Westminster is officially the spookiest borough in London scoring 78 out of 100 - this borough has 45 ghost sightings, 16 supernatural beings, 15 spooky tours and 14 Halloween events.

Biggin Hill Airfield in Bromley is notoriously known for its fair share of ghostly sightings – from spectral airmen to supernatural planes.

Other ghostly sightings have apparently been spotted in haunted houses, pubs, cultural attractions and even on the streets of Bromley.
