Overview

London is an ancient city with over 2,000 years of wars, invasions, plagues, fires, squalor, murders and executions.  This spooky tour takes us around the maze of Roman, Viking and Medieval Streets, Georgian passageways and old Victorian slums.

Taking place almost entirely within the original old City of London, this 2-3 hour walking tour will show you parts of London with dark history and verified haunting spots of ghosts from the Middle Ages right up into the 21st Century.

Normally we don't even see any other tourists on our route which as far as possible with ghosts, put authenticity over the implausible tales on other ghost walks.

Reviews

Old London Town tour - highly recommended
Katie M, 07-08-2021
Absolutely fantastic tour with Stephen last week learning plenty of interesting facts along the way. He took us to lots of different places to show us some amazing buildings and tell us the slightly gruesome tales of the people that had met their fate there. From pubs in hidden alleyways to churches and secret gardens. Stephen’s knowledge knows no boundaries whatsoever - it was a brilliant experience that I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about London, rather than just the standard tourist stuff!!! Stephen us a great guy that will ensure you have an excellent time. Thanks for the great your Stephen!
