The London Ghost Bus Tour

@ 8 Northumberland Avenue on Various dates from Tuesday 22nd September 2026

The London Ghost Bus Tour is a suitably creepy activity and a way to soak up all the city's fabulous sights. Grab your tickets from £17 each and prepare to be spooked as you climb aboard an eerie Necrobus for a 75-minute ride through the dark and haunted history of London.

You'll zoom past Westminster Abbey, Fleet Street, The Tower of London and more, all with a ghoulish conducted at the wheel telling you all you need to know about these eeire places. Learn about unmarked burial grounds, haunted palaces, and... well, the list goes on. Have you got what it takes?

Tower Of London

A royal palace, formidable prison and alleged ghost hotspot, the Tower of London already has the perfect credentials for a suitably spooky day out. Tickets begin at £37 for grown-ups and £18.50 for little ones (under 5s are free), unlocking the seasonal trail, theatrical characters, atmospheric sound effects and the landmark's permanent historic highlights.

Designed to delight rather than terrify, it's an appealing half-term pick for little monsters and brave adults alike. It might be more of a self-guided tour, but you'll learn plenty along the way.
