King's Head & Eight Bells Public House, SW3

The King's Head & Eight Bells Public House on Cheyne Walk seems like a typical London pub, but it's home to a rather flustered ghost. This mischievous spirit gets antagonised whenever a new female member of staff starts work. For a few days afterwards, it pushes past patrons on the stairs and plays with the gas taps and heating in the basement. It's as if the ghost is trying to make its presence known, but in a rather annoying way. The pub's location on Cheyne Walk, a street with a history of bear-baiting, might just add to the ghost's feisty character.

Putney Bridge, SW15

Putney Bridge has long been a spot of intrigue, especially back in the summer of 1895 when locals and curiosity seekers alike would often find themselves lingering on the bridge until the early hours of the morning. They weren't there just for the views of the Thames; everyone wanted a glimpse of the phantom white figure that had seemingly made the bridge its home. This wasn't just a fleeting rumour; newspapers of the time actually reported on the phenomenon, drawing even more people to the spot in hopes of catching a sighting.

Fulham House, SW6

Fulham House in London's SW6 has a reputation for being haunted by the ghost of a phantom woman. This eerie apparition was first spotted back in 1956 by a visitor who caught a glimpse of the woman crossing the drill hall. The building's history as the former Fulham House School for Girls might hold the key to understanding these strange occurrences. A member of the cleaning staff reported hearing unexplained footsteps on the staircase when she was alone on site. These events have led to speculation about the involvement of Miss Flemming, who ran the school.

Mill Hill Barracks, SW13

Mill Hill Barracks has been home to a restless presence, a phantom soldier whose footsteps echo through the accommodation block. This haunting manifestation is said to belong to a young soldier who tragically took his own life within the barracks. His presence is marked by the sound of phantom footfalls, a haunting reminder of the soldier's untimely demise. The barracks, with its long history, seems to have absorbed the soldier's story, replaying it for those who venture into the area.

The King's Arms, SE15

The King's Arms in Peckham Rye, London, has a long history of paranormal activity. This pub was hit by a bomb during World War II, resulting in around a dozen fatalities. The ghosts of those who lost their lives are said to occasionally return to the site, now rebuilt, to relive memories of their past. Locals have reported seeing apparitions propping up the bar or hearing the sound of wartime songs being sung in the dead of night.

Barnes Common, SW13

Barnes Common in south west London is home to a rather eerie sighting. After dusk, a phantom prisoner is said to appear, silently walking across the common. He's easily recognisable in his grey clothing covered with many black arrows. It's thought that this ghostly figure and a phantom nun may have originated from the nineteenth century. The nun is said to glide across the common in a zig-zag fashion, adding to the mystique of this location.
