London dates back to Roman times and has a long, often violent and tragic history. There are hundreds of stories of ghosts in old buildings, parks, streets, graveyards and even theatres and tube stations. From Medieval times to the early 20th century, the Tower of London has had a long, cruel history of imprisonment, trials, executions and torture. One of the most frequently seen ghosts is the headless Anne Boleyn, the unlucky wife of Henry VIII who was beheaded at the Tower in 1536. Stories of ghostly goings-on at the Tower of London are numerous and still occur today. The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane first opened its curtains to the public in 1663 and is therefore London’s oldest working theatre. Many phantoms supposedly make their presence felt during the performances here.
