Overview

London has a unique and gruesome history, much of which is fuelled by an excess of alcohol. The locations on this tour have been involved in riots, rebellions, murders, executions, plots, and, of course, plenty of pints of beer! Because of this, each of the unique and individual pubs we visit as part of this tour has its own unique history and unique ghosts.

As part of this tour, not only will you visit some great pubs and have a chance to sample the delights of this part of London's pub scene, but you will also hear about the brutal, gory, and disturbing specters and spirits that haunt each pub and even some the locations that we will pass along the way.

Starting at one of the most haunted pubs in London, and finishing in one the most historic, this is the perfect tour for people interested in their Spirits and their Spirits.

Sadly, due to the UK's Alcohol laws, under 18s are not permitted on this tour, and ALL persons on the tour are expected to carry a photo ID with them.

What To Expect

This pub is haunted by two ghosts. One is the old landlord of the pub who keeps a watchful eye on the drinkers even to this day. The other is a red-headed gentleman who disappears without a trace.There was once an ancient tavern on this site and the current pub was built during the Victorian era. Today this pub is one of a handful of independent pubs in central London, and once was a favourite haunt of the nearby market workers.
