Haunted Parks and Palaces Walk


Monday 28 October 2013
6.30pm
£5 Book online (50p admin fee per ticket)
Meet your walk guide, Scott, at the Queens Walk gate, by Green Park tube station, Piccadilly. 
Ghost Lucy by Sarah Sparks
This will be a dark trek past ghost-ridden palaces, haunted trees, headless phantoms and plague legends of Green Park and St James Park. Gaze upon St James Palace, Clarence House and Buckingham Palace while hearing of their ghosts. Linger not near the cursed trees, hear of the staked body buried at the cross-roads, the witch that lived where Buckingham Palace is now and do not blink while gazing upon the statue that is said to move.

This Halloween walk is through Green Park and St. James Park and to the dark side of some of its most famous buildings is a 1 hour- 1 hour 15 minute tour which ends on Queen Anne Street near St James Park tube (and a pub). 

Your guide is London Fortean Society host Scott Wood. Scott is the irregular writer of Fortean London for Londonist and the author of the forthcoming London Urban Legends: The Corpse of the Tube.

And don't forget our 31 October Halloween Ghost Night in the pub.
