Route: Meet outside Bethnal Green Underground Station by the Stairway to Heaven memorial (w3w///taker.owner.poem). We will walk to various tube and overground stations that are reportedly haunted!! The walk will end at Elephant & Castle tube station (with a Wetherspoons nearby for a post-walk drink!). As we are passing approximately 10 haunted stations there are plenty of bail out points. As it’s near to Halloween dressing up is encouraged though not compulsory.
Notes:It would be beneficial if you could let me know you are coming, either by text or email, as it’s a very busy area and would be useful to know how many people will be walking and who to wait for. Prepare to be spooked by Emma.
