Richard Jones has written many books of London walks. They include Walking Dickensian London, Memorable Walks in London (now into its 6th edition), Walking Haunted London (the 4th edition of which comes out in September), History and Mystery Walks of London, not to mention his free Harry Potter PDF which has now been requested over 2,000 times.

In addition to his books of London walks Richard is also a prolific writer on Britain’s more mystical and paranormal heritage. His books range from Mystical Britain and Ireland to the international best seller Haunted Britain and Ireland.

Richard has travelled all over Britain and Ireland collecting ghost stories for his seventeen published books on Britain’s more ethereal history. He is also widely acknowledged as the best ghost walk guide in London.

Walks that take in everything from haunted plaque pits to haunted pubs are Richard’s stock in trade and with 28 years of doing ghost tours in London he is, as the Evening Standard  memorably put it “pretty much ahead of the pack.”

In May this year Richard was appraoched by a major international publisher asking if he would write a new book on Haunted Britain for them.

Since it has been over a year since he wrote his last book History and Mystery Walks of Edinburgh, and almost six years since he wrote his last major work on Britain’s spectral landscape, Richard was happy to accept.

Thus the new book is now in the planning stages and, in September, Richard wset off for the higlands of Scotland to begin another of his jaunts around Britain.

The book will feature mostly new locations and, as with all Richard’s books on the subject, each one of them will be open to or accessible by the public.

Needless to say Richard will be cutting back on his regualr London walks whilst he is off jaunting around the haunted landscapes of Britain, but he still plans to do his Friday and Saturday night London ghost walk.

One of the new aspect of the up and coming book is that Richard will post a reguular blog here on his travels from whichever location he happens to be in on that particular day. You will be able to follow his progress around the country and, as it were, eavesdrop on his  conversations and discoveries. Indeed, it is hoped that you might feel moved to help out with the research for the book by letting Richard know of any haunted locations near you that you think should be included in the new book. As long as they are open to the public Richard will be delighted to visit and consider them.

In the meantime why not join Richard on one of his haunted London walks and see gor yourself why his is widely considered to be the most in depth and best presented ghost walk in London?
