Not all of London’s history rests in peace, some of it still lurks in the shadows.

When night falls, the darker side of London comes out to play, and so does paranormal activity. Step into the shadows with a group of fellow explorers who have a penchant for morbid curiosities.

On our Ghost Tour of London, you’ll follow a ghost-obsessed guide into the haunted heart of the city, where most travellers dare not pass. Here, you’ll wind through eerie alleys and forgotten courtyards, and uncover horrible histories you won’t hear on your average walking tour.

Feel a chill in Charterhouse Square, listen for whispers echoing at Smithfield Market, and tread carefully past the ancient stones of St. Bartholomew’s. From the macabre mysteries of Fleet Street to the murder mystery lingering on Blackfriars Bridge, each stop pulls you deeper into London’s ghostly underworld.

Just when you thought the terrors were over, we’ve saved the best for last, if you manage to survive until the end, of course. We’ll finish the tour at the infamous Clink Prison, where history’s most unfortunate souls have left more than just their chains behind. Stay close, and maybe… don’t look over your shoulder.

Will you see a ghost? No promises. But after this night, London will never feel the same, and it just might haunt you (in the best possible way). Book now, if you dare.

Ghost Tour highlights

1 Fast-Spreading Fear, Like the Black Death Itself

Beneath the cobblestones of Charterhouse Square lies a mass grave of plague victims, with its dark legacy earning it the title of one of the most haunted places in London. You’ll hear spine-tingling stories from the fall of Black Death victims to tales of royal fury and revenge. Once you uncover its history, you’ll find out why you can’t trust a flicker in the corner of your eye.

2 Smithfield’s Bloody Secrets: Fire, Faith, and Ghosts

Nowadays a meat market, Smithfield was once a brutal theatre of public execution. We guess you can say this place has always been home to butchers. Beneath your feet lie the restless remains of martyrs and traitors alike. Some say the tortured ghost of William Wallace still walks here, and the anguished cries of burned Protestants echo after dark. Listen closely, you may hear more than just the wind.

3 Haunted Healing at St. Bartholomew’s

By day, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital saves lives. By night, it whispers secrets of those lives it couldn’t and the morbidities of the medical malpractices that took place here. Once a haven for plague victims, this ancient building harbours stories of ghostly physicians, suffering patients, and one especially chilling presence: a spectral child whose appearance is said to foretell death. See him... and you may not see tomorrow.

4 The Black Dog of Newgate: Guilt Has Teeth

Where Newgate Prison once stood, the Old Bailey now looms, but some say the horrors of the past never left. A spectral Black Dog, believed to be the vengeful spirit of a wrongly executed man, is said to stalk the area. Its glowing eyes and growl serve as a chilling reminder that justice wasn't always served.

5 Cold Pints and Colder Guests

This centuries-old London pub is said to be the most haunted in pub in London, serving spirits of both kinds. From a murdered smuggler to a woman in black and the occasional ghostly regular who never left, this is a place where the beer stays cold, and the hauntings colder.

6 Crypt Secrets at St. Bride’s

Beneath the genteel façade of St. Bride’s Church lies a crypt filled with secrets and skeletons. So many disturbing discoveries were unearthed here that the crypts were sealed off, possibly to ensure whatever lies within... stays within

7 A Blood-Hungry Barber Is On The Loose

The seemingly unsuspecting Fleet Street was once home to darkness. It was here that a particular barbershop served killer cuts above the rest, and the barber became hungry for human flesh. Was he a real man, or was this just a legend? Who knows. But one thing's for sure: this street served as inspiration for an iconic musical we know and love.

8 The Whistling Clergyman Still Roams

St. Paul’s Cathedral may dazzle you with its dome by day, but as night falls, its echoing halls tell another tale. This place has survived blitzes and bombings, and in All Souls’ Chapel, the eerie sound of whistling is said to belong to a long- dead clergyman. Staff report phantom organ music, unexplained crying, and doors creaking open with no one there. Do you dare pass where the sacred and spectral meet?

9 The Bridge That Sways With the Dead

Nicknamed the “Wobbly Bridge,” the Millennium Bridge has more than just a structural quirk; it has a supernatural one. Misty silhouettes, phantom footsteps, and icy splashes from unseen forces plague nighttime walkers. Some say it’s the souls of the drowned, forever trying to reach the other side.

10 Where Friars & Liars Meet Murder

Blackfriars Bridge might not seem like a crime scene, but its sinister past tells a different story. This one's for the true crime lovers who will get their fix on the gory details of one of London's more recent murder mysteries, a Freemason conspiracy, and a cover-up.

11 To Haunt or Not to Haunt: The Globe’s Ghostly Encore

The Globe Theatre holds more than just the Bard’s legacy. Cast and crew have reported a mysterious figure in Elizabethan garb silently watching rehearsals, invisible footsteps, and ghostly applause. Uncover the tragedy of one actor's final fiery performance and how he met his brutal end. One thing's clear: it seems that some spirits still demand their curtain call.

12 The Clink Still Clutches Its Victims

Once a prison infamous for cruelty, The Clink is now a museum of misery and the pain still lingers. Visitors report screams in empty corridors, dragging chains, and a sinister energy attributed to “The Gaoler,” a brutal jailer whose spirit seems unwilling to let go.

13 Final Stop: The Curse of Winchester Castle

Just when you think it’s over, we take you to the ruins of Winchester Castle, to discover the truth about London's most controversial Bishop. Here, the promise of hidden treasure is matched only by the threat of an ancient curse. Let’s just say, this is no fairy tale ending.
