Halloween in London is all about choosing your poison: a packed queer dancefloor, a drag show down the pub or a party that doesn’t know when to call it a night. GLL’s guide rounds up the LGBTQ+ events worth getting dressed for, with dates, times, venues and ticket links, from The Yard Soho’s Spooky Grave Yard to DILF London’s Dark Rites Masquerade and BEEFMINCE’s SPOOKMINCE. We keep it year-free and refresh it each autumn, so check venue and ticket pages for the latest details before you head out.
