Overview

Your Guide, Declan, is an expert on London and British serial killers, AND world serial killers. Yes, Jack the Ripper, but NOT just Jack the Ripper - Declan knows about the behaviour and psychology of serial killers worldwide.

The Tour has, at this moment, 472 5-star reviews on Viator/TripAdvisor and it is rated ‘Excellent’ by Viator. It's also a 'Traveller's Choice' on TripAdvisor. This is an immersive and memorable experience.

The Tour is a 12+ certificate meaning ONLY people aged 12 and over can attend. That is because there are many chilling & disturbing stories. You will leave the Tour better informed - but also more wary...

With the 'Tour plus Book' option, you receive a personally signed copy of Declan McHugh's best-selling 'Bloody London' book, nearly 200 pages of dark deeds in London's grim past.

The Book is 90% different from the Tour - essentially, Book and Tour are two totally different products.  The Book has sold 8,500 copies so far, with excellent Amazon reviews.

What To Expect

Church of St. Bartholomew the Great
The sad story of an uncaught serial killer who first murdered a 6 year-old girl, then 7 years later murdered a 7-year-old girl inside Barbican Station! Your Guide, Declan, discusses the similarities between the cases and profiles the Killer.

Holy Sepulchre London
The sinister economics of dead people. Grave-robbing and serial killing.
Clue: The Doctors at St Bartholomew’s Hospital were happy to deal with real low-lifes.

5 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Old Bailey
The most famous court in the world: The Central Criminal Court. Otherwise known as The Old Bailey.

Two serial killers who had their trials here.

Firstly, one who appeared here TWICE and who sent an innocent man to his death before later confessing his multiple murders of women.

Then the grim background to another who murdered 13 women and caused terror for over FIVE years.

Later in the Tour I talk about two other serial killers whose trials were here. One who murdered 15 boys and men; and the other serial killer who is perhaps the most dangerous woman in the world.

A ‘lighter’ moment on the Tour…vote on the scariest horror movies of all time.

Declan reveals the 'Top Ten' votes from 22 years of 'The Blood and Tears Walk', including a film in the 'Top Ten' that most of you simply do not know.

Also Declan's personal recommendation for a horror film, a film even fewer of you have seen...

St. Dunstan In The West
The narrow dingy alley we enter here may just be the creepiest place you have been to in your entire life.

We conduct a psychic experiment here - it's a murder scene - and you hear about a pair of devious serial killers who operated around here.

If you are psychic, you will NOT like this place. I have had tough men be shaken by the atmosphere in here.

10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

Princess Louise
We end at the wonderful Princess Louise pub, famous for its wonderful Victorian decor. However, after the final serial killer story of the Tour, you may hesitate to enter this pub!

A truly horrible piece of behaviour by a serial killer that you won't read in any of the books about him, but was discovered by the Head of Forensics investigating his Murders, who later came on my Tour.

After this final story, Declan will, if you bought the ‘Tour and Book’ option’ from TripAdvisor, sign your copies of his best-selling book 'Bloody London', and add a personal message.

You can also buy the book from Declan, for just £7, if you didn't buy that option.

The shops sell 'Bloody London' for the same £7 price, but Declan's signature on the book - only obtainable if you have done this Tour - makes it collectable...
