Declan McHugh
Hello! I'm your Guide, Declan McHugh.
I am friendly, knowledgeable and engaging, and I've been researching the psychology and behaviour of serial killers for 30 years.
This Tour currently has 960 Five-Star reviews on TripAdvisor (September 2025).
I'm not one of those guides who has been handed a script - that's like being a glorified parrot!
I wrote the script - and the book!
I'm the author of the best-selling book 'BLOODY LONDON' which includes 16 London serial killers, plus many other aspects of Horror London including haunted London churches, Satanic cults in London, etc.
About 10,000 copies of 'Bloody London' have been sold to date, it's been reprinted five times, and it currently has 154 five-star reviews on Amazon
I'm also an ex-professional actor, and a highly-praised 'cinematic' story-teller, expert at bringing grim deeds to life in the imaginations of the people who attend the Tour.
I believe the ideal Tour Guide needs to be very knowledgeable about their subject but NOT in a dry academic way. On the other hand, I don't like what might be called the London Dungeon, over-the-top, half-cartoonish melodramatic style.
I keep it real and I keep it absorbing.
When you come on my Tour, you will learn a lot about the twisted minds of 10 serial killers, but I do NOT fan-boy killers. Absolutely not. The tour is victim-centred.
My philosophy is 'Serial Killers - Seriously'.
If you like True Crime, and/or are interested in Serial Killers, this is the Tour for you. Honestly.
See you soon.....
