Hi I'm Jenny, I was born in England and I've lived in London for 5 years now. I have a real passion for the darker side of history. Learning about the way in which our ancestors lived really helps us apricate our lives now and how our world was formed. I'm particularly creative too, when I'm not out and around London giving tours I tend to be curled up with my knitting or painting.

Tour description

Dive into the bloody past of London, together we'll seek out the gruesome and disturbed history that built this great city.
We'll explore the main sites of famous historic events that are often left out of your typical tourist walk for their disturbing horrors.

We cover 500 years of bloody London history. A walk filled with tales of infamous betrayals, body snatching, torture, and executions so disturbing they'll make you shudder at the thought.

Warning: not for the faint-hearted we will go into grim and gory details

Starting at Smithfield Rotunda Garden and finishing at St Paul's Cathedral this walk takes approximately 2 hours, cash and card payments accepted for tips. The route is all outside with little to no shelter at the stops so please dress appropriately.

Book now to secure your place and make sure to bring a friend (you'll need someone to hold your hand through the nasty bits)
