London Medieval Audio Tour: Legends, Ghosts and Fire, 39 min

Hear medieval London’s legends, ghost stories, and tales of fire on a self-guided audio journey through the city. Starting on Tower Bridge, follow the story of Boudica and her revolt against Roman invaders in 60 AD, then take in the bridge’s neo-Gothic Victorian design, completed in 1894.

Continue to the Tower of London, built by William the Conqueror in 1078. As you explore the area at your own pace, narration and sound effects bring its history to life, from the fortress’s medieval past to stories of tortured souls and paranormal activity. The route then leads to St. Dunstan’s Hill, where you’ll hear about the Great Fire of London. The 39-minute audio tour includes chapters for offline use, maps, and tips to help you explore.

This is a London Medieval Audio Tour, not a guided visit: no guide will meet you, and admission tickets are not provided. Bring your own smartphone and headphones, find your starting point on Tower Bridge, and set off when you’re ready to uncover London’s darker history.
