All Hallow's tours by Lamplight
Event Information
Description
What better way to spend Halloween than on lamp-lit tour, with us for a tour around one of London’s Victorian Magnificent cemeteries!
The East End of today is very different from the one from days gone by. Many legends have called it home over the years – many are now long dead. But what if these people could be brought back to life, just for a little bit?
Beneath the soil - six feet under - local heroes are waiting to be rediscovered. Ranging from opium den owners, animal importers, philanthropists, politicians, soldiers and music hall stars. These are just some of the remarkable characters who are going to be brought back to life by Sheldon, Sam and Sacha of the Cemetery Club this Halloween, as they give you a personal introduction to some of the 350,000 remarkable people who lie beneath the ground in Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. Join them for a night to remember as the clock is turned back to see the old East End - and try some delicious Victorian death biscuits, too!
With a choice of times, the tours will start at the War Memorial, by the Soanes Centre (on the right as you enter via the main gates on Southern Grove E3)
Please wear suitable footwear and wrap up warm: All Hallows Eve can be chilly!
