London’s nights have always shimmered with a certain mischief a whisper beneath the lamplight, a flicker of danger in a perfectly dressed crowd. But on Halloween, the city sheds its civility altogether. Behind its grand facades and velvet ropes, Mayfair manors, Covent Garden townhouses, and clandestine rooftops transform into portals of seduction, spectacle, and shadow.
From haunted circuses to forest enchantments, macabre carnivals to mezcal-fuelled revelries, this is Arcadia’s handpicked guide to the most intoxicating nights of the season. Each one promises transformation as London becomes the stage for its own dark fairytale.
