Passengers ride aboard the Necrobus, a restored 1960s Routemaster outfitted with plush gothic interiors and flickering lanterns, for a mobile comedy-horror theatre show. A ghoulish conductor and live actors reveal the sinister history and ghost stories behind landmarks such as the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and Fleet Street. The atmospheric journey features sudden surprises, comedic performances, and a brief stop where guests step off the bus.
