A new self-guided walking tour from Ghastly Guides is lifting the lid on the City of London’s grisly past in A Ghastly Guide of London – The Case of the Rat-Catcher’s Cat. Part historical tour, part ghost walk, part detective mystery — this immersive experience is based entirely on London’s own dark and deadly history.

This is no ordinary walk through the city. With just your Ghastly Guide booklet and a pen, you’ll explore the shadowy streets between Tower Hill and St Paul’s Cathedral, piecing together clues to crack a fictional case rooted in real events.

As you follow the 3.5km trail, you’ll encounter tales of plague, public executions, devils, and ghosts that still haunt the old alleyways. Each stop reveals another chapter in London’s sinister story.

At every location, you’ll answer multiple-choice questions by uncovering clues hidden on nearby plaques, buildings, and landmarks. Get the answer right, and you’ll eliminate a suspect — bringing you closer to solving The Case of the Rat-Catcher’s Cat.
