Dark Side of the City of London Halloween Walking Tour
Discover the darker side of the Square Mile on this special Halloween walking tour through the historic City of London. Starting near St Paul’s Cathedral, we’ll make our way east through the City, uncovering stories of execution, violence, superstition, disaster and some of the more macabre episodes from London’s past. Along the way, you’ll hear about the so-called London Monster who terrified the capital in the 18th century, legends of human sacrifice at London Stone, mysterious reports of fire during the Great Fire of London, and the severed heads once displayed on Old London Bridge. We’ll also explore tales of public execution at Tower Hill, the medieval legend of St Dunstan and the Devil, and finish beside Tower Bridge at Dead Man’s Hole — a former recovery point for bodies pulled from the River Thames. This is a historical walking tour rather than a ghost hunt, combining real events, old legends and easily missed details hidden in the streets around you.
