London has a fascinating history... but also a dark one. If you want to get a deeper insight, this free tour of Londinium's dark history is the perfect option. You'll delve into the British capital's murky past, with tales that combine history, mystery and horror.

You'll start on Tower Hill, where you'll hear about the origins of the city and the bloody executions near the Tower of London. From there you'll head to sites such as All Hallows Church, one of London's oldest temples, and the Great Fire Memorial, evoking the devastation of 1666.

As you make your way through the City, you'll learn legends about the Bank of England, ghost stories that still haunt St Paul's Cathedral, and secrets hidden in one of the world's most powerful financial centres.

The tour ends at Smithfield Market, a place that in the Middle Ages was the scene of public executions and grisly deeds. Along the way, you will walk through old hospitals, prisons and markets with a past marked by suffering, superstition and darkness.

This is not a conventional tour: it's an experience for the curious, the lovers of macabre stories and those who want to discover the lesser-known - and more chilling - side of London.
