London Ghost Bus Tours: Hop on board to discover the city and get your fear fix

The London Ghost Bus Tours have been running in the capital for the past seven years.

From Monday to Sunday, you can find a black and gold 1960’s era Routemaster bus parked in Trafalgar Square (or Trafalgar Scare, if you prefer). Jump on board to find a comedy horror show taking place while you are driven around London’s main tourist attractions.

“It’s a theatrical sightseeing tour. It’s a comedy horror show while you see the sights”, explained Peter Davis, creative director of The Ghost Bus Tours.

“We also tell about the haunted bus itself, which has some surprises and secrets of its own."

Like in any other tourist bus tour, the guide - which on this occasion also happens to be an actor - gives background information about the monuments.

Although, on this tour, one will also learn about London’s past executions, paranormal activity and torture, while watching a live comedy played by the conductor and a suspicious health and safety inspector.

“London is perfect for this tour because there have been a lot of deaths over the years. There has been 2,000 years of people murdering each other and there are many ghosts as well”, Mr Davis said.

The Ghost Bus tours depart from Trafalgar Square and last approximately one hour. They run twice a day, from Monday to Sunday. Tickets cost £21, with discounts for children and students.
