Tom was a fantastic guide who made the time fly at the end of a rather long day in beautiful London. An incredibly good storyteller who knew how to engage us and help us discover new sides of this exciting city. Highly recommended!

Book now, you won’t regret it!
Absolutely fantastic! I booked this tour for our employees and we loved every minute. I booked through one of the guides, Martin who assisted me in booking the right tour, found us a great guide and scouted a pub for us to go to afterwards. Our guide Murray was one of the best tour guides I’ve had on a walking tour. He was engaging, energetic and a wonderful story teller. The feedback that I’ve received from all who attended has been extremely positive, and they are even going to book their own tours through See your City.

Love a good dad joke
Suraj warned us about his dad jokes and they did not disappoint. His perfectly dry humor was exactly what these dark subjects needed. He was knowledgeable, personable and I would highly recommend this tour. And Suraj in particular.

Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk cost?
+
Prices start at £18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 3,346 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk?
+
Around 1,171 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Ghosts, Ghouls & Gallows : The Ultimate London Ghost Walk?
