Climb aboard a Halloween-themed open-top bus beside Trafalgar Square and discover London’s darker side through theatrical live commentary, spooky stories, humour and audience interaction.
Travel past Whitehall, Parliament Square, the Embankment, Fleet Street, St Paul’s Cathedral, Liverpool Street and Tower Hill, with a brief journey into the shadows of the East End. Hear tales of ghostly figures, mysterious legends, haunted buildings and strange events from London folklore.
This is an entertaining Halloween experience rather than a traditional history lecture. Atmospheric lighting, themed characters, sound cues and live storytelling bring the journey to life while you enjoy panoramic views from the open-top deck.
Choose the 16:00 Family Frights departure for playful, child-friendly mysteries with no graphic content, or the 19:00 Fright Night departure for a darker, more suspenseful show. Both follow the same sightseeing route and include a brief East End diversion.
