Ride a classic Routemaster through London as a ghoulish guide reveals chilling tales of murder, restless spirits, and haunted landmarks.

About this tour

Step aboard a classic Routemaster and uncover the darker side of the capital on a London Ghost Bus Tour. A ghoulishly entertaining guide brings the city’s gruesome past to life with stories of murder, execution, torture, and restless spirits.

During this one-hour ride, see famous landmarks including St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London from the comfort of the double-decker bus. The route also reveals lesser-known places with chilling histories, including Cross Bones Graveyard. Along the way, your guide shares eerie tales that cast familiar London sights in a new light.

The London Ghost Bus Tour departs from outside the Grand Hotel, within walking distance of Embankment and Charing Cross stations. Arrive 20 minutes early, as late passengers cannot join once the show has started. Book your seat and experience London after dark through its most unsettling stories.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.27 from 1,187 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 3.4.
