Your guide to the best stuff to do, see, eat and drink across London during October
October in London means the arrival of autumn, but don’t hibernate indoors – there’s way too much going on for that. Take a long, or short, walk that ends with Sunday lunch at one of London’s best pubs with a fire, or for something altogether spookier, there’s Halloween to look forward to, which means parties and fancy dress galore. Summer might be over, but October is packed with new openings , so get stuck in to our list of the best events and happenings throughout the month.
Halloween in London
If you’re going to celebrate Halloween (Saturday October 31 2015) this year, we suggest you go all out. Head down to your local costume shop and prepare to scare at one of the capital’s best Halloween parties. Plan your fancy dress in advance, however – a pink bunny suit just won’t cut it at this time of year.
Museums at Night
If the mention of a museum visit makes you think of stuffy exhibitions and school trips, think again. ‘Museums at Night’ usually takes place across the UK in October, with a series of seriously special after-hours events at some of London’s best galleries, museums and attractions.
