The Fading Light London Ghost Walk

Overview

Available languages

2 hours

Mobile ticket

It is said that England is the most haunted country on Earth, and indeed, there are more ghost stories and strange tales, mile for mile, than any other place in the world. With such a rich and varied history, this should come as no real surprise. Therefore, it seems only fitting that it should also have the most haunted capital city on Earth. On this ghost walk, we will encounter everything from murderous queens to demon dogs, as well as a few gentler souls. And while this walk is primarily a ghost walk, I will also point out a few places of historical interest.

Not only will you be led by a fully experienced City of London guide, but also a veteran ghost hunter. Who has personally taken part in over 15 overnight ghost hunts across England.

The guide is also a horror author, who loves anything to do with the supernatural.

I’d highly recommend this ghost tour! Alan is a fantastic storyteller, blending haunting ghost tales with fascinating local history. He’s engaging, friendly, and clearly passionate about what he does. The tour truly came alive as we explored beautiful — yet wonderfully eerie — landmarks around the area.
Excellent Guided Ghost Tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our guided walking ghost tour with Alan. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a great ghost story teller. It is not all about the ghost stories though, we learnt a lot of historical facts about this area of London some of which were a little gruesome! The tour ran on time and we found Alan easily enough at exit 1. He is thoughtful about the stops and there are normally seats to sit on at most of the locations. Alan is definitely the right person to do this guided tour with and is enthusiastic about the subject. We loved it and would recommend the tour and him without hesitation.
Atmospheric ghost walk

Atmospheric ghost walk with great City locations and interesting narrative. Lots of history and architecture as well as plenty of ghost stories. The Black Dog story gave me the shivers! Alan strides out fast so you need to keep up, but there are lots of stops, and he's really thoughtful at stopping where there are seats nearby. He talks fast too, but there's so much to cram in, it's a really full tour, I'd recommend it.
Fun evening adventure.

Such a fun time. My mom and I love ghost tours and always try to go to one wherever we go. Alan was an engaging storyteller and really knew his stuff. Wandering the city at night just added to the eeriness. Loved the history we learned and the creepy stories. Would highly recommend Alan and his tour to others.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly! He doesn’t just know about the ghosts but also the history of the city of london. He took us to lots of scenic spots in central London. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a haunted ghost walk.

It was the best ghost tour we ever went! The places, the stories were all so interesting. The ghost stories mixed with history was truly amazing touch. If you are looking for an authentic ghost tour - this is the one you need! In addition, I would like to say a huge thank you for not cancelling our tour even though it was only one reservation (2 people).
