Explore London after dark on a two-hour ghost walk from All Hallows to St. Paul’s, mixing eerie tales, crime, and city history.

“Our guide was easy to talk with and answered all our questions and had a pretty solid grasp of London history. However, there were fewer ghost stories than we were expecting. Also, many of the places we visited did not feel like they had a ghostly feel them. As a history tour, it was good. As a ghost story tour, it was so so.”

“A brilliant walk around Greenwich- Jamie was a fantastic guide, we were lucky enough to be the only guests on that particular evening tour and he really made it a special experience for us (myself and my 13yr old daughter who's fascinated by the paranormal). Great relaxed manner with an excellent knowledge of history and literature, also really knew his stuff on the spooky side with some great tales of paranormal investigations. A very manageable walk on level ground and a family-friendly finish time at just after 9pm. Highly recommended!”
