Central London Experience Gifts: Explore London from a one-of-a-kind perspective and venture into the city's chilling history... if you dare!
Your journey commences at the meeting point, Barbican Station, where your guide will warmly welcome you. From there, you'll embark on a captivating odyssey through the heart of London, where tales of bloodshed, horror, and the uncanny await. As you stroll through the city's streets, you'll be transported a millennium into the past, immersing yourself in gripping accounts of kings, spirits, and public executions. Witness the very locations where executions and mass burials occurred, including the resting place of those claimed by the Black Death.
This tour isn't for the faint of heart, as your guide delves into intricate descriptions of medieval execution methods, the macabre spectacles surrounding infamous criminals (or perhaps the wrongly accused), and the stark realities of the squalid slums that inspired Charles Dickens in crafting his timeless masterpiece, “Oliver Twist.” For those who relish a dose of gruesome history, the Guided Tour of London's Dark Past makes an extraordinary experience gift!

Guided Walking Tour of London's Gruesome Past
Travel through a thousand years of history, meeting kings, body snatchers, Charles Dickens, an eighteenth century ghost, and William Wallace - aka Braveheart (and learn how he was in no fit state to shout "Freeeedoooommmm!" whilst being executed!)
On our guided walking tour we'll visit the areas around Smithfield, for centuries London's site of both animal and human slaughter. We'll learn about how the city disposed of the tens of thousands of Black Death corpses in the fourteenth century, the execution methods used in the Middle Ages, and how the area became a notorious slum which Dickens used as the setting for Oliver Twist.
