It is said that England is the most haunted country on Earth, and indeed, there are more ghost stories and strange tales, mile for mile, than any other place in the world. With such a rich and varied history, this should come as no real surprise. Therefore, it seems only fitting that it should also have the most haunted capital city on Earth. On this ghost walk, we will encounter everything from murderous queens to demon dogs, as well as a few gentler souls. And while this walk is primarily a ghost walk, I will also point out a few places of historical interest.
Not only will you be led by a fully experienced City of London guide, but also a veteran ghost hunter. Who has personally taken part in over 15 overnight ghost hunts across England.
The guide is also a horror author, who loves anything to do with the supernatural.
The walk starts from St. Paul's Underground Station, Exit One, Which is near to St, Paul's cathedral. The guide will be standing with a sign, which has the walks name printed upon it.
Just off of Lower Thames Street. The closest underground station is Monument. The guide will provide directions to the nearest stations once the walk has finished.
