The London Ghost Bus
The London Ghost Bus is a London tour unlike any other. The ‘Orrible Omnibus’ will take you on a blood curdling tour around the less savoury parts of the city, where the dark and sinister past still haunts the streets and people are careful who they speak to for fear they disappear before their very [...]
The Museum of London’s Docklands
The Museum of London’s Docklands is the product of an amalgamation of two earlier museums, the London Museum that was founded in 1912 and the Guildhall that dates back to 1826.

Sightseeing tours in any of the country’s major cities are ten-a-penny.

A ‘Duck Tour’ encompasses the city streets and the River [...]
The Cartoon Museum
The quirky Cartoon Museum opened in London in 2006. Packed with British comic strips and cartoons it features a little bit of everything, including some incredible caricatures from the 18th century right up to modern publications like the Beano and the Dandy. You may have walked past it on your way to the British Museum [...]

For three years in a row the London Bridge Experience has been voted the ‘Best Year Round Scare Attraction’ in the UK. If you are looking to break up your sightseeing of the city with some gruesome fun, this is where you need to be. Be warned though, there are age restrictions for entry. The [...]
The Old Operating Museum and Herb Garret
High in the roof space of an old English Church there is an old English operating theatre. This is not here for novelty value, nor has it been placed there for publicity purposes. It is what it is, an operating theatre. It can be found in the church of St Thomas in the borough of [...]
