After boarding the gothic-themed bus in Northumberland Avenue (a stone's throw from [Trafalgar Square](https://londondrum.com/attractions/houses-of-parliament.php)), 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](https://londondrum.com/attractions/tower-hill.php), and the Royal tombs in [Westminster Abbey](https://londondrum.com/attractions/westminster-abbey.php).

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!

## Is it suitable for children?
