Dracula, Frankenstein and London’s Literary Ghosts
London is home to and inspiration for some of the most terrifying horror stories ever written. The London's Literary Ghosts tour brings them to life.
This is NOT a Jack the Ripper Tour or a ghost tour - but rather a tour of London's haunted theatrical and literary past and the real life places that inspired some of the world's most famous horror stories.
The Route
In this 1-hour 45-minute tour, you'll walk in the footsteps of the creators of Frankenstein, Dracula and several terrifying others.
See where Mary Shelley, Bram Stoker, Shakespeare, Dickens and others took inspiration to craft some of the most macabre and terrifying ghost stories ever put to paper.
We begin by a depiction of the decomposing corpse of one of the city's greatest writers, work our way through London's terrifying legal district, and conclude on the steps of St Paul's Cathedral.
The route is gentle and accessible. We begin the tour just across the road from Charing Cross and conclude outside St Paul's Cathedral.
Run by Bookmarked founders, Adam RW & Leo Flanagan, the London's Greatest Horror Stories tour is devilishly delightful and is one of our most popular routes.
We loved our Spooky Book Tour in the dark with Adam this Halloween week. We heard some seriously scary stories and visited some deliciously ghoulish spots like the Hunterian Museum. Keep those stories coming - thanks so much Adam!
