This was more for tourists, guide was very informative about history and landmarks but the ghost part was an after thought., our guide addef bits at the end of her spiel. I have been on other ghost walks that were more imaginative. When we mentioned that we both like the supernatural the guide was surprised not sure she had been put on the correct walk.
Hi Sarace, thanks for your review. It's great to hear you found the tour to be informative with some great history . Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the ghost stories , Happy Haunting!
I went on this tour as part of my 50th birthday celebrations in London, hoping for ghostly tales of London Bridge. I was so disappointed to hear one ghost story in the 90 minute tour. The historical information was interesting but not what I signed up for. Lantern Tours, please review the content of the tour, and provide contact details so I can request a refund.

The guide we had was very pleasant but it was a pretty flat delivery of information from her, except for when we were outside the globe and she did a very animated speech from Othello. It felt more of a historical than a spooky tour. It was ok but not anywhere near as good as other ghost tours we have done in London.
This was a last minute booking for us, but my friend and myself enjoyed it. I wouldn't call it a ghost walk as such but more of a history walk, yes a few ghosts were spoken about, but not as much as we thought when we booked it. We learnt lots of history information that we have not heard before. We would recommend doing it.
London has many dark secrets and this tour takes you back to the origins of London and how life used to be over 1000 yrs ago all the way upto recent times of 180 years ago. In the area of London bridge led around back streets and along the river and get a real feeling for how life was. We learnt alot and rewalked some of the tour in daylight the next day, paying our respects at the Cross Bones Graveyard where 15000 bodies are played to rest...thx Nick our Aussie guide.
Wonderful tour! Our guide, Simon, was both entertaining and informative. The balance of history and dark/haunted stories was just right, making for a really fun evening. I highly recommend this tour- especially if you request Simon as your guide!
Thanks Eric, we are glad you enjoyed our tour. We hope to see you again in our other tours.
Quite recently, I went on the Paranormal Activity Tour in Old London and it was brilliant. But I decided to try out the London Bridge Ghost Tour and see how that one was. As much as I hate saying this from a "paranormal enthusiasts" point of view. It is slightly weaker that the previous two. The tour guide was the same person who I came across on the Paranormal Activity Tour in Old London tour, I was so happy to see her again. It was Stephanie. This tour is not so much focused on the paranormal, but more so on the history of that area of London. So if your looking to hear about the ghost stories in that part of London. I hate to burst your bubble here, your out of luck. Stephanie does know her history about that area of London and that some of the paranormal activity was focused on London Bridge, Borough Market and The Clink Prison Museum. I did mention to Stephanie and the group, that I went inside the Clink Prison Museum years ago and I told them that it is a toned down version of The London Dungeon, but it's not as good. I wouldn't say this tour was a bad one. Just don't expect too much out of this one, if your interested in paranormal tours around London, my advise is to stick to the Haunted London Pub Walking Tour and the Paranormal Activity Tour in Old London by this company. But if your interested in the history of that part of London and less on the paranormal then the London Bridge Ghost Walking Tour is the one for you. This particular tour also had a sad ending because it focused on the history of the Crossbones Graveyard and the people buried there. (It wouldn't surprise if that graveyard is haunted)
