The Best Halloween Clubs in London 2026: Parties, Tables & Guestlist
, in Events·7 min read
Request to book a table or join a guestlist for the most exclusive London nightclubs.
Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October (Time Out's Halloween in London guide has the date), so the biggest costume night of the year lands on the busiest clubbing night of the week. Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October are the Halloween weekend at every club below, with the Saturday the hardest and most expensive night to book.
This guide covers the London clubs we book for Halloween 2026: where each one is, which nights it is open around Halloween, what tables cost on a normal weekend, and how early to move. No club on this list had announced its 2026 Halloween theme or line-up when we refreshed this guide; Mayfair clubs usually confirm those in mid-October, and we pass them on with every enquiry once they are out.

The nights shown are each club's regular opening nights in Halloween week, not announced Halloween events. The minimums are normal weekend rates: Halloween runs above them, and the final figure depends on the night, your group size and the table position.
Tape London
Tape on Hanover Square is the most reliable celebrity draw in Mayfair, with hip-hop, RnB and Afrobeats and a heavily dressed-up room at Halloween. It opens on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October, so Halloween night itself is one of its regular nights. It is also the fastest club on this list to sell out: tables start from a £1,000 minimum spend and VIP from £2,000 on a normal weekend, and late Halloween enquiries here are the ones most often turned down. Our Tape London Halloween 2026 guide covers entry in detail.
Cirque Le Soir
If the theme matters most, Cirque Le Soir on Ganton Street is the natural Halloween club: its year-round concept is circus theatre, with performers working the room alongside the DJs, so Halloween suits it without a rebuild. It opens on Wednesday 28, Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October. The room is small, which is why it sells out. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. See our Cirque Le Soir Halloween 2026 guide.
The Box
The Box on Walker's Court is a cabaret venue first and a nightclub second, and its provocative performance programme is the reason it belongs on a Halloween list. Time Out ranks it among the best clubs in London. It runs Wednesday to Saturday, 10pm to 3am, and is the most expensive room here: tables from £1,500, VIP from £3,000. More in our The Box Halloween 2026 guide.
Maddox Club
Maddox on Mill Street is the members'-club option: smaller and darker than the big rooms, with a Mayfair regulars crowd and hip-hop, RnB and house. Halloween here is about atmosphere more than props. It opens Thursday 29 to Saturday 31 October, and its late room, Green Room by Maddox, runs from 2am to 6am on the same nights. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. See our Maddox Halloween 2026 guide.
London Reign
Reign on Piccadilly is the biggest room on this list, built around champagne shows and production, with hip-hop, RnB and commercial music. Its scale is what makes it a Halloween pick. It opens Thursday 29 to Saturday 31 October. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000.
Selene London
Selene on Winsley Street, just north of Oxford Street, is an Ancient Greece-themed room with hip-hop and RnB. As a newer club it is often the one with tables left when the Mayfair rooms have gone, which is worth knowing if you are booking late. It opens Thursday 29 to Saturday 31 October and Sunday 1 November. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. See our Selene Halloween 2026 guide.
Dear Darling
Dear Darling on Jermyn Street plays house upstairs and hip-hop downstairs to a stylish, slightly older crowd, and Halloween here is a dressed-up party rather than a horror production. It opens from Thursday 29 October to Sunday 1 November. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000.
Scotch of St James
Scotch in Mason's Yard is the historic room on this list, with open-format music running to 5am, which makes it the safest bet for a group with mixed tastes. It opens Thursday 29 to Saturday 31 October and runs no standard guestlist, so plan on a table: from £1,000, VIP from £1,500, the lowest VIP minimum here. See our Scotch Halloween 2026 guide.
Tabu and Cuckoo Club: Renamed
Two clubs that were on this list last year now trade under new names, and we book both: Rumour and 99 Regent Street.
- Tabu is now Rumour, at the same address, 1 Dover Street. Public club listings show its opening on Wednesday 7 October 2026, and no Halloween 2026 event has been announced for it. Our Tabu Halloween page explains what is known.
- Cuckoo Club is now 99 Regent Street, in the same Swallow Street building. No Halloween 2026 event has been announced for it. See our Cuckoo Club Halloween page.
Luxx Club on Berkeley Street, also on last year's list, has closed.
What to Expect on Halloween Weekend
The dress code still applies. Every club above asks for smart, elegant dress, and Halloween does not suspend it. A polished themed look gets in; full-face masks, props, replica weapons and casual costumes over trainers are the usual refusals. Expect to remove any mask for the ID check. Our London club dress code guide covers the basics.
Minimums run higher. Halloween is peak season, and Saturday 31 October will run above a normal weekend rate at every club here. Our guide to Mayfair table prices explains how minimums work.
Guestlists close earlier. Where a club runs a guestlist it is for all-female or female-majority groups, and on Halloween it fills sooner than usual. Mixed groups and groups of men should plan on a table. More in our London guestlist guide.
Arrive by midnight. Doors open around 11pm (10pm at The Box) and queues peak shortly after midnight. The clocks go back a week earlier, at 2am on Sunday 25 October, so there is no extra hour on Halloween itself.
For the big ticketed Halloween raves and warehouse parties outside the West End, Time Out keeps a running list of Halloween club nights in London.
Booking Halloween 2026
With Halloween on a Saturday, demand piles onto one night. Tape and Cirque Le Soir go first, usually several weeks out, and three to four weeks is the realistic lead time for a good table anywhere on this list; inside the final week you take what is left.
Tell us the club, the night, your group size and whether you want a table or guestlist through London nightclub bookings, and we will come back with what is available and a minimum spend quote for your group.
