Private Haunted Pub Tour of London

The journey, in full

The Old Red Cow Two restless phantoms haunt this Victorian pub, built where an ancient tavern once stood. The first is the original landlord, still watching over patrons with a stern eye. The second? A mysterious red-headed gentleman who vanishes into thin air. Once a favourite of market workers, this independent pub keeps its chilling secrets close. The Rising Sun Beneath its cozy façade lies a sinister past—this pub served as the headquarters for Resurrectionists, grave robbers who supplied cadavers to St Bart’s Hospital. Its most infamous ghost has a reputation for unsettling encounters. Discover why showering here is forbidden, why an unseen pinch is more sinister than it seems, and the grisly truth behind local murders committed for profit. The Bishop’s Finger Smithfield Market’s bloody legacy lives on in this pub, haunted by a horned, cleaver-wielding specter—a lawyer forever hunting the butchers who once worked nearby. The tale involves spoiled meat and is best heard with a drink in hand. And if you visit the restroom, beware: one tour guide swears he heard a ghostly whisper while standing alone at the urinal. The Viaduct Tavern Widely considered the most haunted pub in the City of London, the Viaduct Tavern sits in the shadow of a notorious former jail. Its walls echo with the tormented souls of the condemned. Learn about Hanging Breakfasts, the ghost who disrupts Sunday papers, the cellar that terrifies dogs, and Fred—the playful spirit with a habit of haunting the ladies’ bathroom. The Cockpit The pub’s name harks back to its brutal past as a cockfighting arena, where birds fought to the death amid raucous betting. Today, visitors report hearing the desperate screams of a ghostly woman—a spirit forever crying out for help. Step inside, and listen closely… her voice may still linger. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Rebuilt after the Great Fire of London, this iconic pub has been serving drinks since 1538. Its shadowy corners and 13th-century cellars once hosted literary greats like Dickens, Twain, and Conan Doyle. Uncover the strange tale of Polly the Parrot, whose death made global headlines in 1926, the scandalous discovery after a 1962 fire, and the ghost whose legend inspired a haunting 17th-century ballad.
