Royal Maritime Greenwich Ghost Walking Tour

Royal Maritime Greenwich Ghost Walking Tour

Explore the darker side of east London on this 1.5-hour Royal Maritime Greenwich ghost walking tour. Follow a guide through Greenwich’s UNESCO–listed streets and hear terrifying tales from beyond the grave. Take in top attractions including the 19th-century Cutty Sark — a sailing ship with a lot of hidden secrets — the Greenwich foot tunnel, and Greenwich Park — where the spirits of English royalty are said to roam. Visit the 19th-century Trafalgar Tavern, once one of Charles Dickens’ favorite drinking dens, and gain insight into Greenwich’s dim and distant past.

Start your tour in Greenwich — near the bank of the famous Thames River — as darkness falls, then step through the UNESCO World Heritage–listed streets as your guide shares hair-raising stories of restless spirits and scary specters.

Learn the curse of the 19th-century tea clipper Cutty Sark — the historic sailing ship in dry-dock in Royal Maritime Greenwich — and hear of the poor, unfortunate souls who lost their lives sailing to China and Australia in years gone by.

Illuminated by the street lights, delve into Greenwich Park — widely considered the grandest of London’s Royal Parks — and hear chilling tales of the many kings and queens whose spirits are said to walk the grounds.

Follow your guide along the Greenwich foot tunnel and hold your nerve in case of visitations from beyond the grave! Visit the 19th-centruy Trafalgar Tavern — a local inn once frequented by Charles Dickens — and perhaps enjoy a refreshing pint of English beer (own expense). Then, finish your ghostly walking tour in central Greenwich.
