Overview of your London tour:

Everyone enjoys a juicy scandal, and the City of London has seen it all - from medieval murders to fake seances, the "walk of shame" and some very dodgy doctors. Join me on this walking tour to discover the stories that have rocked the Square Mile over the centuries. We'll wander down hidden alleyways to discover dastardly doings from days gone by, and stop by some of the City's most iconic sights to discover the dark history behind them. A writer by profession, I live right here in London's oldest neighbourhood. I'd be delighted to take you off the beaten track and share some of my favourite stories and secret local spots while you are in the city.

Your London tour itinerary

We'll meet at Moorgate station, an area that hides a scandalous past. Our route will include: - The church of St Mary le Bow (outside), where a notorious murder took place - The Old Bailey (outside) - site of London's most famous prison (outside) - The scene of a scandalous fake seance - Guildhall Yard (outside) - the haunted heart of the City (outside) - Fleet Street - the so-called "street of shame" We'll end in Smithfield, the scene of many a grisly execution. There will be plenty of time to take photos and we'll stop for refreshments around halfway through - coffee, a snack, or perhaps even a pint at one of the City's notorious drinking dens. The itinerary can be customised on request.
