Overview

Ride a vintage Routemaster bus with a guide instead, covering the ground between them while the stories fill in what you're looking at. Pass landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, and Fleet Street, lit up as you go.
- See some of the capital’s most haunted sites, including those you might not find alone
- This evening activity is the ideal additional to a day of sightseeing
- Pack in plenty of London attractions in one convenient tour
- Travel in a classic 1960s Routemaster bus with a Gothic twist

Choose a convenient evening start time and meet your guide near Trafalgar Square for a journey through the city’s gruesome history. Board the ghost bus—a 1960s Routemaster with its own dark history—grab a seat in the shadowy lower or upper deck, and peek out the window as your coach winds through the sinister streets of the capital city.
With such a long and bloody history, many of London’s most esteemed landmarks—such as the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral and London Bridge—come with a side of infamy and mystery. Pass the Tower of London, where many tyrants (and the occasional innocent) met their death by ax, and Westminster Abbey to learn about the ancient royal tombs that were discovered there.
As you ride, hear chilling tales of London’s most prolific hauntings, deadliest diseases, and most depraved characters. Keep your wits about you as your guide recounts the Whitehall Mystery, a grisly murder case from the 19th century where neither the victim nor the killer was ever identified. Hear chilling tales of the black dog of Newgate Prison and of Sweeney Todd, the demon barber (and butcher) of Fleet Street.
Your tour returns to the departure point.

Easy to get tickets and find the tour bus. Our tour guide was a hoot! He is a really good comedian and was most engaging with the "audience." Fun!
Simon was very into the part which made the ride all the more interesting. His enthusiasm and personality made the tour enjoyable and worth while. Learned some interesting facts as well along the way.
Great guide Cedric funny and knowledgeable and friendly. Good goofy fun and wonderful trip through London at night. Highly recommended
We had a fabulous time with our charismatic and energetic guide, Stan. He was an absolute character and a pleasure to experience, providing captivating stories and plenty of laughter along the way. Well done for making full use of the bus, both upstairs and downstairs, and for utilising the camera so effectively.
You get to the end of the tour and only wish it was longer because it's just so fun!
It was excellent. Mr Holmes and the driver Hadje were fabulous and I learned lots, great sightseeing and great performance, although there were no jump scares.
The only problem is that it was advertised as between an hour and an hour 15, but only lasted 50 minutes.
Tour guide was very funny and engaging, interacted with every guest, kept everyone interested and entertained
Loved this experience! Lots of creepy stories with historic background! Mr Holmes was an excellent guide!
This tour was fun and entertaining. Stan did an amazing job of keeping us all entertained while giving us fun facts / tales about London.
Perfect story teller , blend of fun and insights to the world of ghosts according to Sherlock. 😊 thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
It was a lot of fun, does give you some tidbits about overall London too has you drive by places....
Narrator was EXCELLENT as was ambiance in the bus.
Information about the locations was very interesting.
Thoroughly enjoyed
Highly recommend
This was a great tour - hilarious, engaging, and informative at the same time. Our guide was great, the performative aspect of the tour was so funny, and it was a quick and easy way to see parts of the city that we normally wouldn’t even think about seeing. Loved it!
The environment is very cozy and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour guide's delivery of the intriguing info about London's ghosts. It was like being treated to a one-man theatrical show. Very engaging and great fun.
This Ghost tour was a very fun diversion for the end of the day. Stan, the tour guide was very animated and had a great dad jokes; as well as several spooky stories.
So much fun on the Necrobus!
A spooky, yet not scary, often hilarious tour through some of the darker tales London has to offer. Our guide, Stan was absolutely fantastic and committed to his role. #westanforstan
Great family fun, or for a silly date night out.
The tour guide was fantastic and has a great sense of humor. I’ve done quite a few ghost tours, so I did expect it to be a little more creepy, but even though it wasn’t what I expected, I had a fabulous time. The bus driver was great as well. I felt very safe. Thank you for making my first trip to London memorable.
Such a fun way to see the London! We have done ghost tours in every city we visit for the last 10 years. This was definitely one of the most enjoyable!
Well, it’s was entertaining I suppose. The bus was warm. The guide was a little abrasive for my taste. He was super loud, got right in your face and the amount of vomit sounds were over the top! Also the sights while on the bus were sometimes mentioned after you had already passed so you didn’t see them. Would I recommend? Maybe not…
amazing experience. will definitely recommend. london was soo nice for vacation!! good food, nice people
Stan Broker was our tour guide, and he made the ghost bus tour come alive. The information in the tour is very interesting, but his very energetic performance throughout the tour was worth the price of admission by itself.
Ghost bus tour Was great well worth doing and the host was great had a fantastic night ...... .......
This was a funny, spooky tour of London that offered interesting history you would not get on any other tour. The guide was great, interactive and informative. We had a blast and even saw a ghost!
The Ghost Bus Tour was a wonderfully eerie ride with a host who was perfectly electric, energetic enough to keep everyone engaged, but never tipping into over-the-top theatrics. His delivery had that ideal balance of charm and chill, making the ghostly lore feel fun rather than frightening.
The stories were rich with history and just spooky enough to keep the adults leaning in, while still being completely enjoyable for our three younger children. Plenty of atmosphere, plenty of laughs, and just a whisper of goosebumps, the kind you don’t mind getting.
The host’s timing, humor, and storytelling made the whole experience feel polished and cleverly crafted. A ghost tour that doesn’t try too hard to scare you, but absolutely succeeds in entertaining you. A hauntingly good time for families and anyone who enjoys a little lore with their London sightseeing.
Cedric was amazing! So entertaining and such a great balance of history and performance. Definitely recommend!
Fun tour - learned some spooky history and got a quick and breezy round of the city's landmarks with darker legends. Tour host "Cedric" was utterly fantastic - an absolutely hilarious and entertaining performer who 1000% made the tour worth taking.
We had a great time on this tour! Our guide was Cedric and couldn’t have asked for a better one! He was super entertaining and engaging the whole time. Would absolutely recommend!!!!!
We had such a fun time on this tour. It was funny (cheesy so of the time) but learned a lot of the history of the city.
A fun way to learn about the history of the city. Our guide, Scar, was an amazing actor and had my kids (11 & 13) laughing.
Scar was absolutely amazing! Not only was the tour entertaining, we learned some awesome (and creepy) London history. Would recommend to anyone! Scar made it spooky, funny, and informative! Loved it!
Do not miss this tour if you are in London it's a definite must. Our guide Stan was definitely the man. Thank you for giving us an interesting tour with lots of information
