This autumn, step into the shadows of Greenwich and experience the Queen’s House like never before.
Uncover the building's unexpected secrets, chart its macabre history through paintings – and find out about ghostly encounters – on a dark history tour led by a storyteller.
Your chilling adventure will take you deep into the chambers and other areas where strange sounds have been heard, blood may have been shed and unexplained figures spotted. Along the way, your guide will share eerie sightings and tales connected to the building's past and Royal Museums Greenwich's collections.
As night descends, you will gain exclusive access to the hauntingly beautiful Loggia balcony, normally closed to the public. A word of warning: while you enjoy a drink overlooking Greenwich Park, keep your senses sharp. You never know who, or what, might join you.
Haunted tours are suitable for those aged 18+. Tours contain material relating to violence, torture, blood, death and suicide.
