Jill, in many ways I'm stuck in the house like you! I know exactly what you mean about the Tour as well! It's a si.ply Wonderful.Tour, the way they've set it up. Up North, the Lovely Narrator is over there by William Wallace and then the Handsome Fella, who is on the other side with his two cents to add! I LOVE this!! Could you just imagine the Keno Twins from.Antiques Road Show, popping onto their show one day?
I agree and have seen Shivaun (sorry can’t spell her name correctly ☹️) doing Highgate cemetery’s amongst others l..don’t know how she remembers so much interesting facts of all these places, or comfy footwear! ( never heard about St Bartholomew’s working hospital almost 1,000yrs old! Had you ? 😊She is really good at this job and a joy to listen to. Hadn’t Met her friend before, but he has a lot of interesting information too! Like you, I’m disabled, so love “living and traveling “ via these fascinating channels! Do take care and keep warm Jill. Wishing you a peaceful and really Happy Christmas, and a lovely 2023! 🙋♀️😘💕🎄🥰🎅😻
I live in the states and I can't believe how much of London's history is still preserved. It's sooo nice to see. I find it hard to believe how many alleyways, corridors and side streets there are. Right among the modern buildings are bits of major historical things that a lot of people probably don't even know are there. I also love the face that London has the little blue signs to tell you what a particular place is. I have to admit I find it a bit creepy how narrow and hidden these places are. It is no wonder how Jack the Ripper got away with the murders. I am not able to afford to travel overseas and this has been such a pleasure for me to see these things. Thank you so much Sinead and friends.

You can't get any better than a haunted London tour. With so much gruesome history over the centuries, there are bound to be plenty of ghoulish tales and angry ghosts to visit. Sinead is the perfect hostess for such a wonderful tour. Thank you!
@@ToursbyFootLondon of all of Londons scary locations and and places there is one that no one can beat one place that has fear spilled into the streets WHITE CHAPLE
I love this. I'm very interested in the tours of royal palaces and other sites in London, but especially interested in the ghosts! However, every video I click on that is supposed to be about the ghosts is full of scary music and annoying camera work like a cable tv show. I can't watch. This one was great - just straightforward information and showing us around! Thanks!
The music on a certain podcast I’ve been listening to is so depressing and heavy I can barely get through the content.. don’t get me started on the pseudo-scary voice used either lol 🤦♀️
I have heard ages ago that London is the most haunted city in the world! After watching this it seems to be true. Thank you for this history amazing! Peace and love 💛
Numerous structures in UK 500+ years and still in use is amazing. Beats the hell out of the prefab monsters that are being slammed together in this 'enlightened' modern era which are often demolished in less than 100 years as 'buildings outliving their usefulness'.
Hi Sinead, thanks so much for yet another GREAT tour! Rob and Matt were also both fabulous! Wonderfully told stories and historical facts. Loved watching this one!
talking about clothing corsets are great if you are young and dont sqish your body into stupid shapes it was not designed for/but i wear bloomers because they let your areas breathe. a lot of under wear is synthetic and women get conditions that are annoying because your skin can't get air to it and is too constricted / try bloomers they are great for women in winter especially /great vid thanks x
Well done. I visited London several times years ago. I love watching your videos to see historic places that I visited and learn about the new sites that you tour. Always well produced anc narrated. Looking forward to watching more of your work. My traveling is limited now by health issues so your work is most welcomed !
Sinead, after watching your videos all this time I'm amazed on how many "Nooks & Crannies" there are in and around London. This vid has somewhat the same feel as your (Fantastic) Jack the Ripper tour. You and your team make for a great haunted watch, thanks for all the walking you do for us.
Wow, it am thrilled to pieces hearing about so much history in that area, what a history. I'm glad we are not so barbaric as in the past. Imagine the amount of energy and spirits left behind from hundreds of years. I wonder what happened to the remains of the plague victims after the subway lines were built? I was in London in 1999 only once, and never knew of these locations. I would love to go again some day. I love the accents in the UK. I am from 'Toronto, Canada'. Thank you for the lovely tour.
Just found this channel and it’s fantastic… i moved away from london years ago to cornwall and i get very homesick, i don’t think i could love any other place’s history more than london . ❤
You two are fab love your channel Sinéad I always get a warm cozy feeling looking at your videos keep up the super work 🥰☘️ your friend Rob is very handsome love an English gentleman beautiful accent 💕✨☘️
This is the only part of London I know reasonably well (i live in North Essex) and rarely have travelled to london unless ive gone to a music or sporting event. My father got cancer last Christmas, and this is the hospital I a have taken him dozens of times since then, because of the hospitals expertise in ground breaking stem cell replacement treatment that he needed. The level of care he has received has been second to none, and thankfully he is now in remission. People do moan about the NHS, but the the care my dad has received has been nothing but perfect and hastily treated. I know all these little side streets and the memorials and history of the area, spending hours wandering around waiting for my dad to have different treatments. Everything from radiotherapy, chemotherapy and then finally the harvest and replacement of his stem cells. I love this part of London, its very interesting.
It's so very different from here, in Canada. You are fortunate to have such top-notch care for your dad. I pray he recovers fully and you never have to return, unless you want to. I think it helps recovery to be in beautiful places. I hope you both have many long years together. 🙂
@@lorimiller4301 Thanx for your concern. My dad is doing as well as could be at the moment, and all the recent results have been positive so far. The cancer he has (myeloma) is currently not permanently curable, but it can be treated long term, and recent treatment and research has improved astronomically in recent years according to the doctors treating him. They said 10 or 15 years ago, the cancer he had would have been far harder to treat and put in to remission, and hopefully my father will pass away with old age before it returns. The treatment he has had has been brilliant. I will definitely be giving money to cancer research in the future, as a go to charity of choice.

My Granddad went to school in st Bartholomew's and went to church every day right there,we went lots of times to visit the place he grew up in st John's Street around the corner.
I could watch you folks foot tours all day ., I particularly enjoyed this one due to the combined subjects of the paranormal , the grisly and the historical facts surrounding them ( absolutely perfect for Halloween ) . Here in Baltimore Maryland we have our own stories of grave robbing as well as the resting place of Edgar Allen Poe in Westminster Churchyard . Keep up the great work that you all do and stay safe . Happy Halloween !! 💀🎃🦇👻 and much ❤ from Baltimore Maryland.
The fact about the barbers pole is interesting, and something I have never heard of, even though I knew barbers did double up as makeshift surgeons and even dentists.

Amazing video, you two! Incredible facts, spooky stories, atmospheric locations. What more could you want. This channel goes from strength to strength. X
talking about cloth, a sad fact is young Victorian mothers cut pieces of their clothing and stitched it onto their babies clothing to recognize their babies a bit like a pawn ticket because they had so little money if they had to put them in certain institutions /horrible times for the poor of london/thanks for vid x
Funny thing, watching this made me think of Crossbones Graveyard. Love the respect you show while in a church,,,, Still at work will finish this afternoon, Thanks Sinead for your time and work.
I've been to the Viaduct Tavern after I read about in "Walking Haunted London" written by the lovely Richard Jones( I met him at one of his ghost tours and he happily autographed the book) I took photos of the Newgate cells and one picture was riddled with orbs. It was awesome! I highly recommend everyone go there.
We also hope to show you around London when you get here, Gabrielle! You can browse our tour selection here www.freetoursbyfoot.com/london-tours/. Bookmark us :)
Worked at Barts and loved it. The lift ghost is true, for a code everyone would use the stairs. A woman who lost her baby and drowned herself in the fountain. One of the nurses I worked with saw her. There was a little boy in the children's ward who is seen running and playing. His different clothes makes him stick out. The central square was supposed to be a plague pit and supposedly you can hear screams and cries in the underground tunnels. Also you were supposedly you can smell smoke and hear screams and when maintenance was done underground ashes were found at the right level for when burning at the stakes were done. Glad to see it being modernized as it deserves. Best hospital.
Which part of the hospital is the lift in question? I have been to the hospital a lot recently, and have got to go again this Friday, and it would be interesting to have a look if it is a public part of the hospital.
It was in the the Queen Elizabeth building. Sometimes people report children playing in the lift but it's her. She was a student nurse who got told not to follow a neuro patient into the lift and did and he murdered her or that was what got told. I did hear from a few people that the lift followed them up the floors and the door would open !
Hello from Leicestershire, I’m 2 miles away from Bradgate park where lady Jane gray lived. I was skinned alive when I came off my Harley 😢 but I’ve grown it all back now 😅. I love your tours so much🥰, because I can’t walk very far because of the accident.
I love history...and the dark side is interesting to me ..I mean it is history and good to know..not many historians will tell this kind of thing .. Places like this must have some kind of hauntings .
Sinead, there is something about your storytelling ability that makes you such a natural for this ghost tour. Matt and Rob are great as well. I have been a HUGE fan of walking tours since I took my first Ripper Walk back in 1993. They are a wonderful way to connect with a location, its history and people. I hope to make it back someday to take one of these tours in real life. Until then, the tours on this site are the next best thing to being there! I was glad to hear, when you were discussing Mary I, that you brought up the fact that, compared to her father, she was hardly a brutal monarch. I don't think she got the moniker "Bloody" because of patriarchy though. I think it's because the winners get to write history and those that followed were Protestant. There is nothing surprising that they would mislabel a Catholic monarch in order to sully her name.
I've done a couple Ripper walks as well and they are always interesting. But if you're a reader like me you have to hold your tongue when the docent/tour guide says the wrong thing! They don't always know what they are talking about!
@@silverstuff182 It's difficult to have the "accurate" data with things like the history of Jack the Ripper. New theories surface all the time , there is little hard evidence and people get very involved with their personal favorite suspects. I actually enjoy hearing different ideas and talking about them with people that have different opinions. It's hard to be wrong when nobody really knows what the truth is!
New subscriber here! Absolutely loved this video was fascinating - coming from someone who's grown up around this area my entire life I knew some of these stories but some others blew my mind!
Hi. I have just come across your videos today. I would like to say thank you for taking the time to tell us and show us the history of these places. I'm fascinated and love ghost stories. Plus being shown some of London is a real treat as I live in lancaster. I visited London once I was in a children's home but even though I'd left it, they still let me go to hide park with them. When we got of the train (I can't remember which tube station it was) everyone was halfway up the escalator, I was still on the platform and all I could think about was American werewolf in London lol I legged it up the escalator. 1 annoying thing is you interrupt the guy when he's talking to you talk over him
Well done Sinead, this video brought back a lot of memories, as an Ex patient of St. Barts I had heard of the Hospital Ghosts, but the main memory is that of my ancester, who was a Knights Templar, who had escaped to Scotland and served alongside the army of Sir William Wallace outside Sterling Castle. So well done again I will be watching more of your video's now.
The tight lacing of the corset was actually uncommon and considered cheating. Instead to get the desired silhouette ladies used padding and layers. There is a lot of myths about corsets that have since been debunked.
I just adore this channel! Look forward to every time a new video is uploaded. The real raw history with no sugar coating. I had a history and government teacher in high school that taught just like you. His name was Mr. Cross and he was a treasure trove of true information of facts, dates and events, with a little extra info on the side. The good stuff! Thank you again for all you do! It is much appreciated!

I could watch you folks foot tours all day ., I particularly enjoyed this one due to the combined subjects of the paranormal , the grisly and the historical facts surrounding them ( absolutely perfect for Halloween ) . Here in Baltimore Maryland we have our own stories of grave robbing as well as the resting place of Edgar Allen Poe in Westminster Churchyard . Keep up the great work that you all do and stay safe . Happy Halloween !! 💀🎃🦇👻 and much ❤ from Baltimore Maryland.
Thanks for your continued support, Dennis!
The fact about the barbers pole is interesting, and something I have never heard of, even though I knew barbers did double up as makeshift surgeons and even dentists.
This is so interesting, thanks for sharing, .
Delighted you enjoyed it
Sinead
I love your channel, ticks all the boxes for me, enjoyed that immensely. Regards from Scotland 🏴

Comments like these make all the work worthwhile

Hello from Naples, Florida. We enjoyed your tour of the Dark Side of the City of London. Thank you so much for sharing this part of the world with us.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. If you haven't done so already, you can hopefully check out our back catalogue of virtual London tours ua-cam.com/users/FreeToursbyFootLondonvideos. There is more where this came from.
Thanks for watching
Sinead
Amazing video, you two! Incredible facts, spooky stories, atmospheric locations. What more could you want. This channel goes from strength to strength. X
Dont forget that there were three of them giving us interesting facts.
@@wolvoman1 oops! My bad. Forgot the detailed info at the end. Shame rubbing sugar into the teeth never caught on! Lol
Thanks guys we are all chuffed to bits with these comments
Sinead
talking about cloth, a sad fact is young Victorian mothers cut pieces of their clothing and stitched it onto their babies clothing to recognize their babies a bit like a pawn ticket because they had so little money if they had to put them in certain institutions /horrible times for the poor of london/thanks for vid x
This is great extra info, Rachel. Thanks for sharing.
Funny thing, watching this made me think of Crossbones Graveyard. Love the respect you show while in a church,,,, Still at work will finish this afternoon, Thanks Sinead for your time and work.
Mike thank you as always
You’re a gem
❤
@@Sineadlondontourguide You're the GEM, I'm just some clown in America...... LOL
I've been to the Viaduct Tavern after I read about in "Walking Haunted London" written by the lovely Richard Jones( I met him at one of his ghost tours and he happily autographed the book) I took photos of the Newgate cells and one picture was riddled with orbs. It was awesome! I highly recommend everyone go there.
That's an excellent book, Darcy!
Live for the spooky London content!! Thanks again Sinead. Wonderful as always.
More to come this month :)

We also hope to show you around London when you get here, Gabrielle! You can browse our tour selection here www.freetoursbyfoot.com/london-tours/. Bookmark us :)
Worked at Barts and loved it. The lift ghost is true, for a code everyone would use the stairs. A woman who lost her baby and drowned herself in the fountain. One of the nurses I worked with saw her. There was a little boy in the children's ward who is seen running and playing. His different clothes makes him stick out. The central square was supposed to be a plague pit and supposedly you can hear screams and cries in the underground tunnels. Also you were supposedly you can smell smoke and hear screams and when maintenance was done underground ashes were found at the right level for when burning at the stakes were done. Glad to see it being modernized as it deserves. Best hospital.
Which part of the hospital is the lift in question? I have been to the hospital a lot recently, and have got to go again this Friday, and it would be interesting to have a look if it is a public part of the hospital.
It was in the the Queen Elizabeth building. Sometimes people report children playing in the lift but it's her. She was a student nurse who got told not to follow a neuro patient into the lift and did and he murdered her or that was what got told. I did hear from a few people that the lift followed them up the floors and the door would open !
@@lesleysmith51 that's crazy! Thanks for the reply!
Thank you for all this extra info, Lesley!!
Hello from Leicestershire,
I’m 2 miles away from Bradgate park where lady Jane gray lived.
I was skinned alive when I came off my Harley 😢 but I’ve grown it all back now 😅. I love your tours so much🥰,
because I can’t walk very far because of the accident.
Hope your on the mend
Thank you for your kind words
Sinead
amazing as usual thank you
I love history...and the dark side is interesting to me ..I mean it is history and good to know..not many historians will tell this kind of thing .. Places like this must have some kind of hauntings .
Sinead, there is something about your storytelling ability that makes you such a natural for this ghost tour. Matt and Rob are great as well. I have been a HUGE fan of walking tours since I took my first Ripper Walk back in 1993. They are a wonderful way to connect with a location, its history and people. I hope to make it back someday to take one of these tours in real life. Until then, the tours on this site are the next best thing to being there!
I was glad to hear, when you were discussing Mary I, that you brought up the fact that, compared to her father, she was hardly a brutal monarch. I don't think she got the moniker "Bloody" because of patriarchy though. I think it's because the winners get to write history and those that followed were Protestant. There is nothing surprising that they would mislabel a Catholic monarch in order to sully her name.
We love your thoughtful comment, Pattie! Thank you for sharing with us :)
I've done a couple Ripper walks as well and they are always interesting. But if you're a reader like me you have to hold your tongue when the docent/tour guide says the wrong thing! They don't always know what they are talking about!
@@silverstuff182 It's difficult to have the "accurate" data with things like the history of Jack the Ripper. New theories surface all the time , there is little hard evidence and people get very involved with their personal favorite suspects. I actually enjoy hearing different ideas and talking about them with people that have different opinions. It's hard to be wrong when nobody really knows what the truth is!
Thanks for the tour of London keep Up the good work
Glad you liked this one, Malcolm :)
Thank you for sharing from Australia .
You are most welcome!
Loved this and all the alleyways and courtyard gardens with gruesome history! Any more on Newgate gaol ??
Thanks
Thank you all for a very interesting film. Very well researched and presented ❤️
Glad you're going through our back catalogue, Shelia! :)
Danke!
What a GREAT IDEA!! I just LOVE this Channel.
Welcome to the channel, Roberta!
One of my favorite videos. Thank you
So glad you enjoyed it, Tracy!
I love the historical part of this video. Very shocking but interesting.
Funny isn’t it how we find the shocking the most interesting sometimes

@@Sineadlondontourguide Unfortunately I m living on the other side of the world. Don't know when I can have a chance to even travel to UK.
Sinead you have made my day! I cant wait to watch this tonight :-D x
What did you think of this one, Joby? :)
Hearing from you Joby always makes mine
Sinead
New subscriber here! Absolutely loved this video was fascinating - coming from someone who's grown up around this area my entire life I knew some of these stories but some others blew my mind!
Welcome to the channel, Leticia!
Great, I've enjoyed everyone of your down loads, very addictive . I'm going to be up all night watching your downloads. You have me mesmerised.
These two are a great duo! They have great chemistry - they should do a history podcast I’d listen to it.
Love this comment
Love working with Rob we have a new adventure coming out next week x
Hi. I have just come across your videos today. I would like to say thank you for taking the time to tell us and show us the history of these places. I'm fascinated and love ghost stories. Plus being shown some of London is a real treat as I live in lancaster. I visited London once I was in a children's home but even though I'd left it, they still let me go to hide park with them. When we got of the train (I can't remember which tube station it was) everyone was halfway up the escalator, I was still on the platform and all I could think about was American werewolf in London lol I legged it up the escalator. 1 annoying thing is you interrupt the guy when he's talking to you talk over him
Welcome to the channel, Chris! Thanks for sharing your experience with us - glad you made it up that escalator..!!
Well done Sinead, this video brought back a lot of memories, as an Ex patient of St. Barts I had heard of the Hospital Ghosts, but the main memory is that of my ancester, who was a Knights Templar, who had escaped to Scotland and served alongside the army of Sir William Wallace outside Sterling Castle.
So well done again I will be watching more of your video's now.
We love the story of your ancestor, Michael! Thanks for sharing.
The tight lacing of the corset was actually uncommon and considered cheating. Instead to get the desired silhouette ladies used padding and layers. There is a lot of myths about corsets that have since been debunked.
Ah Awesome , very cool tour once again. Thank you guys!
A pleasure as always
Thank you for watching
Sinead
I just adore this channel! Look forward to every time a new video is uploaded. The real raw history with no sugar coating. I had a history and government teacher in high school that taught just like you. His name was Mr. Cross and he was a treasure trove of true information of facts, dates and events, with a little extra info on the side. The good stuff! Thank you again for all you do! It is much appreciated!
Thank you for your recognition and support, Lisa! :)
So informative ..I love seeing the back roads and the victorian houses most would not know were there ... just beautiful ! 😃
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this channel so much. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
We love that you love it, Stephanie :)
Love the old streets of London stunning...great video and the history is so interesting 💕✨☘️
Thanks for your continued support, Eppi!
