Overview

Experience London’s wicked history and see famous sights on this spellbindingly unique walking tour, led by a bewitching guide!

Join your characterful witch guide to hear the true tales of accused London witches across the ages and the great injustices that befell them. Nicholas Culpepper; "people’s herbalist" or bad boy herb doctor? Did Margery Jourdemayne deserve her terrible fate? And who was the last "real" witch”?

Witness fascinating pieces of London history along the way too; secrets of Southwark Cathedral, The Golden Hinde, The Globe Theatre, Millennium Bridge and so very much more await on this character led walking tour.

In an experience that brings together true stories, history, and a wisdom that we can learn from our terrible ways of the past, you are sure to fall in love with this historic part of the city and be enthralled by London’s witchy chronicles. You may even see some famous filming locations from Harry Potter along the way!
