Being scared is a strange feeling, yet one which we bizarrely enjoy as evidenced by the continuing appeal of the supernatural. Ghouls and ghost stories are common things which people use to give themselves a bit of a fright. People can use all sorts of things to make a scary night, such as a really scary movie or a visit to an atmospheric haunted house. As good as these things are for creating an eerie mood, there is one thing that is just that little bit better.
At London Discovery Tours we offer a wide range of London walking tours based around ghost stories. As you creep and sneak around the deep dark alleyways of London, you will listen to spooky tales of the evil people and their ghastly spirits who walked these streets at one time, and perhaps still do. With nowhere to run, these really are London walks designed to give you the creeps.
Listen to tales of fictional characters such as Sweeney Todd, the murderous barber who sliced the throats of his wealthy customers, stole their money and then disposed of the bodies by making them into tasty pies with his partner in crime, Mrs Lovett.
Or perhaps dare to walk the London streets of the famous East End, where violent gangs and the evil Kray twins once ruled the streets and showed no mercy to anybody who got in their way. Whether they are based on fact or fiction, our scary London walking tours will really test your nerves, but in the most delightful and fascinating manner.
