Description

Gambol through some of the capital's finest haunted spaces in a walk that will take you through parks, famed shopping districts and dark alleyways, right into the beating (dead) heart of its cultural landmarks. Go through the most distinctive parts of London featuring an array of hauntings that includes Michael Faraday, founder of electromagnetism, the Death Tree in Green Park, and some disturbing poltergeist activity in the most haunted building in London. The walk begins at the Green Park, one of the most marvellous royal parks in London. Cross busy Piccadilly street before arriving in lovely Berkeley Square. Travel along New Bond street, filled with luxurious stores, before arrival at tranquil Albemarle Street to hear about its hauntings. Go back along Piccadilly and pause by Fortnum and Mason, where journalist Nancy Spain had a strange ghost encounter. Be surprised by a 16th century haunted palace and walk through spooky St James Park. The last section of the walk gives an overview of the historical, cultural and political centre of London, lined with the most important landmarks and darkest stories.
