Your Guide, Declan, is an expert on London and British serial killers, AND world serial killers. Yes, Jack the Ripper, but NOT just Jack the Ripper - Declan knows about the behaviour and psychology of serial killers worldwide.

The Tour has, at this moment, 472 5-star reviews on Viator/TripAdvisor and it is rated ‘Excellent’ by Viator. It's also a 'Traveller's Choice' on TripAdvisor. This is an immersive and memorable experience.

The Tour is a 12+ certificate meaning ONLY people aged 12 and over can attend. That is because there are many chilling & disturbing stories. You will leave the Tour better informed - but also more wary...

With the 'Tour plus Book' option, you receive a personally signed copy of Declan McHugh's best-selling 'Bloody London' book, nearly 200 pages of dark deeds in London's grim past.

The Book is 90% different from the Tour - essentially, Book and Tour are two totally different products.  The Book has sold 8,500 copies so far, with excellent Amazon reviews.

I would seriously consider choosing a different Tour if you have mobility/significant health issues. It’s a fairly brisk pace – it has to be to cover 10 serial killers in two hours - and we cover 2 miles (3.2 km). And in Summer it can be hot all through the two hours. Truthfully (and quite apart from the subject matter), this Tour will not be suitable for everyone because of the distance and the reasonably fast pace. This Tour is also not recommended for people in their 70s because, as I said, it's quite fast-paced and we cover about 2 miles =3.2 kms.

Don't attend if you are feeling unwell and have a temperature with a new persistent cough

    Declan spent more time repeating himself and making us feel like children being very condescending than telling us information. Kept quizzing us on things that nobody could be expected to know in a very rude way ‘ what FOUR letter word did he say’ ‘NO I ALREADY MENTIONED THAT IT WASNT THAT CMON PEOPLE!’ Defo agree with the schoolteacher vibe someone else wrote. Never asked if we had any questions. Berated for not knowing much - that’s why we’re on the tour to learn! Kept talking about how in 23 years most people say this, I once had someone say this, rather than just encouraging curiosity. Arrogant. Jaded. He should do something else for a bit. The tour was busy about 35 people each he was making £700 for every 2 hours work undeserved IMO

  • Interesting look at a different side of London
