The Umbrella Murder - A Cold War Poisoning 

Murder as a rule is usually a messy and noisy affair that can’t usually be carried out in broad daylight and go undetected. A murder weapon as inconspicuous as an umbrella and a micro dose of poison could however make murder swift, clean and almost painless for the victim. The death of Bulgarian defector, Georgi Markov happened in just this way. In broad daylight and with its victim not really knowing what had happened. But, who was Georgi murdered by and why?

This time on Macabre London, we uncover The umbrella murder. 

*Apologies for some of the minor audio issues of late - I'm still working on trying to get better audio options with a limited budget and recording at home.*

The Necropolis Railway - The Death Train And The Mega Cemetery

London in the 1800’s was overflowing with the dead. With graveyards closing in the city and the dead not welcome anymore, two men created the largest funeral business in London and the largest cemetery in the UK, with the upside being that the majority of it wasn’t in London. 

This time on Macabre London, we uncover The Necropolis Railway.

The Plumstead Arsenic Murder - Carcinogenic Coffee and Poisoned Wallpaper

Death was always a creeping terror in the 1800’s but even more so when people discovered they could use a basic household chemical to kill people without a trace. That was until one chemist took it upon himself to put an end to the poisonous murder craze by devising a test that would provide concrete evidence to convict those that had previously got off scott free!

This time on Macabre London, we uncover the Plumstead arsenic murder.

Spring Heeled Jack - The Victorian Slenderman

Even before the internet, people created strange unimaginable beasts and the Victorians managed to dedicate whole newspapers to the monsters supposedly living across the UK in the form of Penny Dreadful periodicals.

But what happens when one of those monsters comes to life and starts terrorising the streets of London.

This time on Macabre London, we uncover the story of Spring Heeled Jack.

Find out about the many different guises Spring Heeled Jack appeared in. How his help in distracting from a fire in the financial district may have been a clever inception by the press and whether he may still be around today. Join us to find out the story of who this person was and how they terrorised the Victorians.

Tragedy Erupts From The Ashes Of Other People’s Mistakes.

A sequel to our most popular episode- Trains, Pain and Underground Squeals. This time on Macabre London, we uncover one of the worst fires to have ever happened in the history of the tube. The Kings Cross Fire happened in 1987 but it’s legacy lives on even today. We discuss how the fire happened, how it got so out of control and the strange fire phenomenon that scientists discovered as a result. How does the fire link with modern day improvements and how can today’s government learn from the past and maybe put safety precautions into practice before lives are lost again, as was seen in 2017 with the Grenfell disaster.

If you had the option to disappear completely, would you choose it?

In this episode of Macabre London we uncover (quite literally) those that are subterranean and solitary to the extreme. We hear about the hermit of Dulwich and the mole men of Blackheath and Hackney.

Capital punishment- Not something to be taken lightly and definitely not a job many human beings would willingly opt in to. When hanging in England and more specifically London was a practice enforced by the government, people actually wanted to sign up to be the one to rid the world of trialled criminals. Were hangmen trusted professionals or professional serial killers?

In this weeks episode we learn about one of the most interesting and compassionate hangmen that served the UK for over 20 years but can one person bear the weight of all those souls on their conscience, particularly when they don't think the person they're hanging is guilty?

This time, we tell the tale of John Ellis, London's chief executioner.
