The Tower of London has a long a gruesome history. This is where King Henry VIII’s wife Anne Boleyn was beheaded, and many have claimed to see her headless figure haunting the tower. We take you to a spot close by, which gives excellent views over the tower itself.

50 Berkeley Square

This building is known as the most haunted house in London. Throughout its history, the building has been the home of a prime minister, the sanctuary of a recluse and the offices of an antiquarian book dealer. The attic is rumoured to be haunted by a young girl who threw herself from the window.

Haunted theatres

There are many ghostly tales from London’s theatre scene. See the plaque outside the Adelphi Theatre marking the spot where William Terriss, a notable figure from English theatre, was murdered by a deranged actor. His ghost is now said to haunt Covent Garden station.

Haunted pubs

London is filled with haunted taverns. One of the most notorious is the Nell Gwynne pub, which is said to be haunted by a friendly man in a cloth cap – friendly, that is, until someone tried to make changes to the building. Several landlords have left the pub for unspecified reasons.
