About this tour
London’s pubs hold more than centuries of stories: some are said to shelter spirits alongside their regulars. On this 150-minute London Haunted Pub Tour, follow a guide through a shadowy side of the city, where riots, rebellions, murders, executions, and plots have left a lasting mark. The route begins outside Barbican Station and visits distinctive pubs, each with its own history and ghostly lore, while stories also bring the landmarks between stops to life.
There’s time to soak up the character of London’s pub scene and, if you wish, buy a drink at each stop. Drinks are not included, and the tour allows 30 minutes for walking between locations. The evening ends at a historic pub, rounding out a journey through the city’s darker past. Guiding fees and taxes are included; snacks and gratuities are not.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.88 from 8 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 7.2. Top 42% in London means it ranks in the top 42% of tours in London by this score.
