Tour Overview:
Your journey begins at the site of a brutal murder, where the first of many souls fell victim to London’s executioner. As you pass London’s oldest surviving house, hear how entire families vanished in the flames of the Great Fire of 1666—some believed to have been cursed for their dark practices.
Stroll down Cock Lane, once home to medieval brothels, where women were often accused of witchcraft and poisoning. Some were said to sell charms and love potions, but if a man fell ill or died, they were branded as witches and dragged to trial.
Feel the weight of history as you reach a church where the Execution Bell tolled twelve times, signaling the final moments before a soul was sent to the gallows. Close by, uncover the gruesome site where witches were set ablaze, accused of consorting with demons and bringing plague upon the city.
Your path leads to the ruins of a Roman cult, where blood rituals and secret ceremonies once took place. Stand where a hidden altar was discovered, and hear how its sacrificial offerings echo the trials of those burned as witches centuries later.
Pass by Dirty Dick’s, a pub named after a man who never washed his “magic wand”, before standing at the very site where Queen Mary I, “Bloody Mary,” ordered the deaths of hundreds in a reign of terror.
Finally, end your journey at London’s oldest haunted church, where the spirits of witches, traitors, and the betrayed are said to remain. Some who enter feel a chill, others claim to hear whispers—but all leave knowing London’s dead are never far away.
