If the only thing you want to hear going bump in the night is a thudding soundsystem, then Halloween in London won’t disappoint. This year, the day of spooks and scares falls on Thursday, October 31 2024.
Partying til the early hours might not be seen as a good move in the middle of the week normally, but Halloween is different – a time to embrace the more terrifying sides of life, just like having to make it through the work day with a hangover that’s as resilient as the club entry stamp ink that refuses to budge from your hand. But while there’s plenty of options for Halloween night itself, there will also be opportunities to join in the fun on the ‘Halloweekend’ just before, or the weekend after.
There are scary club nights aplenty, but also gothic cabaret shows, frightful live music, spooky museum lates and scary movie screenings. If you go out on actual Halloween, be prepared to spend the following days like a zombie at work. It’ll be so worth it, though...
