London is a bustling city with over 2000 years of history but when night falls the streets reveal a darker side of the city—its ghosts!
You and a group of ghost-busting travellers will follow a local guide into the shadows to discover the most haunted spots in the city. Your guide will tell you chilling tales of ghostly monks, doomed prisoners, and mysterious apparitions that still haunt London’s landmarks. You'll uncover the secrets of Charterhouse Square, hear eerie whispers at Smithfield Market, and tread carefully through the haunted halls of St. Bartholomew’s. From the notorious Cock Lane to the spectral Millennium Bridge, every stop adds a new layer of spine-tingling suspense. We’ll finish at the infamous Clink Prison, where the spirits of the condemned still cling to the walls. Stick close and don’t stray... because you’re never truly alone.
Will we see a ghost? Maybe. But one thing’s for sure: you’ll never see London the same way again. Book your spot now, if you dare.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Our journey begins at Charterhouse Square, where ghostly monks and victims of the Great Plague still linger. The mass burial pits beneath our feet make this one of London’s most haunted spots.
With a history of executions, plague victims, and heads on spikes, this bridge is one of the most haunted places in the city. Some say the spirits of the drowned still cry out from the water below.
