Histories that Haunt: Self-Guided London Tour with Where Now
Overview
London’s streets are teeming with life, but you’ll find a graveyard of gruesome and ghoulish stories beneath the surface. On this walking tour, you’ll see more than just the city’s most haunted house on Berkeley Square.
Hear from Where Now Tours, who, with a combination of historical facts, dramatic re-enactments, and tantalising trivia to impress your friends, will guide you around the dark corners of St James’s neighbourhood, tell you the city’s darker stories and share its royal and historical roots too.
On the way, you'll hear about the ghosts that are said to haunt Westminster Palace and find out about the paranormal patrons that might be lurking beneath St James’s Park Lake. You'll also discover the dark secrets inside Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace.
By the end of this self-paced tour, you’ll have seen some of the highlights of the UK capital and learned about the horrors that lurk in its shadows.
This London self-guided walking tour awaits... if you dare.
