We believe in supporting our local communities and are committed to giving a voice to self-employed guides who have chosen London as their home. By ensuring that every native English speaking guide represents our unique style of mixing history and story-telling while maintaining their own personality and flair, we’ve become one of the most popular tour companies in the world. Helping superb independent guides connect with thousands of travelers a day, we provide these local freelancers the possibility to inform and entertain you, and they employ us to spread the news about this great concept.
The answer is simple: because the informed, entertaining, and unforgettable guides on our Free Tours work on a tips-only basis, the highest quality is guaranteed! They’ll never pressure you to tip – even though the guides receive no compensation from our host cities for the free tours they provide. We believe that if money is given, it should be voluntary and in direct proportion to the quality of the tour and the budget of the traveler. Even though our guides appreciate tips, your applause means so much more, and we’re happy to welcome you as our guest!

GRIM REAPERS OF LONDON TOUR
£9 adults
£8 students
EVERY DAY AT 6 PM
Our tour begins in the 1400’s – a time long before an official police force patrolled the shadowed alleys in the city’s infamous “East End”. London was a city where the tyrants ruled and the weak were swallowed by Death’s gaping maw. This walk through the city’s gloom takes us through the site of gruesome executions, poverty, overcrowding, disease and criminality.
As we retrace the trail of the notorious Jack the Ripper murders, we get a taste for a new breed of soul harvester born of the Victorian age, the world’s first psychiatric hospital, plague pits, the Bloody Tower and Traitor’s Gate and several notoriously haunted areas of the East End. Discover how traitors and criminals were punished, why the Ripper was never caught and what life was really like for people living in the East End. In a city so full of light and beauty, this walk will show us the darkness waiting behind every corner.
On this 2.5 hour tour, we cover all the main sites and stories including:
• Jack the Ripper (victims, suspects and killing methods)
• The murky side of Victorian London
• The East End
• Crime and Punishment in Olde England
• Former Execution sites
• Subterranean London
• St Katherine’s Docks
• Spitalfields Market
• London’s most haunted building – The Tower of London
• The Plague
• Ghosts of ancient London
• Brick Lane
• The world’s first, and most notorious psychiatric hospital;
• Prostitutes Church
...and much more!
The Grim Reapers of London Tour runs everyday at 6pm by the sundial directly opposite the exit of Tower Hill Underground Station.
