Description
Welcome to the late-night London ghost walk.
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.
While most other ghost walks will be coming to an end, we will just be getting started.

Spooky Tales of London!
This tour was an incredible two hours length of time filled with great ghost stories. Our tour guide, Alan, was knowledgeable, incredibly personable, and a fantastic storyteller. I am a new resident to the area with friends visiting, I plan to make this tour a staple of my itinerary. Bring cash to tip your guide because, when you are done, you will want to thank him for the service.
Operator response
Hi Jamie, Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself, and this is dispite the humidity, and the England world cup game going on in the background lol, You were both amazing gusts, I hope to see you again some time. Until then :)

Amazing stories, iconic landmarks and fantastic value for money!
This was a wonderful tour by Alan showcasing some incredible London landmarks as well as some lesser known spots. Alan had amazing knowledge and is a very skilled storyteller. This tour wasn’t only great for ghost stories but also for understanding more about London’s rich history. All in all this tour was truly fantastic value for money and well worth doing. Don’t be put off by the 9pm start time, London looks beautiful at night and feels very atmospheric. Thank you so much Alan, I’ll definitely be recommending this tour to friends and family! :)
Operator response
Hi Ruby, Great to hear from you. It was such a good night, and very atompheric to boot, I still have no clue as to what that thing in the bushes was at the start walk lol.
But the two of u were also amazing guest, you really got in to the stories. And like I said at the end, I hope I didn't scare you to much lol

Great late night stroll with interesting stories!
We had a great time on Alan's ghost tour. Didn't meet up with any ghouls this time but got so much information and amazing stories that were well presented and easy to follow even as a non native english speaker. It was also interesting to walk in areas that weren't familiar with us before this and we loved the late night version, since it indeed was much more quiet and gave a more eerie feeling to it all. It was a bit of a walk but a durable one (if one hadn't already walked over 16 000 steps on the same day....). Would recommend, thanks again Alan!

A brilliant ghost tour, but don't let the late start time put you off from attending it.
I've been on quite a few ghosts tours for quite a while now, but this one was slightly different, for quite a few reasons. The first reason is that it actually started later than other tours, at 9pm to be precise.
The second reason is that Alan the tour guide claims to be a ghost hunter, that is no understatement, he definitely is. I should know because I am also a paranormal enthusiast who has studied this subject for a very long time and I was able to confirm to the other guests that the stories he was telling them and me was 100% correct.
The third reason is that he also tells the guests information, which some tour guides who do similar ghost walks, do in fact miss out on. An example of this is when he mentions that Newham Prison has (according to legend) a ghostly hound haunting part of that location. Some of the ghost tours I've been on, don't even mention this.
Despite the fact that this tour starts late, if you have the time. It's still worth going to. There was one ironic addition to this tour which was slightly unexpected and also quite amusing, you had the ghost tour bus going past us while Alan was telling us a story near St Bartholomew's Hospital. (Years ago I went on this bus and if you want my advise, stick to the tour guides especially Alan, it's much better)
During the visit there was one place, which I was surprised was closed and that is The Viaduct Tavern. This is one of the most haunted pubs in London.
All in all, it was a very good tour of London but don't let the 9pm start time put you off from going on to it. Because, you will find that London is a lot quieter including the traffic on the road. So do still consider attending it.

Hi David, it was great to have another ghost hunter along on the walk. I glad you enjoyed yourself.
