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.

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.

Hearing my own personal ghostly experiences as we walk through narrow alleys once familiar to the writer Charles Dickens.
