Jack the Ripper Walking Tour

Known as one of the most haunted spots in London, Charterhouse Square hides a plague pit beneath its cobbles, and the dead haven’t stayed quiet. Restless victims, ghostly monks, and a headless Duke are said to stalk the shadows. Hear the stories of royal fury and revenge, and whatever you do... don’t look behind you.

Smithfield is no ordinary meat market, it’s a blood-soaked stage of execution and agony, and beneath the cobbles lie centuries of torment. See the tortured ghost of William Wallace lingering, hear phantom screams of the martyrs who were burned at the stake, and step carefully because the ground remembers.

By day, St. Bartholomew’s Hospital offers healing; by night, it becomes a place of suffering. Once a haven for plague victims, its walls now whisper with the medical malpractices that took place here, the echoes of ghostly doctors, dying patients, and a chilling child’s spirit. Look at him long enough, and you might never leave.

The Central Criminal Court now stands on the site of the infamous Newgate Prison, steeped in agony, death, and despair. But some believe the prison’s dark grip hasn’t fully loosened. The spectral Black Dog, a tormented spirit of an unjustly condemned man, still prowls the grounds, its growl a chilling reminder of the horrors that unfolded behind long-gone walls. Keep your eyes wide and your secrets close... you never know who might be watching.

This centuries-old pub is more than a watering hole, it's the most haunted pub in London and a haven for restless souls. The murdered smuggler still roams the halls, a woman in black lurks in the corners, and the spirits of patrons who never quite finished their last drink haunt the rooms. The beer may be cold, but the ghosts are colder... and they’re never ready to call it a night.

Beneath the beauty of St. Bride’s Church sits a darker truth. Its crypts, once brimming with skeletal remains from Roman times to the 19th century, hold secrets far more sinister than the church’s exterior lets on. Countless unsettling discoveries were made within those ancient walls, so many in fact, the crypts were sealed...perhaps to keep whatever lies buried from clawing its way back into the light.

The unsuspecting Fleet Street is home to a dark legend that has since inspired movies and musicals alike. Here you'll uncover the story of a barber with a craving for human flesh, and who would stop at nothing to get it.

St. Paul’s Cathedral may be grand, but when night falls, something wicked whistles. The Whistling Clergyman still haunts the All Souls’ Chapel, his eerie tune drifting through the air. Phantom organ music, ghostly cries, and doors that open by themselves, this sacred place is far from peaceful. Something unseen lingers in the dark, waiting.

Nicknamed "The Wobbly Bridge" for its unsettling sway, the Millennium Bridge carries more than just people, it’s said to carry a curse. Since its opening, eerie whispers have surfaced: ghostly figures in the mist, phantom splashes from the depths below, and an unsettling feeling of being watched. Some believe it’s the souls of those lost to the River Thames, forever trying to cross to the other side. Whatever you do, don’t jump.

The Blackfriars Bridge might be on the route of many a morning commute, but it harbours a darker past. This former crime scene is where true crime junkies get their fix. Get ready for the ghastly details of this Freemason conspiracy and cover-up, and one of the most compelling murder mysteries in London's recent history.

Shakespeare’s Globe may not scream "haunted," but its dark history tells another story. Crew members report a shadowy figure in Elizabethan garb watching rehearsals, footsteps echoing in empty halls, and phantom applause long after the show’s over. Here you'll uncover horrors more terrifying than fiction, of one actor's final fiery performance and demise. One thing's clear: the ghosts here still linger, waiting for their final act.

Once a place of unspeakable torture and death, The Clink Prison is now a museum, but its dark past refuses to stay buried. This is the oldest prison in London, and visitors often report chilling screams, the eerie rattle of chains, and a malevolent presence lurking in the shadows. Many believe the vengeful ghost of “The Gaoler,” a cruel jailer, still haunts the site, forever seeking retribution. Beware, what’s left behind isn’t just history.

We'll finish the tour at the remnants of Winchester Castle, but this is no setting for a fairytale. Here, hidden treasure comes at a cost and a curse, and you'll uncover the truth about the most controversial bishop in London.
