Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Tour

Step into the shadows of Gothic London

Step into the gas-lit streets of Victorian London and uncover the eerie tale of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Set in the West End, particularly Soho, Robert Louis Stevenson’s gothic novella explores the duality of human nature—respectable society on one side, shadowy backstreets on the other.

This walking tour takes you through locations that mirror the novel’s descriptions, bringing London’s darker past to life. Led by a London tour guide Hazel or David, you’ll gain insight into Stevenson’s inspirations, the contrasts of 19th-century London, and the anxieties that shaped his chilling story.

London in 1886 was a city of extremes—rapidly industrialising, filled with gas-lit alleyways, and home to both extreme wealth and desperate poverty. These stark contrasts added to the eerie atmosphere of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, making London itself feel like a character in the novel.

This walk is perfect for literature lovers, GCSE students, and those intrigued by the mysteries of London’s past**. Step into Stevenson’s world and experience one of literature’s most haunting tales.
