With its long and underplayed bloody history, London provides some of the best atmosphere for those who like to seek out the macabre, scary and downright chilling experiences. Visitors are drawn to the historical centers that feature the darker history and bloody past of our old city. We like to be scared a little bit it seems, as long as we perceive that we are actually safe.
There are several perfect attractions for those who are attracted to the dark side and enjoy an extra thrill here and there. The best of those must be the London Dungeon. Inside its haunted walls you’ll learn about a thousand years of blood curdling history, and the scariest part is that it’s all true.
Speaking of thrills and chills that are true to life, thousands of visitors are drawn each year to Ripley’s Believe it or Not London. This eclectic museum is home to the weird and wonderful, and most importantly true stories. There are artifacts such as shrunken heads, two headed calves, and much more.
Another locale that just might chill the bones right out from under you is the Pasaje Del Terror. It draws the brave and curious alike, and boasts an intense interactive scare experience that will leave you shaking for hours after you depart. You can also walk in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper on the extremely popular walking tours. You will retrace the steps of the murderer and his victims and if you aren’t careful, might bump into the ghosts of one or the other.
With a city so jam packed of the dark and macabre, it is simply imperative that you take your time to take in all of the attractions. This cannot be done in a single weekend, so one simply must look into one of the short term rentals London has to offer. For those who rent holiday apartment London might just open up its dark heart and share some spooky secrets with you and only you.
