Tour Route
This haunted tour of London begins at Trafalgar Square, exploring the restless spirits beneath its fountains, before moving to the ghostly monk of Buckingham Palace and the “Shadowy Monk” within the cloisters of Westminster Abbey. The journey continues past the Victorian mysteries of Downing Street to St. Paul’s Cathedral, where a “Whistling Monk” glides through the nave above ancient crypts. After witnessing the bloody history of betrayal at the Tower of London, the tour crosses Tower Bridge to peer into “Dead Man’s Hole” in the Thames. Finally, the route bridges the old and new at The Shard, overlooking the unmarked graves of the “Liberty of the Clink,” before concluding with a panoramic view of the city’s spectral skyline from the London Eye.
