Westminster Abbey. The Houses of Parliament. 'Big Ben'. Westminster is a common stop on London's tourist trail. But it also has a dark side...

Join us with our tour guide Trevor Bond for a three hour tour including stops at five unique pubs - including one on the site of an early police station, and another which commemorates England's most famous fictional detective.

Hear about the premonition preceding the assassination of a politician, how a son brutally avenged his father's execution, and a dismembered torso discovered at the headquarters of London's late Victorian police force.

Then make your way towards the heart of 'theatreland', and learn about how a production was halted by the infamous 'Jack the Ripper' murders, how a grudge led to the murder of an actor, and the unsavoury history of Covent Garden.

That's not to mention a shocking discovery at a railway station, or the horrible trade of the 'resurrectionists'.

Tickets cost £15 - drinks not included. The tour starts at Westminster station (Exit 5) and ends close to Covent Garden station, in sight of 'London's most haunted theatre'.
