Overview

  • Led by our comedian-slash-historian tour guides, your guided walking experience includes all of London’s gory gossip. We’ll bring each storey to life as we stroll through the West End, accompanied by pictures, a setting sun and an eerie atmosphere.

    While each tale will terrify, we inject plenty of comedy into the tour to bring a little light to the darker side of London. See Covent Garden, Cleopatra’s Needle, London’s historic theatres, walk along the Thames (and more) on this twisted tour.

    From the blitz to body snatchers, from hauntings to hidden horrors, you’ll leave us with a wealth of knowledge, a tonne of memories and a heavy dose of the heebie-jeebies.

Activity itinerary

Rising Sun

  • 10m
Gang of resurrections called "The London Burkers" (named after Burke and Hare) used to drink there. Much like Burke and Hare, when it became harder to procure dead bodies to sell they started to create the bodies themselves

Soho

  • 10m
The blackout ripper killed 4 women and attacked two more, mostly around the Charing Cross road during the blitz.

Covent Garden

  • 10m
Ghostly occurrences. An actors rivalry that leads to murder and more oddities around the covent garden tube station

Lyceum Theatre

  • 10m
The artistic director, Henry Irving was a strange man that bad luck seemed to follow. His life was filled with disappearances, murder and the creation of one of literatures greatest gothic monsters

Cleopatra's Needle

  • 10m
The oldest artefact in London which some people believe is cursed due to loss of life on a journey that would take over 60 years

Waterloo Bridge

  • 10m
The thames many years ago would freeze over, leading to the 'Frost Fayres'. What should have been frivolity and fun, would often lead to something more macabre

Waterloo Mainline Station

  • 10m
Underneath the bustling station lies a track that would take bodies to their final destination. This is the home of the Necropolis station
