London’s scariest attractions
The London Dungeon
The new London Dungeon has all the ghastly gore and black comedy of the old Tooley Street attraction in a bigger and more high-tech package.
Hampton Court Palace
Henry VIII had many palaces, but Hampton Court is one that oozes drama - the ghost of Henry's fifth wife, Catherine Howard, is said to shriek around in the Haunted Gallery.
Tower of London
The Royal Armoury in the White Tower, displays swords, armour, spiky maces and other gruesome tools for separating human beings from their body parts.
Ghost Bus Tours
Roll up for a tour on a gothic, black-painted Routemaster to hear half-factual, half-fictional tales about the sinister side of London, from an on-board troupe of actors and comics.
