Rumour (Formerly Tabu) Halloween 2026: Saturday 31 October

Rumour, formerly Tabu London, is open on Halloween 2026. Halloween falls on Saturday 31 October, one of Rumour's four regular nights (Wednesday to Saturday, 11pm to 4am), so the room at 1 Dover Street, Mayfair, is open as usual, and so is Friday 30 October. No Halloween theme, line-up or ticketed event has been announced for Rumour, so treat anything advertised as a "Tabu Halloween party" with caution. We book Rumour directly: see the Rumour booking page.

Why book early this year

Rumour is one room of about 200, built around red velvet booths, so there are only a small number of tables and they are the best positions in the room. Halloween on a Saturday is the busiest combination of the year. If your group wants a booth on the 31st, tell us the headcount now; the Friday is the easier night if the Saturday is gone.

What the room is like

Deep red velvet booths, dark panelling, a chandelier and low warm lighting, with open-format music: hip hop, RnB and house, read to the room. It is an intimate, dressed-up night rather than a big production, which suits a group that wants to sit together and dance near its own booth. The no-photography rule keeps the night in the room.

Halloween at Tabu in 2025 (history)

This page previously covered the Tabu London Halloween party 2025. In 2025 the club traded as Tabu, with a Tokyo-inspired room and hip-hop and RnB. That was last year under the old name; Rumour is a full rebrand of the same space under the same ownership.

Other Halloween nights nearby

99 Regent Street, formerly the Cuckoo Club, is also open on Halloween with both floors running, a short walk away by Piccadilly Circus. For more options side by side, see the best Halloween clubs in London, Maddox Halloween 2026 and Scotch of St James Halloween 2026.

Booking Halloween 2026 in Mayfair: what holds every year

• Book early. Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, the busiest possible combination. The best tables go first, and minimum spends on Saturday 31 October can run above a normal weekend. Our guide to Mayfair table prices explains how minimums work.
• Costumes still meet a dress code. Mayfair doors keep their smart rules on Halloween. A polished themed look gets in; full-face masks, props, replica weapons and casual costumes over trainers are the usual refusals. See the London club dress code guide.
• Arrive by midnight. Doors open at 11pm and queues peak shortly after midnight. Arriving early with a confirmed booking is the easiest night.
• Getting home. The Saturday Night Tube runs on the Piccadilly, Victoria and Jubilee lines through Piccadilly Circus and Green Park. The clocks go back a week earlier, at 2am on Sunday 25 October, so there is no extra hour on Halloween itself.
