Legends and Mysteries of Dark London Tour

Explore the most disturbing history of the City of London, where real events surpass any legend.

On this tour, you'll discover the city's tragic and fascinating past: a journey through the places where life and death intertwined with history, justice, and science.

We'll start at London's oldest hospital, where you'll learn about the lurid history of the Barber Surgeons and the origins of medieval medicine, as well as the infamous grave robberies that provided bodies for anatomical study.

You will walk through ancient cemeteries and septic tanks, along the same paths that condemned prisoners took on their way to execution.

At Smithfield Market, the scene of public punishments and rebellions, you'll discover how the plagues shaped the city and its people.

You'll also learn the true story of William Wallace, beyond the myth, with the stark details of his triple execution and what it meant to stand up to the King's power.

This tour doesn't aim to provoke fear, but rather curiosity and wonder: it's an invitation to look at London through different eyes and understand the true weight of its past.
