• Old Red Cow - This pub is said to be haunted by two spirits. One is the former landlord who still keeps a watchful eye on patrons. The other is a red-haired gentleman who vanishes without a trace.

An ancient tavern once stood here, and the current pub was constructed during the Victorian era. Today, it is one of the few independent pubs in central London and was once a favorite spot for nearby market workers.

• Rising Sun - Located on one of London’s oldest streets, the Rising Sun was once the headquarters for the Resurrectionists, who exhumed bodies to sell to medics at nearby St Bart’s Hospital. This pub is haunted by one of London’s most eerie and controversial ghosts.

Discover why showering here is discouraged, why a pinch on the bottom is misleading, and learn about the gruesome money-making murders that occurred nearby.

• Bishops Finger - At the Bishop’s Finger, hear about the spirit of Smithfield Market, a lawyer who wields a meat cleaver, dons horns, and seeks the homes of butchers who once lived near the market. This tale involves spoiled meat, but the full story will be revealed once you’re settled with a drink.

Before leaving, visit the restroom and hear about a guide who, while alone at a urinal, heard a ghostly whisper that sent chills through him.

• The Viaduct Tavern - Known as the most haunted pub in the City of London, the Viaduct Tavern is near one of Britain’s most infamous jails and is said to be filled with the souls of those condemned nearby.

As you enjoy your drink, your guide will share the grim history of Hanging Breakfasts, why reading a Sunday Paper in peace is impossible, why dogs are uneasy in the cellar, and who the mischievous ghost Fred is and his antics in the ladies’ restroom.

• The Cockpit - Named after the brutal sport of cockfighting, entering this pub is like stepping into the arena where birds once fought to the death as spectators placed bets.

Listen closely, and you might hear a woman screaming—the ghost haunting this establishment is calling for help.

• Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese - The final stop on the tour, this is one of London’s oldest and most beloved pubs. Londoners have been frequenting this historic pub since 1538. The original building was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was rebuilt shortly after.

Admire the wood-paneled interior and cellars dating back to the 13th century. It was a favorite drinking spot for Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes.

While enjoying a drink, learn about Polly the Parrot, whose death made headlines worldwide in 1926, and discover how a fire in 1962 led to a surprising, x-rated find from the 18th century. Finally, hear how the ghost haunting this pub inspired a 17th-century ballad.
