Criminals & Legends of London

"Great tour of the City of London, taking in some very well known sights and a few off the beaten track with tales of famous criminals and related places of interest, Gavin gave a very entertaining walk with lots of dramatic performances relishing in sending shivers down the spine with all the spooky bits. Very enjoyable."

I invite you to experience London as never before, a darker London riddled with crime, violence, mystery and hauntings. By day the financial and business capital of London, the City of London is also one of the oldest parts of the city, with two thousand years of history waiting to come alive for you. See many sites, some world famous, some practically unknown, some hidden, and hear stories of murder and mayhem, robbery and executions, hauntings and ghostly visions from the Middle Ages to the present day.

On this evening walking tour you will learn of ghostly stories, often tragic, sometimes sad but all gruesome! Enjoy a thrilling evening stroll, as you explore one of London’s most historical and fascinating areas.

Duration: 2 hours

Highlights include:

Exploring London’s ghostly dark and criminal past.
Visiting a Victorian pub with a secret. Built on the site of an old prison and haunted today by a poltergeist.
Walking through the old meat market, once a place of execution and where you could purchase something very shocking!
Hearing my own personal ghostly experiences as we walk through narrow alleys once familiar to the writer Charles Dickens.
Tracing the footsteps of the Body Snatchers.
Seeing the splendid architecture of the Guildhall where infamous trials took place leading to horrific executions.
Walking over ancient burial pits, learn about witchcraft trials and public executions – hanging, burning, boiling and roasting alive, amongst other terrible fates.

Why not combine this tour with a visit to St Paul's Cathedral, which is close to the area. Or alternatively, head over to a The Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels and hear all about the imprisonments, torture and executions that took place in the gruesome castle!
