England · GHOST TOURS IN LONDON
The good ghost tours in London here go weeks ahead, and the great ones go first. Below: which 4 to book early, what each includes and where they differ.
Explore Jack the Ripper sites, Smithfield Market, execution history, and haunted London by vintage coach, ending at the Sherlock Holmes Pub.
“There was nothing haunted about this tour. It was only focused on the Jack the Ripper only. There was nothing about Sherlock Holmes but to be dropped off at the pub at the end of the tour.”
Explore haunted Mayfair by night, from Green Park’s plague pit to royal ghosts, with a guide, a little history, and some practical caveats.
“The tour was good, not particularly scary but interesting enough - if you have a spare night in London and you're into plague pits and hainted buildings, this is a good one.”
Explore Greenwich after dark on a two-hour ghost walk with tales of pirates, wartime hauntings, Dickens, Houdini, and the Queen's House ghost.
“A brilliant walk around Greenwich- Jamie was a fantastic guide, we were lucky enough to be the only guests on that particular evening tour and he really made it a special experience for us (myself and my 13yr old daughter who's fascinated by the paranormal). Great relaxed manner with an excellent knowledge of history and literature, also really knew his stuff on the spooky side with some great tales of paranormal investigations. A very manageable walk on level ground and a family-friendly finish time at just after 9pm. Highly recommended!”
Explore haunted pubs, plague sites, old churches, and execution grounds on a small-group London walk led by engaging guide Arthur.
“Interesting historical inputs. The guide has studied history and knew lots about all kinds of topics. Not just reciting, but "living" the stories. We loved it.”
Pick a city, a castle or a walk.
