Overview

See the sinister side of London on a spine-tingling Ghost Tour! Join fellow ghost hunters and a local guide to walk the city’s most haunted route and discover the darker history of iconic landmarks you won’t hear on your average tour. Your guide will tell you stories of cursed prisoners, phantom monks, and mysterious figures lurking in the shadows. This is no ordinary tour. Prepare to hear the haunting secrets of Charterhouse Square, catch eerie whispers at Smithfield Market, and step into the haunted halls of St. Bartholomew’s. From the legend of the demon barber on Fleet Street to the true crime tale of Blackfriars Bridge, every stop will build suspense and send chills down your spine.

We’ve saved the best for last and will finish the tour at Clink Prison, the city’s most haunted location, where condemned souls still wander, seeking revenge. You’ll never see London the same way again. Are you brave enough? Reserve your spot now... if you dare!
