Anyone will tell you: London is a magical city, with its rich history of royal extravaganza, its ghosts stories.... and its actual links to magic: black and white magic are present in many places in London: from the world-famous tales of Harry Potter and his dealings with You-Know-Who in the streets of the capital itself, to the historical performances of well-known names such as Houdini and his spiritual father Robert-Houdin.

There are ghosts galore in a city that stretches back millennia. Wherever you are in London you won't be far away from tales of the paranormal. There's the Bank of England's ghost Sarah Whithead who wanders Threadneedle Street looking for her long lost brother, and the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, which is reportedly the world's most haunted theatre. There are a million little secrets to explore on the narrow alleyways and hidden corners of this ever-surprising city.
