Hidden down a quiet Belgravia mews, The Grenadier looks like any charming old London pub — but inside, something sinister still stirs.

Join me as we slip through the misty backstreets of 19th-century London to uncover the legend of the Grenadier’s ghost — a tale where loyalty, betrayal, and a lost debt still echo through the rafters.

The Ghosts of The Ten Bells Pub 18:03

Nestled in the heart of Spitalfields, The Ten Bells is one of London’s most infamous pubs — and not just for its beer. Said to be haunted by the restless spirits of the past, this centuries-old public house has seen everything from Ripper victims to spectral barmaids who never clocked out. But how much of the haunting is real, and how much is legend born from the dark streets of Whitechapel? In this episode of Macabre London , we uncover the eerie history behind The Ten Bells — from its chilling connection to Jack the Ripper and the brutal murders of Annie Chapman and Mary Jane Kelly, to the countless ghost sightings that still send shivers down visitors’ spines today. Step inside, if you dare, as we peel back the layers of London’s haunted past and ask: is The Ten Bells really one of the most haunted pubs in the city, or just cursed by its own bloody history?

In 1828 , a grand celebration marked the trial of Britain’s first passenger railway—but by the end of the day, one of the country’s most powerful men was dead. William Huskisson, MP, was struck by The Rocket in a gruesome accident that unfolded in front of the Duke of Wellington and dozens of shocked onlookers.

London's First Police Force Was a Gang?! | The Dark History of the Bow Street Runners 30:56

Before Scotland Yard... before the Met Police... there was chaos . In this episode of Macabre London , we uncover the wild, booze-soaked origins of Britain's very first police force – the Bow Street Runners . But these weren’t your average crimefighters. Oh no. These were drunken, brawling, and occasionally criminal men who blurred the lines between justice and disorder. Led by an eccentric magistrate and paid with public funds (and sometimes beer), this ragtag group laid the foundations for modern policing... but not without raising a few eyebrows and knocking out a few teeth along the way. 🔪 Were they heroes? Hooligans? Or something much more complicated? 🕵️‍♀️ Join me as we delve into the weird and bloody history of the 1700s crime-fighting gang who were meant to protect the streets — but often caused just as much trouble.

The Chevalier d'Éon: History’s First Trans Spy and Master of Disguise 28:59

In this episode of Macabre London , we uncover the astonishing true story of the Chevalier d'Éon — a master spy, decorated soldier, and diplomat in 18th century France who became one of the first openly transgender or gender-nonconforming public figures in recorded history. D'Éon led a double life in the shadowy world of Louis XV’s secret intelligence network, using diplomacy, disguise, and blackmail to survive the cutthroat politics of the French royal court. After years of military service and espionage, d’Éon stunned the world by publicly presenting as a woman — sparking international intrigue and political scandal. But was this a revolutionary act of gender expression, or a carefully calculated move to protect royal secrets? Join me as I explore D’Éon’s incredible life — from fencing duels and spy missions across Europe, to a post-mortem discovery that left Victorian London reeling. With themes of identity, survival, and political manipulation, this episode delves deep into one of history’s most fascinating and misunderstood figures.

Before London had the Met, it had chaos. In this episode of Macabre London, we uncover the strange and often deadly story of how policing began in the city—from the drunken "Charlies" who fell asleep on the job, to the terrifyingly informal Hue and Cry system that let ordinary citizens legally execute criminals on sight. And let's not forget Jonathan Wild: the man who invented organised crime while pretending to be its biggest enemy. Join me as we dig into the murky underworld of Georgian crime, shady law enforcement, the wilderness years of the gin craze and how all of this laid the foundation for modern policing... even if that foundation was built on fear, corruption, and a lot of laudanum.
