Most creepy place in London

[Pip]

I remembered, it's called Tyburn Convent. There are guided tours (the gallows were called Tyburn gallows btw).

 

[fogbat]

Fancy a bit of trespassing? What about an old asylum? Isn't there a bit of Springfield Hospital that's all abandoned and creepy?

This day, of all days, is the wrong one to suggest ways of traumatising children

Dennis Severs house

if you are not creeped by it, then you are not human

[Voley]

Josephine Avenue, Brixton after about 1am. Once memorably described by blue nun as 'Like playing Resident Evil'.

I see it more of a celebration.

"You're free! Throw open the doors, the world is yours once more!"

that looks really good. on the list for a sunday in july

drury lane theatre's the most haunted in london, apparently. they do backstage tours, but they're a bit pricey and i'm not sure that they're that brilliant for a 10 year old (that said, i was 10 when i went there, and loved all the ghost stories that it's got).

 

[hipipol]

St Pauls Cathedral

Almost nothing about the supposed loving message of Jeebus, BUT loads and loads of statues and tombs etc of geezers who killed millions of natives building "The Empire"

Now thats creepy

 

[vauxhallmum]

Hmmm. Lived in London 43 years and have never been to St Pauls.
I don't do jeebus, that sounds like a good suggestion. Thanks.

Deptford

Me neither. Ridiculous, isn't it...

It's expensive though - £8 to get in I think

WOT? Charging to get into a bloody church? Cough * splutter

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Yeah, Westminster Abbey is about that too.

 

[ViolentPanda]

highgate cemetery at night. tho' you have to climb over the wall.

You still going there occasionally in the hope of staking Bishop Manchester?

 

[Citizen66]

fogbat's bedroom.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

Tower Hamlets Cemetery

 

[pseudonarcissus]

[BadlyDrawnGirl]

Penge. No contest.

 

[oryx]

Penge. No contest.

Two creepiest sights in London:

- The Concrete House on Lordship Lane, E Dulwich
- St Andrews Church, Landor Road, Stockwell.

Both far too creepy for a ten year old, though. Especially the former.

 

[Relahni]

Apparently it's a stretch of a disused underground line in I think Kennington way?

I saw a TV clip about it and it was just hideous. Awful awful awful.

The wind from the trains meant that the doors kept on slamming and there was a high pitched noise constantly to make things constantly creepy.
