Choose a convenient evening start time and meet your guide near Trafalgar Square for a journey through the city’s gruesome history. Board the ghost bus—a 1960s Routemaster with its own dark history—grab a seat in the shadowy lower or upper deck, and peek out the window as your coach winds through the sinister streets of the capital city.
With such a long and bloody history, many of London’s most esteemed landmarks—such as the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral and London Bridge—come with a side of infamy and mystery. Pass the Tower of London, where many tyrants (and the occasional innocent) met their death by ax, and Westminster Abbey to learn about the ancient royal tombs that were discovered there.
As you ride, hear chilling tales of London’s most prolific hauntings, deadliest diseases, and most depraved characters. Keep your wits as your guide recounts the Whitehall Mystery, a grisly murder case from the 19th century where neither the victim nor the killer were ever identified. Hear chilling tales of the black dog of Newgate Prison and of Sweeney Todd, the demon barber (and butcher!) of Fleet Street.
Your tour returns to the departure point with plenty of time to grab food or drink to warm your chilled soul.

Getting of the bus at the end was the best bit of the tour the Guide was shouting way to much never stop anywhere that was meant to be haunted

My friend and I greatly enjoyed the ghost tour.Our guide on the 19th of April 7.30 (sorry I’ve forgotten his name ) Was both knowledgeable and fun,and even as a Londoner the trip around London was great. I have already told family and friends to book for themselves as I know they would enjoy it

Excellent experience. Great host. Really interesting facts of the dark side of London told in an engaging and humourous way.

The tour guide was awesome. I am sure there is a driver out there thoroughly flummoxed wondering what he witnessed as he passed by the bus watching our guide!!

Wonderful to see London at night with the added touch of a few ghost stories. Some parts were a bit goofy but it was all in good fun.
Danielle_W, Jan 2024
I expected this to be a spooky drive-by tour of some noteworthy haunted buildings in London. Instead, it was a comedic, VERY cold bus ride with more stories about murder than ghosts. It was fine, somewhat entertaining and included some fun facts. But not at all what I expected. And would it kill them to install some heaters on the bus??!
