When night falls in the city and mist settles in the streets, London becomes a very different place. Londoners of old rise from their slumber and the spirits of the past return to haunt the living, but it’s not just the dead that you need to fear. For every patriotic hero, there must be a villain and London has certainly had its fair share of those.

Join us on our Ghost Tour of London as we explore the darker side of this city in the dead of night, encountering serial killers, gangsters, and monsters, both malevolent and murderous, who have risen from the shadows to find infamy on these streets.

Led by our expert guides, the Free Ghost tour will take you on a journey round hidden corners and eerie streets, where tales of ghoulish apparitions, dark stories, and unsolved murders await you. Brace yourself for a mix of mystery, history and a touch of the supernatural.

From unsolved murders to haunting crimes, your free tour guide will paint a picture of the past, bringing these shocking stories to life. But fear not, as we aim to provide a fun and thrilling experience throughout the tour. Your ghastly guide will balance the creepy atmosphere with humour and engaging storytelling.

Our Free Ghost Tour begins in the shadows of Cleopatra’s Needle, believed to be one of the most haunted sites in London, where ghosts and apparitions are regularly spotted diving into the Thames. Your Ghost Tour guide will regale you with tales of Samuel Gilbert Scott’s bizarre death on Waterloo Bridge, and the reign of terror of a Victorian serial killer, who’s identity remains a mystery today, The Thames Torso Murderer.

At Banqueting House, you will learn of the execution of King Charles I, whose death sent shockwaves through Europe and spawned thousands of ghost stories that still terrify people 350 years later. After a sinister stroll through St James Park, where a woman in red searches for the soldier who killed her, the Ghost tour will end in Green Park, home to the ‘Lady in Grey’, a decapitated soldier searching for his head and a wronged fiddler, to name just a few.

Be you sceptic or believer, all are welcome on our Free Ghost Tour
… if you dare. Book your spot now and prepare for a brilliant night of spine-chilling tales and unforgettable memories!
