Things to Do in London this Halloween

London is a vibrant metropolitan city, but beneath the surface, it has a horrifying, gory past – making it an excellent destination for a fun-filled and frivolous Halloween this year.

Whether you are up for a theme party, a Jack the Ripper Halloween tour, or a series of ghost walks this Halloween, you are sure to have the time of your life in London this October.

Here are a couple of things you can do in London this Halloween.

History by Night

All across London, galleries, heritage sites and museums will remain open after hours throughout the dark and eerie nights spanning 28 to 31 October. You will be able to experience late-night exhibitions, themed walks, special events, and guided tours during this spooky time.

One of the most prominent highlights includes the chance to embark on a Halloween at the Museum Tour at the Natural History Museum. The tour is described as “a fright you’ll never forget” and is set to take place on the evening of Halloween between 7 pm and 10:30 pm.

Jack the Ripper Halloween Tour

The mystery of one of the world’s most gruesome serial killers, Jack the Ripper, is a tour not to be missed. Unfortunately, the identity of this killer still remains elusive to this day!

Go on an adventurous murder mystery hunt with guides dressed like Victorian-era policemen and tread the very same walkways and streets that Ripper did while exploring the Victorian age, a time filled with disease, poverty, gaslights, fogs, and shadows. The Jack the Ripper Halloween tour is London’s most exciting tour – book your place here.

The London Dungeon

As one of the goriest experiences in London, you can’t miss out on the London Dungeon this October.

Relive London’s darkest moments and experience an era of the city’s most gruelling tales of murder and carnage with sights, smells, and sounds. You will be able to meet funny, frightening characters like judges, torturers, executioners, and local legends.

Hear their terrifying stories and get lured into the past. Furthermore, you will have to be alert as every nook and cranny of the dungeon is occupied by surprises. You are forewarned!
