Halloween London highgate cemetary
A darkness is gathering on the edge of town. In Epping Forest and that patch of trees outside of Heathrow, something is stirring, and out in the mist mournfully gathered across Hampstead Heath a blood-curdling scream is heard. Halloween night returns to London once more.

When we were kids Halloween was little more than an excuse to wear a bed sheet and head out round our estate to egg your best mates dad's car and demand money/treats off our neighbours. Now that they've decided to let us into pubs however, All Hallows has taken on an even more sinister meaning - in so far that we can now dress in sheets and get hammered at some party.

Nowhere in the UK does Halloween as well as London. From the plain cheesy to the hideously cool - there are glamourous masked balls, fancy-dress freak-outs, huge zombie-filled raves, Alice Cooper, and all sorts of people dressed as sexy vampires.
