After Christmas, Halloween is the biggest holiday in London. It has so much more going for it than trick-or-treating. Kids love dressing up, pumpkin carving and spooky outfits are mandatory at this time. Whether children are dog lovers, disco babes, pumpkin pickers or even trainee witches, there are loads of wicked things to do in London for them in London.
Dark Arts Season at the Harry Potter Studios

Halloween at KidZania
Until 6 Nov, Shepherd’s Bush
Kidzania is kicking off Halloween with its ‘Festival of Fright’ for those between the ages of 4 to 14 to unleash their inner zombies. The cobbles of KidZanis’s inner city street will be filled with spooky characters and clever clues for children to interact with. Kids can work their way through different spooky spots to find materials to write a best-selling ghost story, or they can show off their most monstrous move on Halloween.
