A low mist hangs over cobbled lanes as you step off a Tube platform and into London’s older bones—stone, brick, and the pulse of centuries. This Haunted Pub Tour threads through the City and Fleet Street, moving from Victorian taprooms into timbered cellars where drinkers still hear stories the walls keep. Guides don a practiced calm as they point out scuffed beams, shadowed staircases, and the faint echo of past lives.
