Long description

Learn all about London's ancient scary tales, from the women who were accused of witchcraft to those who met their end by flames or poison. Join your guide on an insightful walk through the city's darkest sites and immerse yourself in their horrifying history. Meet at Old Street Station to begin your walk and make your way to the hill of the bones. Move on to Smithfield, the site of the burnings at the stake. Navigate the winding alleyways of the city as you hear their spooky legends and arrive at the old ruins of Christchurch Greyfriars and Newgate Gaol. Glimpse the white tower and perhaps catch sight of headless Ann Boleyn. Walk down to Wapping and the execution dock. End your tour at The Town of Ramsgate pub in Wapping, where you can take a drink to settle your nerves.
