London Death and Debauchery Tour

Alternative London Walking Tours  >  Alternative History of London  >  Death and Debauchery Haunted London Tour

“This scary tour is so much more than a ghost walk. It had me laughing out loud, wincing at gory stories and marvelling at our history all at once! I took the tour as part of a staff outing from work but I will definitely be back with my friends too.”
– Monique Needham, Online Business Owner, London

Murder, crime and disease are three of the biggest parts of London’s past, and now you can hear all about the capital’s sordid history in eye-watering detail.

Be amazed and entertained by your Insider guide as you hear some of the most shocking stories of the bodies beneath our feet and the ghosts that still walk amongst us. From lucky ghosts to grizzly murder sprees, London is a genuine hotbed of death and debauchery.

This tour isn’t for the fainthearted. Tour highlights include:

• Gruesome tales of hangings, murder and grave-robbing
• The most haunted theatre in London
• The home of the two-headed boy of Bengal, and other ‘curiosities’
• The business that held “Dances on the Dead” – quite literally
• The ‘gin palaces’ that used to welcome 12-year olds
• An 18th Century directory of ‘Covent Garden Ladies’ – sort of like a Georgian Time Out for Prostitutes

“An amazing day that made everyone wince in places. We have heard the oddest stories about London’s gory past, it was amazing taking a tour that was so entertaining and dark all at once.”
– Claire Walters, PR Manager, Suffolk

“Other walking tours give you ghosts or murder, but none give you as much detail as this tour. There were parts where I literally couldn’t believe what I was hearing!“

– Sarah Blakenhall, Student, Edinburgh

“We decided to go on this tour over other ghost tours because we heard it offered the extra details and something a little different… it didn’t disappoint!”
– Brendan Hill, MD of a Communications Brand, London
