London's shadowed alleyways, sleepy pubs and misty open spaces are alive with the ghosts of the famous and the forgotten, the lovelorn and the loveless, the damned and the damnable."Haunted London" takes the intrepid ghost seeker on a truly hair-raising journey to some of the capital's spookiest places. From the chilling manifestations at the infamous 50 Berkeley Square to the eternal restlessness of Jack the Ripper's victims, Richard Jones, professional tour guide and inveterate ghost hunter, leaves no haunted house unmentioned, revealing the intriguing tales behind the lost souls who haunt them.

We bought this book for a friend who was into the paranormal and lived in London. Flicking through the pages before handing it over we were immediately impressed with the easy to read layout and the wealth of information. An hour later we realised the time and found we had become so engrossed in it that it was hard to put down.
To a normal reader within an interest in history and ghostly goings on, this book is an amusing and informative read, with lots of tales of London and it's many ghost and hauntings. To a paranormal investigator like myself it is almost an essential point of reference and a great aide to finding great location ideas for investigations in the London area. I must admit... we have used it for this purpose on a few occasions.
A really useful tool in this book is having it split into geographical areas, making it easier to find specific locations if you are looking for them. With each haunting researched and detailed, it soon becomes apparent why London has quickly become the haunted capital of the World. Beautiful pictures and colourful illustration add to the general appeal of the book and transform what could be a normal list of locations into an interesting, eye-pleasing and tantalising read.
If you liked his other books you will most definitely not be disappointed.... or if you like this book you should check out the others too! All in all a well compiled list of fantastic locations... some famous, some unexplored, all fascinating!

This is a splendid book in a number of ways, and a joy to read - also an ideal coffee table book.
Firstly, the tales are varied in terms of content, and era. There are ancient ghost stories, and more recent ones which make one want to investigate the locations and find out for themselves.
The text is just the right length for dipping in to - you can read one or two spooky accounts at a time, or more.
The chapters are divided up by areas, and these are nicely introduced with well-presented maps. The photographs and pictures though, are another highlight of this book. They are superb, and so well chosen. The variation of atmospheric photographs, old and new, with wonderful lighting, are very impressive. Along with these we have old drawings, some black and white, and very old and characterful. There are also 'real' ghost photographs, which the reader can study with fascination as the apparitions are there to see. And character portraits, to add depth and identity to ghosts in the tales.
This is an excellent example of a book which has had a great deal of care and planning. The result is something which is hard to put down, and will lend itself to repeat readings - and highly curious friends.
