Lambeth Palace, SE1

Lambeth Palace stands majestically on the north bank of the River Thames, its grandeur a testament to centuries of history. But amidst its splendour, a haunting procession is said to take place. The ghostly shade of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's ill-fated wife, is carried along the Thames in a barge crewed by faded grey figures. This eerie spectacle is believed to be a re-enactment of her final journey to the Tower of London, where she met her maker. The palace itself is said to echo with Anne's desperate voice, pleading and crying out for her life to be saved.

St Andrews Hospital, E3

St Andrews Hospital in London's East End has a fascinating, if somewhat brief, history of paranormal activity. In the mid-1970s, during a period of renovation, three workers installing new lifts reported a strange occurrence. As they worked, a shimmering white shape appeared next to them, similar to a heat haze, and then vanished just as quickly. This fleeting apparition may have been 'George', a poltergeist-like entity known to hospital staff.

St Thomas' Hospital, SE1

St Thomas' Hospital in London is home to a rather unsettling presence - a ghostly nurse known as the Grey Nurse. This phantom figure, clad in a grey uniform, has been spotted by numerous people, often in areas where patients are being cared for. What's particularly unnerving about this ghost is that she appears so lifelike, her facial features remarkably clear, that she's been mistaken for a real person - until she vanishes into thin air. Some reports even suggest that her legs abruptly end at the knees, adding to the eerie nature of her apparition.

Sky over Palace of Westminster, SW1

On a chilly February evening in 2008, a strange object hovered silently in the sky above the Palace of Westminster. The UFO, as it came to be known, was a mesmerising sight with its white, red, and green lights illuminating the darkness. For a full 90 minutes, it remained visible to anyone who cared to look up. The Palace of Westminster, with its rich history dating back to the 11th century, has been the site of numerous significant events over the years, but this unusual sighting was certainly a first.

Between Westminster and Greenwich, SW1

River Thames has borne witness to many a tragic tale, but one that stands out is that of the Diving Lady. A man crossing the river on a steam ferry in the nineteenth century watched in horror as a lady wearing a black veil jumped into the water. Without hesitation, he dived after her but was unable to find the lady. He swam back to the ferry and was pulled from the water by the captain and a few others. The man's account of the incident would leave a lasting impression on the crew, for the captain revealed that she had been seen twice before that week, performing the same action, but could never be found in the water.

St Mary's Church and graveyard, E11

St Mary's Church in London's E11 area is home to a haunting tale of love and loss. A skeletal ghost has been spotted pushing a cart used for transporting corpses, searching for the body of his deceased wife that was stolen by grave robbers. This eerie apparition is said to roam the church and graveyard, driven by a desire to reunite with his lost love. The atmosphere is thick with sorrow as he searches for his wife, a poignant reminder of the transience of life and the enduring power of love.
