An expert-led, spine-chilling walking tour guided by one of London's top horror experts.
This is the story of London's most infamous barber, Sweeney Todd.
The Sweeney Todd tour takes you to the shadowy alleyways off Fleet Street where Sweeney had his notorious barber's shop and Mrs Lovett had her infamous pie shop! Hear the story of how Sweeney chose his victims very carefully, robbed them, murdered them and disposed of their bodies with Mrs Lovett's help! See St Dunstan's church which aided these two to get rid of their victims bodies.
Also hear about other gruesome and ghostly happenings in this area, around the Temple which was built in the 12th century, it's connection to Jack the Ripper. Wander alleyways long forgotten and hear stories of strange hauntings and ghostly apparitions! See the site of Temple Bar where criminal's heads were displayed after execution in the 17th century. Also hear the tale of Sawney Bean and his family, they had a lot in common with Sweeney Todd as you will find out if you join us on this horror walk!
The route takes in many other fascinating points of interest such as The Inner Temple, Dr Johnson's House, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese 17th Century famous pub and the beautiful "Wedding Cake" church.
This is an enthralling tour which weaves its way through little known parts of London's historic City and will leave a lasting impression on you.
Come and be terrified, if you dare!
We strongly advise warm, outdoor all-weather clothing and oh yes, best not eat a traditional London Pie & Mash supper immediately after taking the tour....just in case!
