After boarding the gothic-themed bus in Northumberland Avenue (a stone's throw from Trafalgar Square), your ghoulish guide will take your past the notorious haunts of restless spirits, the burial sites of diseased Londoners, and share bone-chilling tales about Charles I's execution, the public hangings on Tower Hill, and the Royal tombs in Westminster Abbey.

Onboard the Ghost Bus Tour

You'll learn about the black dog of Newgate Prison, the 19th-century's most gruesome murder case, and see where the demon barber of Fleet Street Sweeney Todd carried out his grisly killings. He'll even show you where they stuck the traitors' heads on the City gates!

Passing Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament

Brace yourself for a few surprises along the way (it used to be a funeral bus). Maybe the dead will come along for the ride!

A nightime sightseeing tour

Passing St. Paul's Cathedral
Passing St. Paul's Cathefdral

Your black bus will take you past some of London's most famous landmarks including Big Ben and Parliament, Downing Street, St. Paul's Cathedral, Southwark Cathedral, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

Is it suitable for children?

The tour is not recommended for young children because it is genuinely quite scary.

If you like the idea of a nighttime tour without all the ghosts then try See London By Night instead. The most popular daytime buses are the Tootbus Tour and Big Bus Tour.
