Monsters and Scientists

Tour dates and times:

Sunday - 16 November 2025 - 12:00

Did you know Mayfair and Soho inspired some of our greatest monsters, including Dr Frankenstein, Count Dracula and Dr Jekyll? This tour visits some of these key sites and also the scientists that helped inspire these monsters. For example Oscar Wilde references Charles Darwin in “A Picture of Dorian Grey”.

If you are interested in gothic horror, with a bit of added gory scientific history this is the tour for you!

All my tours are fun, entertaining as well as packed full of interesting facts.

Starting by Goddess Dianna Statute, close to Green Park Tube the tour finishes in Soho and lasts about 90 minutes.
