Tower of London (Greater London, England)
One of London’s most famous landmarks is also reputedly its most haunted. The Tower of London has, over its thousand-year history, been a royal palace, prison, armoury, mint, menagerie, torture chamber, and tourist attraction. It is no surprise that it is sometimes said to be the most haunted single site in the world.
