This award-winning Horror London walk by qualified researcher and former professional actor Declan McHugh is now in its seventh year. The walk took years of research and covers sites connected with London's dark past including places associated with grave robbers, serial killers (including Jack the Ripper), secret tunnels, witchcraft and conspiracy.

The Blood & Tears Walk has received absolutely stunning reviews from thousands of visitors from every part of the globe as well as from school parties and corporate firms. For the second year running it has been awarded "One of London's 10 Best walks" status by 10Best.com, an independent organisation which reviews attractions across the world and picks the best ten or less in any category.

The walk takes place eight times a week - details are on the booking form.

The walk takes around 1h45 and starts from outside the only exit at Barbican underground station, which is two stops away from Kings Cross station on the Circle, Metropolitan, Hammersmith & City lines, and finishes conveniently at Holborn underground station.

Your tour guide, Declan McHugh, meets you at street level outside the only exit at Barbican underground station. You will recognise him by The Walk sign and the leaflets he will be holding. 

VERY IMPORTANT TRAVEL ADVICE
It is extremely important that you allow sufficient time for your journey to arrive in good time for the walk. Tip: Count the underground stops between your starting point and Barbican then allow 4 minutes per stop plus 20 minutes. Declan can only wait a few minutes for latecomers so as not to inconvenience those who arrived at the correct time. If you arrive early there is a snackbar next to the station.

OTHER ADVICE
Dress warmly and bring an umbrella in spring, autumn and definitely winter! Many people who are either not used to London weather, or who are extreme optimists, end up either not bringing an umbrella (and wishing they had) or wearing unsuitable clothing which means they end up feeling cold - particularly if they come on any of the night walks on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights.
