London’s city structure has seen a lot of change since the old days with added skyscrapers and trendy restaurants on every corner, therefore you might find it difficult to imagine London’s haunted past. On the London Ghost Tour you get to sneak through the quite, dark streets of London and hear stories of the ghosts, ghouls and spectres that creep and crawl in the city’s back alleys after it gets dark. You might even see them come alive. Countless stories of misery, suffering, blood-curdling crime and murders most horrid have left London filled with midnight monsters and devilish demons. It takes a lot of courage to walk in the footsteps of the unexplained... do you dare? If you do, Meet the Streets and join the Ghastly Ghost Tour, only to be chilled to the bone.
