The Fading Light London Ghost Walk
Overview

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.

5.00We had the most wonderful evening guided by Alan through the streets of London. He provided great knowledge on areas of London as well as been a really friendly chap. We felt the fee for the tour was very reasonable priced for 2 hours. One thing we would recommend is to bring extra layers if it’s cold as you stop for periods of time where it can be windy and we got quite chilly.
Ghost Walk Win!
