London is an ancient city with over 2,000 years of wars, invasions, plagues, fires, squalor, murders and executions. This spooky tour takes us around the maze of Roman, Viking and Medieval Streets, Georgian passageways and old Victorian slums.
Taking place almost entirely within the original old City of London, this 2-3 hour walking tour will show you parts of London with dark history and verified haunting spots of ghosts from the Middle Ages right up into the 21st Century.
