When is Halloween 2026 in London?

Halloween 2026 falls on Saturday 31 October. Because it lands on a Saturday, most London nightclubs run Halloween events across the whole weekend — Thursday 29th, Friday 30th and Saturday 31st October — with the Saturday itself being the busiest and most expensive night of the year.

What are the best Halloween clubs in London?

Tape London, Cirque Le Soir, The Box Soho, Tabu London, Cuckoo Club, Maddox Club, London Reign, Luxx Club, Selene London, Dear Darling Mayfair and Scotch of St James all run major Halloween events. Cirque Le Soir is the standout for elaborate themed production, while Tape London draws the biggest celebrity crowd.

How much does a Halloween table cost in London?

Most Mayfair and Soho clubs start at a £1,000 minimum spend for a standard table and £2,000 for a VIP table. The Box Soho is higher at £1,500 standard and £3,000 VIP. Halloween minimums often run above the standard rate because it is peak season, and the exact figure depends on the night, your group size and table position.

How far in advance should I book a London club for Halloween?

Book at least three to four weeks ahead. Halloween is the busiest night in the London clubbing calendar and the best tables at venues like Tape and Cirque Le Soir sell out well before the week itself. Leaving it to the final few days usually means a higher minimum spend or a worse table position.

Can you get on a guestlist for Halloween in London?

Yes, though Halloween guestlists are tighter than a normal weekend. Most London club guestlists are reserved for all-female groups or groups with a female majority, and they typically close earlier on Halloween because of demand. Table bookings are the reliable route to guaranteed entry for mixed groups and gents.

Can you wear a Halloween costume to a London nightclub?

Yes, but the dress code still applies. Mayfair clubs expect smart, elegant attire, so costumes need to work within that — think a well-executed themed look rather than a full novelty outfit. Masks that cover your face are usually asked to be removed at the door for ID checks, and trainers, sportswear and overly casual costumes will be turned away.

The Best Halloween Clubs in London 2026: Parties, Tables & Guestlist

Halloween is the single biggest night in the London clubbing calendar, and Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday 31 October — the best possible draw. When Halloween lands mid-week, clubs split their events awkwardly across the nearest weekend. In 2026 they don't have to. Expect Thursday 29th, Friday 30th and Saturday 31st October to all run as full Halloween nights, with the Saturday itself being the busiest, most expensive and hardest to book night of the year.

This guide covers the best Halloween clubs in London for 2026 — what each venue does differently, real table minimums, dress code, and how early you need to move.

Minimum spends above are standard rates. Halloween typically runs above these because it is peak season — the final figure depends on the night, group size and table position.

Tape London

Tape is the biggest name on this list and the most reliable celebrity draw in Mayfair. It hosts around F1 weekends, Gumball 3000 and Wireless, and Halloween gets the same treatment: a full redress of the room, a new theme each year, themed champagne shows, and performances from fire performers, aerialists and the Tape Girls.

The crowd is international — models, socialites, and a heavily dressed-up room on Halloween specifically. Music is hip-hop, RnB and Afrobeats.

Tape is also the fastest venue on this list to sell out for Halloween. Tables start at a £1,000 minimum spend, VIP at £2,000, and the club usually runs more than one Halloween night. Get a Tape London booking in early — this is the venue where late enquiries most often come back fully booked.

Cirque Le Soir

If you only care about the theme, Cirque Le Soir is the best Halloween club in London. The venue already runs a permanent creepy-carnival concept, so Halloween is the one night a year the whole room is pointed in its natural direction — and it goes further than anywhere else in the city.

Past years have run everything from shopping-mall murder mysteries to high-school slasher concepts, with full prop builds, costumed performers and a photo booth. The nightly show programme is the strongest in London on a normal weekend; on Halloween it's the main event.

Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. Cirque is small, which is exactly why it sells out — reach out for a Cirque Le Soir booking as early as you can.

The Box Soho

The Box is the outlier here and the reason it belongs on a Halloween list: it is a cabaret venue first and a nightclub second. The performance programme is deliberately provocative year-round, and Halloween is when that lands hardest — the theming suits the room instead of being bolted onto it.

It runs later than most of Mayfair and attracts a crowd that has usually been somewhere else first. It's also the most expensive room on this list: tables from £1,500, VIP from £3,000.

If you want a Halloween night that isn't just a themed club night, get a The Box booking.

Tabu London

Tabu is the most photographed room in Mayfair and it leans into that on Halloween. Past themes have included a full insane-asylum build, and the club commits properly — strobes, smoke, LED signage, floating Dom Pérignon presentations and bottle presenters working the floor all night.

It's a strong choice if you want the production and the photos without Cirque's horror-carnival intensity. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. Book a Tabu London table ahead of the weekend.

Cuckoo Club

Cuckoo runs a two-floor Halloween extravaganza and has the most sociable crowd of any venue here. That's the actual selling point — the room mixes, which most Mayfair clubs don't, so it's the easiest Halloween night for a group that wants to meet people rather than sit at a table.

Both floors get decorated, the costume standard is high, and the atmosphere is more vibrant than exclusive. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. Space across two floors means slightly better availability, but it still books out — sort a Cuckoo Club booking in advance.

Maddox Club

Maddox is the members-club option: smaller, darker and more intimate than the big rooms, with a Mayfair regulars crowd rather than a tourist one. Halloween here is less about prop builds and more about atmosphere — it's the pick if you want a proper night out without a queue of people in novelty costumes.

Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. Get a Maddox Club booking sorted early, because the room is genuinely small.

London Reign

Reign is the biggest space on this list and the closest thing London has to an American-style megaclub. Its Halloween production values are the reason it's here — past themes have run from Call of Duty to Pharaoh's Curse, and the scale means it can build things the smaller Mayfair rooms physically can't.

Expect big champagne shows, a glamorous room and commercial, hip-hop and RnB across the night. Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. Book a London Reign table ahead of Halloween weekend.

Luxx Club

Luxx on Berkeley Street is the Afrobeats-forward pick, with commercial and RnB filling out the night. It's a good middle option for Halloween — properly done theming and a strong crowd, without the booking pressure of Tape or Cirque.

Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. Arrange a Luxx Club booking for the weekend.

Selene London

Selene is the newest room here, just off Oxford Street. Because it's newer, it's usually the most available venue on Halloween weekend — worth knowing if you've left booking late and the Mayfair rooms have gone.

Hip-hop and RnB, a younger crowd, tables from £1,000 and VIP from £2,000. Get a Selene London booking.

Dear Darling Mayfair

Dear Darling on Jermyn Street leans more house than the rest of this list, with hip-hop and RnB alongside. The crowd is stylish and slightly older, and Halloween here is more of a dressed-up party than a horror production.

Tables from £1,000, VIP from £2,000. Sort a Dear Darling booking in advance.

Scotch of St James

Scotch is the historic room — a genuine piece of London music history in Masons Yard, and the most characterful space on this list. Open-format music covering house, hip-hop, RnB, pop and commercial means it's the safest bet for a mixed group with different tastes.

It's also the most accessible on price: tables from £1,000, VIP from £1,500. Book a Scotch of St James table.

What to Expect on Halloween Weekend in London

Dress code still applies. Every venue on this list requires smart, elegant attire, and Halloween doesn't suspend that. A well-executed themed look works; a full novelty costume, trainers or sportswear will be turned away at the door. Face-covering masks are generally fine inside but you'll be asked to remove them for ID checks on entry.

Expect higher minimums. Halloween is peak season. Standard minimum spends are the floor, not the price — the Saturday 31st in particular will run above a normal weekend rate at every venue here.

Guestlists are tighter. Most London club guestlists are reserved for all-female groups or female-majority groups, and on Halloween they close earlier than usual. For mixed groups and gents, a table is the only reliable route to guaranteed entry.

Arrive earlier than usual. Doors get busy well before midnight on Halloween. If you're on a guestlist, treat the stated cut-off as firm rather than flexible.

Booking Halloween 2026

With Halloween 2026 landing on Saturday 31 October, demand is concentrated on a single night in a way it isn't in most years. The venues that go first are Tape London and Cirque Le Soir, usually several weeks out. Three to four weeks of lead time is the realistic minimum for a good table; anything inside the final week means taking what's left.

Tell us your venue, date, group size and whether you want a table or guestlist, and we'll come back with what's actually available and a minimum spend quote for your group. For any venue on this list, start with a London nightclub booking and we'll sort the rest.
