In late fall and winter, when a chill is in the London<\/a> air and night falls early, it\u2019s the perfect time to take a ghost walk through the streets of this very old, historical\u2014and, some say, haunted\u2014city. <\/strong>An\u00a0accommodation in London<\/a> can put you close to some of the most popular tours in town\u2026and provide a bright, safe, cozy place for you to come home too!<\/p>\n

A favorite ghost walk with visitors takes place near Bank underground station and passes by the site of Scrooge\u2019s office in \u201cA Christmas Carol\u201d<\/a> before winding its way down an allegedly cursed cobblestone street, through ancient courtyards and silent churchyards, to a well-known City<\/a> landmark that is gaining a reputation for recent ghostly activity, and an historic building where tour members have seen an old woman waving to them from the upper windows of an empty room.<\/p>\n

If the thought of any of that sends shivers down your spine, you\u2019ll definitely want to book a spot on the famous Jack the Ripper walks in nearby Aldgate as well. These outings will take you to an 1888 building where an infamous suspect worked as a barber, into an alley where the first possible victim was found, and to the Princess Alice Pub, which shares a connection to Leather Apron, another main figure of interest for the police.<\/p>\n

During these walks, you\u2019ll soak up the atmospheric streets and sights of old London and be introduced to local, legendary public houses and restaurants\u2014where you may want to return for a well-earned pint.<\/strong> You will also be entertained by the narratives and chilling anecdotes of the tour guides, seasoned storytellers whose words make the area\u2019s rich past come to life around you.<\/p>\n

London Accommodation: 2 bedroom in City Islington (LN-370)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

At around only \u00a38 per person, a ghost walk is one of the most affordable ways to see the city, learn a bit of its history, and be treated to some theatre-worthy tales. Rather than spending a lot of money on tickets to a crowded West End<\/a> play, take a ghost walk, where the streets are the stage, the spectacles surround you and the main action takes place in your imagination\u2026and possibly in the upstairs window of a dimly lit pub you just passed by!<\/strong><\/p>\n
