London's Best Halloween Events: The Coolest Things To Do, Eat, Drink And See

The Coolest Things To Do For Halloween In London

You're way past trick or treating, apple bobbing has lost its appeal and no one's throwing a fancy dress party... but you're still too young not to give a witches' teat about the whole thing.

The question of what the hell to do as a fully functioning adult on Halloween can be a toughie, but it turns out there's a whole load of fun stuff that doesn't involve annoying strangers or egging people's houses (who, us? never).

Check out our pick of the coolest things to do in London this Halloween:
