London Haunted Cemetary Tours

Country forums / UK & Ireland / England

Hello. We're going to London in a week. We are looking for a haunted cemetary tour. I can't seem to find any online. When we were in Edinburgh a few years ago, we did 2 separate ones. The first was cheesy and very theatrical. We stood on the edge of a cemetary while they told us stories at 8 pm. Not scary at all, even after a few scotches. The next tour, we started at 11pm, walked all through a cemetary, while listening to ghost stories, then they took us inside a cemetary masoleum, (not sure if I spelled that right). Now that was creepy!!! Anyways, I am looking to take a creepy and scary cemetary tour. Does anyone have any tours they recommend. In Edinburgh, we found the tours advertised on the streets, and where to meet. Will they have this in England? Any info is appreciated. Oh, what about underground vaults/closes/streets like Edinburgh has?? Thanks, Lori

Kensal Green is good LINK

Highgate just up the road from where I live is another LINK. This one is (in)famous for the fights over control by various concerned people (or control freaks)

Both do day tours.

After a few scotches you should feel less afraid not more. In the words of Rabbie:

Inspiring bold John Barleycorn!
What dangers thou canst make us scorn!
Wi' tippenny, we fear nae evil;
Wi' usquabae, we'll face the devil!

And Bun (bone) Hill Fields

Enjoy Rory

Kensal Green has a catacomb tour

Highgate is well worth a day tour. It is very overgrown and such, giving it a sort of creepy yet lovely feeling.

Ty for the link to Kesnal.

I'm gonna go Google usquabae.

Rabbie is Robbie or Robert Burns a (the) Scottish Poet.

usquabae is Scots Gallic for whisky.

The quote is form Tam o'Shanter (Thomas Graham) who went out for a night's drinking and came across a witches sabbot on the moors on his way home.
