Discover the darker side of the Square Mile on this special Halloween walking tour through the historic City of London.
Starting near St Paul’s Cathedral, we’ll explore some of the stranger, darker and more unsettling stories hidden among the City’s streets, buildings and forgotten corners.
Over nearly 2,000 years, the City has survived plague, fire, crime, punishment, war and more than a few unusual characters — leaving behind stories that are particularly suited to a walk around London at Halloween.
Expect tales of death, disaster, superstition and some of the more macabre moments from the City’s past, along with the unusual objects and easily missed details that help bring those stories to life.
This is a historical walking tour rather than a ghost hunt — although that doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be a ghost story or two along the way.
The tour is led by Alex, a qualified City of London Green Badge Guide.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We’ll meet at the National Firefighters Memorial in Carter Lane Gardens, directly south of St Paul’s Cathedral. Look for the bronze statues of three firefighters. Look out for the man with the company's name sign.
The tour will end next to Tower Bridge, on St Katharines Way. Tower Hill Tube station is a short walk away, with connections to the rest of the City
