral child, but beware, if you see him, it could mean that death is just around the corner.
10 minThe city’s Central Criminal Court stands on the site of Newgate Prison and apparitions such as the vengeful “Black Dog” remind us of the injustices committed inside the prison walls.
10 minThis centuries-old pub above the holding cells of Newgate Prison is said to be the most haunted in London. Hear about the lingering souls of patrons who never quite finished their last drink. Here the beer is cold, but the ghosts are colder.
5 minSt. Bride's Church hides a dark history beneath its beauty. Containing crypts that housed thousands of skeletal remains from the Roman era to the 19th century, they’ve since been sealed due to numerous disturbing discoveries.
10 minHome to a chilling story that inspired a musical we know and love, we'll wander on the very same street as the murderous barber whose hunger for human flesh made him a cut above the rest.
10 minSt. Paul's Cathedral is known not only for its grandeur but also for ghostly tales, including the Whistling Clergyman who haunts the All Souls' Chapel. This building has survived blitzes, and bombings so it's no wonder it's so haunted. Security staff have reported other unsettling experiences, such as hearing children's cries, organ music, and doors mysteriously opening in the night.
10 minVisitors have reported ghostly experiences and phantom splashes, believing them to be the spirits of those who perished in the River Thames below.
5 minThis imposing bridge has a sinister past as the site of one of London’s more recent murder mysteries. True crime junkies will get their fix with the gruesome details of this Freemason conspiracy and cover-up.
10 minWhen you think of Shakespeare, you don’t think “haunted,” but there have been many mysterious sightings at the Globe Theatre with reports of a mysterious figure in Elizabethan clothing watching rehearsals, phantom footsteps, and ghostly applause. Hear about these strange occurrences and how they’re tied to the Globe’s tragic history. It's here where one actor gave a final fiery performance and met a brutal end.
10 minThe Clink Prison, known for its brutal history of torture and death, is now a museum, but many believe the spirits of its tormented past still linger. Visitors often hear agonising screams, rattling chains, and report eerie encounters with a malevolent presence, believed to be the ghost of the cruel jailer, “The Gaoler.”
5 minJust when you thought it couldn't get worse we'll finish the tour at 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.
5 minLondon is a city with over 2000 years of history, but when night falls, the streets reveal a darker side, full of horrible histories and paranormal activity you won't find on your average walking tour.
You and a group of travellers will follow a local guide into the shadows to discover the haunted spots. Your guide will tell you dark history and chilling tales of ghostly monks, doomed prisoners, and mysterious apparitions that still haunt London’s landmarks. You'll uncover the secrets of Charterhouse Square, hear eerie whispers at Smithfield Market, and tread carefully through the haunted halls of St. Bartholomew’s. From the notorious Fleet to the murder on Blackfriars Bridge, every stop adds a new layer of spine-tingling suspense. We’ll finish at the infamous Clink Prison, where the spirits of the condemned still cling to the walls.
Will we see a ghost? Maybe. But one thing’s for sure: you’ll never see London the same way again. Book your spot now, if you dare.
