Declan McHugh
Hello! I'm your Guide, Declan McHugh.
I am friendly, knowledgeable and engaging, and I've been researching the psychology and behaviour of serial killers for 30 years.
This Tour currently has 782 Five-Star reviews on TripAdvisor (July 2023).
I'm not one of those guides who has been handed a script - that's like being a glorified parrot!
I wrote the script - and the book!
I'm the author of the best-selling book 'BLOODY LONDON' which includes 16 London serial killers, plus many other aspects of Horror London including haunted London churches, Satanic cults in London, etc.
Approaching 11,000 copies of 'Bloody London' have been sold to date, it's been reprinted four times, and it currently has 147 five-star reviews on Amazon (July 2023).
I'm also an ex-professional actor, and a highly-praised 'cinematic' story-teller, expert at bringing grim deeds to life in the imaginations of the people who attend the Tour.
I believe the ideal Tour Guide needs to be very knowledgeable about their subject but NOT in a dry academic way. On the other hand, I don't like what might be called the London Dungeon, over-the-top, half-cartoonish melodramatic style.
I keep it real and I keep it absorbing.
When you come on my Tour, you will learn a lot about the twisted minds of 10 serial killers, but I do NOT fan-boy killers. Abolutely not. The tour is victim-centred.
My philosophy is 'Serial Killers - Seriously'.
If you like True Crime, and/or are interested in Serial Killers, this is the Tour for you. Honestly.
See you soon.....
