7. Stop 7 · 10m

   Watch out for She-Wolf Isabella or she will have your heart.... literally!

8. Stop 8 · 5m

9. Stop 9 · 5m

   Learn about the most famous Mayor in the history of London... well until Boris perhaps.

10. Stop 10 · 10m

    This is the home of one of the friendlier ghosts, poor little Jimmy Garlic who died back in 1765 and despite his remains being blown to bits in The Blitz, is known to befriend visiting children to the church.

11. Stop 11 · 5m

    In the atmospheric old alleyway outside this pub was the scene of an attack on police by an invisible force!

14. Stop 14 · 5m

    In the alleys around this old church we'll hear about a particularly distraught ghost. Incidentally, can you guess what item of household furniture takes its name from here? It's not an armchair!

15. Stop 15 · 5m

    The Cockpit pub is home to a female ghost with money problems and a husband with terrible anger management issues.

16. Stop 16 · 5m

    Alas, all that remains of this church that was destroyed both in The Great Fire of London and The Blitz is the old churchyard which is now a small public garden. You might not want to chillax here for too long though!
