Discover London’s Gruesome History
The REAL London - a city of serial killers, murder, disease, and crime…
Forget about a trip to the Tower of London or your standard Jack the Ripper tour, this is the perfect tour for you! But beware, this tour is not for the faint of heart. The ghosts of London’s sadistic characters and vengeful victims lurk around every corner, and misery loves company…
Delve into London’s Gruesome History with our 5*-rated walking tour: perfect for Halloween!
Our tour begins at the world-famous London Bridge, a site of cold-blooded murder and humiliation for London’s executed criminals. Led by your fearless guide, you will experience the blood-curdling history behind London’s iconic landmarks: the Tower of London, The Monument, and North Bank. Then, if you are feeling brave, we will head into the back streets of east London to uncover the tales of murder and disease that lie in wait for you there.
On this tour, you won’t just hear about Jack the Ripper, the Plague, the Great Fire of London, and the brutal treatment of London’s criminals (which we all want to hear about of course), but also lesser known killers, the great smog, the London Beer Flood, the Kray twins, Phosey Jaw, and the famous Gunpowder Plot. Our tales will disturb, horrify and crack your sides with laughter.

“If you love true crime and the macabre, you will find this walking tour thrilling. Matt provided a great mixture of history and storytelling with several well-times jokes. He’s an expert who can field your random murder-related questions while walking and not miss a beat.”

“Such a brilliant thing to do. Our guide, Sophie, was very passionate and enraptured us in VERY gruesome stories about the darker side to life in London. We learnt a lot and enjoyed meeting the other attendees. It was a good duration. I got the experience as a surprise for my friend who has lived in London for 8 years and she loved it. That's to say, it's for Londoners and tourists alike.”
