Itinerary

As darkness descends, make your way to the meeting point at London Bridge to connect with your guide, and set off on a walking tour of the storied area, once greatly feared by law-abiding Londoners.

Hear tales of the notorious figures who left their mark on the neighborhood, including the Bishop of Winchester, body snatchers awaiting their prey in darkened alleys, and a local lady whose ghost is said to haunt her favorite pub.

Listen as your guide relates chilling stories of surgery performed without anesthesia in a historic operating theater and the demise of poor souls who languished in England's oldest prison.

As you go, you'll admire after-dark views of the city and will soak up its unique atmosphere. Finally, the tour concludes at a central location.

Dark stories of London

Robin_M, Oct 2024

Great history lesson of early London and dark stories. A walk across the Bridge and thru the alleys of Old London

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hi Robin , thanks for leaving a 5 star review , we are pleased to hear your enjoyed your evening with Lantern Tours

Ok but a bit dull

Louise_B, Apr 2024

The guide we had was very pleasant but it was a pretty flat delivery of information from her, except for when we were outside the globe and she did a very animated speech from Othello. It felt more of a historical than a spooky tour. It was ok but not anywhere near as good as other ghost tours we have done in London.

A good night time walk

Laura_G, Apr 2024

This was a last minute booking for us, but my friend and myself enjoyed it. I wouldn't call it a ghost walk as such but more of a history walk, yes a few ghosts were spoken about, but not as much as we thought when we booked it. We learnt lots of history information that we have not heard before. We would recommend doing it.

London has a dark secret

Andy_T, Mar 2024

London has many dark secrets and this tour takes you back to the origins of London and how life used to be over 1000 yrs ago all the way upto recent times of 180 years ago. In the area of London bridge led around back streets and along the river and get a real feeling for how life was. We learnt alot and rewalked some of the tour in daylight the next day, paying our respects at the Cross Bones Graveyard where 15000 bodies are played to rest...thx Nick our Aussie guide.

Fantastic tour, fantastic guide!

Eric_W, Mar 2024

Wonderful tour! Our guide, Simon, was both entertaining and informative. The balance of history and dark/haunted stories was just right, making for a really fun evening. I highly recommend this tour- especially if you request Simon as your guide!
