Public house of horrors...

Nilsen bars tour branded bad taste

-  Dan Warburton

TRUE crime fans are being offered a gruesome tour of pubs where mass-murderer Dennis Nilsen hunted victims.

The £29.99 trips will visit spots where Nilsen – one the UK’s most prolific serial killers – lured vulnerable men during a five-year reign of terror.

One critic slammed it as “senseless voyeurism” that “couldn’t be in worse taste”. But Rory Everett, who is behind the two-day Dark Crime Tours of London event, insists that demand for all things related to serial killers and crime is at an “all-time high”.

His events will also take in Jack the Ripper murder scenes and visit the Blind Beggar pub – where George Cornell was gunned down by East End gangster Ronnie Kray in 1966.
