The English capital is one of those cities where a historical event has occurred almost round every corner, and people looking for things to do in London can make the most of this with City Secret Walks.

Almost 125 years ago, a bloodthirsty killer roamed the streets of Whitechapel, brutally slaying prostitutes.

His identity was never revealed and so he has gone down in history as "Jack the Ripper," with students of 'Ripperology' having many theories as to who he was.

People who want to learn more about Jack, and other London serial killers, as well as witchcraft, execution and more can opt for The Blood and Tears Walk.

This popular tour delves into the most murky and gruesome parts of London's past and is a great option for people looking for Halloween activities to do in the capital.

Those with more of a literary leaning will no doubt be delighted with The Shakespeare City Walk, which offers new insights into the genius who penned world-famous plays including Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Richard III, Macbeth and Hamlet.
