Take a journey through the dark side of London on this ghostly nighttime walking tour, and listen as your guide tells you stories of the city’s haunted past of murder, execution and mystery.

After meeting your group, make your way to the Tower of London. As you approach its towering, ominous grey stone walls, you’ll learn about the many ghosts of people who were executed and murdered there, including wives of Henry VIII. You may even see Queen Anne Boleyn, the Tower’s most sighted ghost who was beheaded there in 1536 and can still be seen wandering the corridors at night -- without a head, of course.

Scared? Don't worry - your guide will protect you from the spooky ghosts while providing lots of interesting historical insight. Continue to Eaton Place in Belgravia and learn the legend of the Unknown Warrior, an unidentified soldier buried in Westminster Abbey in 1920. When night falls and the church goes quiet, he can still be seen standing beside his grave. Then hear the story of the Admiral’s Doppelganger, the ghost of Admiral Sir George Tryon, who made a fatal mistake in 1893 when he gave orders that caused his ship to sink. His wife was holding a dinner party in London at the time, and her guests reported sightings of her husband.

Then head to the riverfront for a boat ride along the Thames where you will hear myths about the Lady in Black (who haunts All Hallows church), the ghosts of Downing Street and, of course, the mysterious Jack the Ripper, one of London’s most legendary murderers.

You will use public transportation on this tour, so be prepared with a charged Oyster card or a valid ticket. But don’t worry, you can also purchase one at the start of the tour.
