The Clink Prison Museum

Itinerary
1
Charterhouse Square
This old plague pit is among the city's most haunted locations, with reports of vengeful spirits, including victims of the Black Death, ghostly monks, and even a headless Duke! Once you uncover its gruesome past, the eerie sightings will make perfect sense.
10 minutes
2
Smithfield Market
This place is far more than a meat market, it’s a setting of grisly executions, ghostly sightings, and unsettling legends. From the tormented ghost of William Wallace to the haunting cries of Protestant martyrs, this historic square is steeped in chilling stories of death. And if you listen carefully, you might even hear a scream...or two.
10 minutes
3
St. Bartholomew's Church
St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, once a medieval refuge for plague victims, was also a place where morbid medical malpractices occurred, so ghost sightings are no surprise. It's rumoured to be haunted by ghostly doctors, patients, and even the eerie figure of a spectral child. But be warned, if you catch a glimpse of him, it may be a sign that death is near.
10 minutes
4
Old Bailey
The Central Criminal Court of London now occupies the site of the former Newgate Prison, but apparitions like the vengeful "Black Dog" still serve as chilling reminders of the injustices once carried out within those prison walls.
10 minutes
5
The Viaduct Tavern
This pub is built above the holding cells of former Newgate Prison and is rumoured to be the most haunted in London. Listen to stories of the lingering souls of patrons who never quite finished their last drink. Here, the beer is cold, but the ghosts are colder.
5 minutes
6
St Bride's Church
Beneath the elegant facade of St. Bride's Church lies a shadowy past. Its crypts, once filled with thousands of skeletal remains spanning from Roman times to the 19th century, have been sealed off after a series of unsettling discoveries.
10 minutes
7
Fleet Street
This seemingly unsuspecting street is home to a chilling story of a barber out for blood that became a musical we all know and love.
10 minutes
8
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is famous for its majestic beauty, but it’s survived blitzes and bombings, making it home to eerie legends like the haunting of the Whistling Clergyman in All Souls' Chapel. Listen closely and you just might hear the sounds of children crying, the distant echo of organ music, and doors inexplicably opening in the dead of night.
10 minutes
9
Millennium Bridge
Known as "The Wobbly Bridge" for its eerie swaying, this bridge is said to be cursed by visitors who have reported ghostly encounters and phantom splashes from the spirits of those who met their fate in the River Thames below.
5 minutes
10
Blackfriars Bridge
This bridge is a part of many morning commutes but its past is something more sinister: it was the site of one of London’s more recent murder mysteries. True crime junkies will get their fix with the morbid details of this Freemason conspiracy and cover-up.
10 minutes
11
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
The Globe Theatre presents theatrical hauntings with reports of apparitions in Elizabethan dress observing rehearsals and the sound of phantom applause. Uncover the unsettling stories linked to the Globe’s tragic history and the tale of how one actor's final performance ended in flames.
10 minutes
12
The Clink Prison Museum
Once notorious for its brutal history of torture and death, The Clink Prison is now a museum, but many believe the tormented souls of its past are still present. Visitors often hear anguished screams, the clinking of chains, and have unsettling encounters with a malevolent force, thought to be the ghost of the merciless jailer known as "The Gaoler."
5 minutes
13
Winchester Palace
We've saved the worst for last. We'll stand in front of the remnants of Winchester Palace, where hidden treasure comes at a cost and a curse. Discover the demonic past of this opulent palace and the truth about the most controversial bishop in London.
