Lantern Walks of Hidden Horror  

Frightening, gruesome and funny, this is something different . . .

. . . it is the ultimate London Ghost Walk

"fantastically entertaining ... some of us haven't laughed as much for a long time"
"more of moving performance than a tour"
"absolutely brilliant"

 

.........Hello

You are welcome to join me on a macabre walking tour of London's historic black spots. Please note that I am an experienced guide with an extensive history of leading people up dark alleyways.

Are you aware that the capital has many hidden horrors? Murder sites, burial grounds and places of execution that have been covered up, over the years. I shall be prising up the paving slabs of time and unearthing the sinister stories of the city's dark past in a peculiar promenade.

There are different tours covering London's most gruesome areas. So come along, if you're into that sort of thing ... or are just a weirdo with some spare time.

I invite your friendship via facebook ... I get very lonely. From my large collection of images I've posted a few photos of my Hallowe'en tour. On facebook there is also a Do Me ... London group, which you are welcome to join. There you will find people ... like you.

As for meeting points, I'll be easy to find because I shall be dressed. And also clutching a hurricane lantern.

Fred Strangebone


Tours open to everybody - Welcome!

Some people call them Ghost Walks, some people call them Jack the Ripper walks. We call them Lantern Walks of Hidden Horror because your guide will have ... a lantern. Whatever the name, we'd love you to see you - please come along. Just click on the links below to book your place in advance at the special online rate of only £6.50. You can turn up on the night without booking but if the walk might be full, which will be embarrassing. And if it's not full you'll end up on the usual rate of £8. And if we have to get hold of you to say it's cancelled or something, then we won't be able to, and you'll be standing around wondering what's happening. Better just to book in advance, eh? Even if it's just on the day.


"A very enjoyable way to spend an evening ... Fred’s background in acting and stand-up comedy transforms the walk into more of a moving performance than a tour." - spoonfed


Places are limited. If you have any questions please send us an email. Each tour lasts about 90 minutes and fancy dress is encouraged. If it rains, we still go.

Money back guarantee! We guarantee that you enjoy the walk. If you don't, we'll give you your money back. That means you have no risk, so go ahead and book.

What our customers say about us

"I just wanted to say, on behalf of the TV Licensing department at the BBC, a really big thank you to you for organising the walk, and to FRED for such a fantastically entertaining walk! We all thought he was absolutely brilliant - and some of us haven't laughed as much for a long time. It was just what we all needed and provided a good break and some light relief from a particularly hard period of work. Everybody thought it was very enjoyable and entertaining and we'd have no issues with recommending him to other people.

Thanks very much again and please thank 'Fred' too.

Best wishes
Louise"
