Quirky, Unusual & Scary Things To Do In London This Halloween

This Halloween; forget about ghosts, ghouls and goblins, they don’t exist, they never have and they never will. It's all a big con created by toy companies to convince you to part with your hard earned cash by buying a big old bunch of badly-made mass produced plastic crap, which you'll bin after just one day. Face it! Ghost stories nothing more than badly written drivel, full of witches which are weak, spooks which are stupid, and (let's be honest) even Freddie Krueger's starting to look like nothing more than Edward Scissorhand's seedy uncle.

But, this Halloween, if you're hungry for something truly horrifying...?​

...if your tummy twists in trepidation for tales of terror, if you wantonly drool over the delicious details of a grisly death, or simply slaver for the shocks which send those icy chills down your spine, a shiver of goose-bumps crawling across your skin, freeze your fingers with fear, as well as squirting a warm patch of piddle into your pants, then nothing will scare you more than the grisly truth about the blood-splattered streets you walk on… every single day.

Because death – my dear friend - lies right under your feet. And no matter where you live, work or play, on every street you’ve ever strode there was once a murder, in every house you’ve called home a maniac once roamed, and at every place you’ve ever played a predator once preyed, so no matter where you are, in every city, on every street, every night is Halloween.

Murder Mile Walks is a fiendishly entertaining guided walk of Soho’s most notorious murder cases. Over barely 1 mile, Murder Mile Walks packs in a whopping 12 murderers (inc’ 4 serial killers), across 15 real locations, totalling 75 mysterious deaths, in just 2 hours, with – rightfully - five star reviews. Even those weak Jack the Ripper walks can't compete with this.

​Murder Mile Walks is a marvellously intensive “murder experience” – so neatly researched, written and performed – that it takes you on a truly terrifying tour of the mind of a killer, as you walk in the blood-soaked final footsteps of their victim’s last few moments alive.

Gasp at the ghastly going’s-on of Britain’s most notorious serial killer, a mass murderer so mild-mannered and unassuming that – even today – no-one knows how many men he murdered. Swoon at the shocking truth of Soho’s very own “Ripper”, a maniac so depraved he makes Jack the Ripper look like a sissy. Help solve an 80 year old multiple murder. And top it all off with a pint in a serial killer’s favourite pub (where he lured many of his inebriated victims to their deaths).

Murder Mile Walks is perfect for adults, teenagers, groups, couples, singles and – especially - parents looking to escape their kids. Hailed as a “truly curious treat”, Murder Mile Walks is a wonderfully quirky thing to do on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries and hen-dos, with “gift vouchers” available for Christmas.

Murder Mile Walks takes place weekly, with private tours available (at any day/time) on demand, and – as an exclusive offer for eagle-eyed readers only – simply type MULLEDW1NE into the voucher code space on www.murdermiletours.com (or by clicking the red BOOK NOW widget) and get 30% off all tickets.

Thank you… and sleep well
