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.

5.00I’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.

5.00We 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

5.00Atmospheric 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.
