A London Halloween in Pictures!

Halloween in London is special. People decorate their windows with skulls, monsters, pumpkins, cobwebs and what not. There are house parties, club parties, university parties, and the roads themselves turn into a huge party maze. It’s a labryinth of zombies, dead brides, witches and creative weirdos. There are tons of ‘scary’ special events like a nightly stroll under dinosaur skeletons at the Natural History Museum. But since that was not in London proper, it got quickly replaced by the shrieking revelry at central London. So, here is Halloween – London style!
