Halloween has become one of the world’s most vibrant holidays; from its roots in Latin American culture, it has blossomed into a phenomena characterised by bright lights, spooky shenanigans and elaborate parties. London is a city that already features many unique venues that amp it up when it comes to this spooky time of year, but with the big night drawing closer, it can be hard to pinpoint the best parties to choose from. Luckily, our friends at DesignMyNight have put together a guide to the UK’s most spine-tingling Halloween destinations.
This dark circus is a stylish choice, with an American Horror Story-esque theme filled to the brim with ghoulish performers and death-defying acrobatics. Following a traditional circus bill, you'll be immersed in the macabre, encountering caged curiosities, sword swallowers and sideshow oddities all while sipping on themed cocktails. There’s a pretty strict dress code, so make sure to do your best impression of a tragic clown, lion tamer or queen of the trapeze.
