The Barbican will host a community tour exploring local theories and stories starting at 18:00 on 27 August 2026. Admission is priced at £15.00 for this event about the city's historical characters.
Like any city, London has a dark side. Venture off the beaten track and discover the true characters, stories and theories of our past.
Starts: From outside Barbican tube station. Tour duration: 2 hours.
Finishes: Outside Holborn tube station.
Over 18s only, due to the gruesome nature of the tour.
This highly engaging , expert guided tour is not for the faint hearted. Respected history writer and tour guide, Declan McHugh, walks you in the footsteps of some of London's most disturbed serial killers. You'll visit various sites, hear tales of despicable crimes, explore theories about motives and delve into the mysteries of unsolved murders.
Hear the sad story of an uncaught serial killer who first murdered a 6 year-old girl, then 7 years later murdered a 7-year-old girl inside Barbican Station! Your Guide, Declan, discusses the similarities between the cases and profiles the Killer.
Hear a dramatic account of a little known Victorian transatlantic serial killer who lived around here. This true-life story, with a number of twists, would be perfect for a Movie, and yet the Movie has never been made. The story ends with a question, based on what you have just heard, a question which very, very few people can get right...
Indulge your morbid curiosity and thirst for bloody knowledge with this and much, much more.
