The experience
About this quest
London’s streets whisper secrets—of artists forgotten, statues that watched too long, and souls trapped in silence.
You are no ordinary explorer—you’re a historian with a gift: when you walk these paths, their stories come alive in your mind. Follow clues, solve real-world puzzles, and let the ghosts guide your steps in search of The Quill, the only thing that can set them free.
This is more than just a walk—it's a mystery woven into the city’s bones. Discover hidden corners of London with your friends or family, awaken stories lost to time, and create memories that will haunt you—in the best way. Ready to give the silent their voice?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Ghost story fans, friends and families with older children get a daylight haunted walk through Mayfair and the West End, from Green Park to the Berkeley Square haunted house and the Coach & Horses, solving puzzles to free trapped souls. It takes about an hour over 2.8 km. If you want an after-dark tour with a live storyteller, or your children are young and easily frightened, look elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a London ghost walk I can do without a guide?
Yes. It is self-guided on your phone. The app leads you between stops in Mayfair, Green Park and the West End, tells the ghost story of each place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. Start any time, with no group to join, and one ticket covers your whole group.
Where does the ghost walk start and finish?
It starts and finishes at The Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile, so the route is a loop. Along the way you pass Marlborough Road, the Canada Memorial, Green Park, the Berkeley Square haunted house, Brook Street and the Lancashire Court tile mural.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Plan on about an hour to cover 2.8 km on foot, plus whatever time you spend lingering over the stories and puzzles. You can pause the game and continue later if you want a break or a coffee along the way.
Can we do it at night?
No, it is designed to be played in daylight, and the guidance is not to play at night. You also do not need to go inside any of the buildings on the route; the stories and puzzles all work from the street outside.
Is it suitable for children?
It is a horror and haunts theme with tales of trapped souls and haunted houses, so it suits older children best. Children under 12 should be guided by their parents, both through the stories and the real-world puzzles along the route.
What’s the deal with this quest?
You’re playing a historian who hears ghostly whispers—statues, paintings, and forgotten souls trapped in silence. As you walk through Mayfair and Green Park, you follow clues to find The Quill, the only thing that can free them.
How long will it take and how far will we walk?
About 40-70 minutes, covering roughly 2.8 km (≈ 3,680 steps). Just right for an evening stroll with a supernatural edge.
Who’s this experience made for?
Perfect for couples wanting something romantic + mysterious, friends who enjoy ghost stories, and curious tourists who want London’s secret, haunted side—not just the usual Big Ben and Tower.
