Planning a memorable Halloween night in London can be tricky, but this Halloween Pub Crawl with Afterparty promises a lively, fun-filled experience in the heart of the city’s West End. We haven’t joined it ourselves, but from detailed reviews and the tour outline, it’s clear that this event offers a perfect blend of socializing, dancing, and spooky fun.
What we love about this experience is the organized itinerary that takes you through four different venues, each offering free entry, welcome shots, and drink deals, which helps keep costs down while maximizing fun. The live music and DJ sets keep energy high into the early hours, and meeting like-minded party-goers in costume makes the whole night feel like one giant, costume-clad celebration. Plus, the flexible end time means you can dance late into the night without feeling rushed.
A potential consideration is that additional drinks are not included, so your total spend could increase if you’re planning to indulge heavily. Also, it’s a big group event, so if you prefer intimate or quieter nights, this might not suit you best. That said, it’s a fantastic choice for travelers wanting to embrace the Halloween spirit with a vibrant crowd in central London.
This pub crawl is ideal for groups of friends, solo travelers looking to meet people, or anyone who loves dressing up and dancing to live music. If you’re after a fun, structured, and budget-friendly way to celebrate Halloween, it’s hard to beat.

What to Expect from the London Halloween Pub Crawl
This tour is designed to make the most of London’s lively West End nightlife during Halloween. The day begins with meeting your hosts at The Munster Tavern, a relaxed spot where you can show off your costumes, mingle, and get acquainted with fellow revelers. The hosts are identifiable by their orange lanyards, making them easy to spot. From there, you’ll set out into the night, with the iconic glow of London’s lights guiding your way.
Each of the four venues offers something different, but all provide free entry, which is a great way to save money while enjoying the festivities. Expect a series of progressively busier and louder venues, each adding to the excitement. The first stop is more laid-back, perfect for showing off your costumes and socializing, while the subsequent venues ramp up the energy with live music and themed DJ sets.

Dress code is generally ‘smart casual,’ so avoid sports tops, tracksuits, or flip-flops. Costumes are highly encouraged, and many guests arrive fully dressed up, adding to the festive atmosphere. Bring a valid ID—passport or driver’s license—as student cards aren’t accepted, and ID checks are likely.
It’s recommended to bring cash or a card for additional drinks or snacks at each venue, since only what’s included in the package is covered by the ticket price. Staying hydrated and pacing yourself will help you enjoy the night longer.

Why This Tour Stands Out
The structured nature of this pub crawl is a big plus—covering four venues in one night means less hassle figuring out where to go and more time enjoying the party. The inclusion of welcome shots and drink deals makes it budget-friendly, especially for groups or solo travelers wanting to meet new friends.
Guests often mention the welcoming atmosphere and the lively music — a perfect combination for those who love dancing and costume parties. The option to stay late and dance to live music is a highlight that sets this experience apart from more typical pub nights.

Who Should Consider This Experience
This pub crawl is best suited for young adults, groups of friends, or solo travelers eager to celebrate Halloween with a lively crowd. It’s especially ideal for costume lovers and those who enjoy dancing and music. If you prefer quiet nights or intimate venues, this may not be the best fit.
It’s also perfect for travelers on a budget, given the included free entries and drink deals, making it a cost-effective way to enjoy London’s nightlife during a spooky season.
