When the sun is blazing, the evenings stretch out for hours and Londoners are swanning about in beer gardens and lidos, the city’s oldest, most menacing residents are at rest, waiting for winter to envelop the city.

We’ll be refreshing this guide over the next few months as more Halloween 2025 London events are announced.
