What to expect
Charterhouse Square
A former plague pit with a horrifying past, this site is home to tales of vengeful spirits—Black Death victims, ghostly monks, and even a headless Duke. After hearing its grim history, the unsettling apparitions may feel all too real.
Smithfield Market
Far more than just a meat market, this former execution ground is home to sinister spirits and unsettling legends. From the restless ghost of William Wallace to the haunting cries of Protestant martyrs, this historic square is rich with chilling tales of death. Listen carefully, and you might hear a scream—or two.
Saint Bartholomew's Hospital Museum
St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, once a medieval refuge for plague victims, is now rumored to be haunted by the spirits of doctors, patients, and a ghostly child. But be warned seeing this spirit might mean that death–is closer than you think.
St John's Gate
In 1762, Cock Lane gained notoriety for the "Scratching Fanny" hoax, yet the eerie scratches and whispers that continue to unsettle visitors today leave us questioning-was it really just a hoax after all?
Old Bailey
The Central Criminal Court of London now occupies the former site of Newgate Prison, but its prison past still lingers. Vengeful spirits like the infamous "Black Dog" serve as reminders of the injustices that once unfolded behind its walls.
Hidden beneath the elegant facade of St. Bride's Church is a shadowy past. Discover why its crypts, once filled with thousands of skeletal remains dating from the Roman era to the 19th century, were sealed following a series of unsettling discoveries.
St. Paul's Cathedral is famed for its stunning beauty, but it harbors a darker side. Discover the haunting tale of the Whistling Clergyman, said to haunt All Souls' Chapel. Listen closely, and you might also hear the distant cries of children, the faint echoes of organ music, or the unsettling creak of doors mysteriously opening in the dead of night.
This "The Wobbly Bridge" is said to be cursed with visitors reporting eerie encounters and phantom splashes, believed to be the spirits of those who tragically met their end in the River Thames below.
This famous theatre is one of the most haunted places in London. If you look closely you might see phantoms dressed in Elizabethan clothing or hear the sound of ghostly applause and once you hear about the theater’s tragic history you won’t be surprised.
The Anchor Tavern & Hub
A pub with a haunted history, where the ghost of a smuggler and a mysterious woman in black are said to haunt, quietly observing unsuspecting patrons.
Notorious for its brutal history of torture and execution, The Clink Prison is now a museum, but many still believe the tormented spirits of its past linger on. Visitors frequently hear agonizing screams, the clinking of chains, and feel a dark presence—thought to be the ghost of the merciless jailer,"The Gaoler."
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
