Overview

Most London 'Horror' or 'Serial Killers' tours focus on Jack the Ripper, but on this 2-hour tour I talk about TEN London-connected Serial Killers, INCLUDING Jack The Ripper.

Do you want to learn about a single Serial Killer, or would you rather hear about TEN horrifying Serial Killers?

As of 8.11.26 this long-running tour has 662 5-star reviews on City Sky Diving/ City Sky Diving.

I've researched Serial Killers for over 30 years & I wrote 'Bloody London', which has sold 10,000 copies, & has 148 5-star reviews on Amazon.

I know what I am talking about but I am not a 'dry fact declarer' - I tell true crime stories about real life serial killers & I make it immersive so it feels like you are there.

ONLY people aged 12 and over can attend this tour, due to the chilling & disturbing nature of the material.

Women readers - 70% of the attendees are woman; as one of them said: 'Your tour is like a self-defence class for women'.

See you on the tour!

Printer Street

A ‘lighter’ moment on the Tour…Declan wants your vote on the scariest horror movies of all time.Declan reveals the 'Top Ten' votes from 23 years of the Tour, including a film in the 'Top Ten' that most of you simply do not know.Even more intriguingly, the film has been recommended by 2,000 men, but not one single woman!Also Declan's personal recommendation: a total cult classic horror film, 60 years old, that practically none of you will have seen. And it's free to watch on YouTube.

(He has an entire chapter in my 'Bloody London' book.Let's see how good you are at profiling...Also In this Jack the Ripper section of the tour is the toughest question of the entire tour. Get this particular question right and you are on the 'Roll of Honour' of 'The Blood and Tears Walk'.Only one person out of every 500 people who attends the Tour can get this question right!

St. Dunstan In The West

The narrow, dingy, isolated alley we enter here may just be the creepiest place you have been to in your entire life. And I am not kidding...We conduct a psychic experiment here - it's a murder scene - and you hear about a pair of devious serial killers who operated around here.If you are psychic, you will NOT like this place. I have had tough men be shaken by the atmosphere in here, especially in the dark months.Warning: This is NOT a nice place. And you will feel it.

He came on my Tour!After this final story, Declan will sell copies of his best-selling book 'Bloody London' for £10 cash or Paypal.Declan signs each book with a personal message.

  • Service animals allowed

  • Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
  • I would seriously consider choosing a different Tour if you have mobility/significant health issues. It’s a fairly brisk pace – it has to be to cover 10 serial killers in two hours - and we cover 2 miles (3.2 km). And in Summer it can be hot all through the two hours. Truthfully (and quite apart from the subject matter), this Tour will not be suitable for everyone because of the distance and the reasonably fast pace. This Tour is also not recommended for people in their 70s because, as I said, it's quite fast-paced and we cover about 2 miles =3.2 kms.
