Running from 16th October to 1st November, the experience offers daylight, twilight and moonlight sessions, so you can dial the scare factor up or down to suit the whole family.

Explore the sinister side of one of London's most notorious landmarks as Halloween takes over the Tower from 24th October to 1st November. The family-friendly experience comes included with regular entry, priced from £37 for adults and £18.50 for children (free under 5), while members can visit free.

Follow mysterious clues, listen for distant roars and catch wandering spirits gathering at the forge during three scheduled appearances each day.

Whether you're in Chelsea, Richmond or Greenwich, check out your local Sticks'n'Sushi Kids Masterclass this Halloween. They're hosting themed specials of their popular event, where your little ones will learn how to prepare delicious bites.

Expert chefs will guide them through the process of creating hosomaki rolls, nigiri and more, before they eat their tasty bites. This is aimed at ages seven to 13, and everyone will get a bandana and certificate to take home.

Unearth an ancient evil at The London Dungeon on the South Bank, where Curse of the Mummy brings a sinister Victorian legend to life from 17th October to 1st November. Online tickets start from £27 for adults and £22 for children, and include the limited-run Halloween show alongside 13 interactive experiences, live actors, immersive sets and thrilling rides.

Located beside the London Eye at County Hall, this is your chance to discover the fate of those who disturbed the Unlucky Mummy, assuming you avoid taking the curse home.

This Halloween, The Milestone Hotel & Residences is rolling out a delightfully spooky spin on its iconic Afternoon Tea - just for little monsters. From the 27th of October to the 2nd of November, children under 12 can tuck into a frightfully fun feast of sweet and savoury delights in one of Kensington's most elegant settings. Think dainty sandwiches filled with Wiltshire ham, peanut butter and jam, and Bea Tollman's famous chicken mayonnaise, followed by freshly baked scones piled high with Cornish clotted cream and homemade strawberry preserve.

Of course, no Halloween tea would be complete without some ghoulishly good treats - and this one delivers in style. Kids can sink their fangs into a pumpkin spice and white chocolate blondie, dark chocolate and raspberry choux, and a candy apple macaron. It's £45 per child for this magical afternoon of sugar, smiles, and spooky indulgence.

Hobbledown Heath in West London is opening up its field of pumpkins for the autumn season – and invites you to come and search for the perfect one to take home.

A fun daytime party at the Heathcote & Star in Leyton, this cinema event promises a range of silly, spooky films for the whole family to enjoy.

There's nothing better than pumpkin carving for a classic Halloween activity, and The Plough in Dulwich are hosting a kids' session on the 31st.

They'll get the chance to design and carve their very own pumpkin to take home, with everything they need included in the ticket price.

Gather your mini ghosts and little goblins for a spook-tacular morning of trick-or-treating along Garratt Lane at the Earlsfield Halloween Hunt. This neighbourhood trail transforms the local high street into a friendly, pumpkin-lit playground for kids and their families.

Little ones can kick off the adventure by picking up a hunt map at 'Halloween HQ' - Halfway House - before following clues, collecting hidden letters, and gathering sweet treats from welcoming local shopkeepers. Crack the final secret code, head back to HQ, and claim a mystery prize to cap off a fun-filled morning of community spirit and costume dress-up.

From the 24th October Art'otel London is hosting Kids Halloween Movie Screenings to keep the little ones entertained this half term and get them excited to celebrate all their favourite monsters. 

Head to this cosy cinema room with the whole family in tow and watch a classic Halloween flick, from Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas to Coco and The Book of Life.

For an event that's devilishly delicious, head to The Little Slice Pizza Class at Pizza Pilgrims Canary Wharf. This is aimed at kids aged six and above, giving them the chance to create their very own margherita with a choice of toppings, guided by expert chefs.

They'll be rolling and stretching their dough before it's cooked to perfection ready for them to eat, accompanied by a soft drink and ice cream, and they can even decorate a chef hat and pizza box to take home.
