Halloween night in Shoreditch

Every room between Old Street and Brick Lane runs something, most of it walk up and cheap before eleven. The night buses run all night and the Overground does not.

What to expect

Shoreditch on Halloween is less an event than a condition: every bar on the strip runs something, the queues form by nine, and the streets between Old Street and Brick Lane fill with people in costume moving between them.

Worth knowing

Most venues charge on the door on the night even when they are free the rest of the year, and several switch to advance tickets only. Decide where you are going before you arrive; wandering and hoping is how people spend the night in queues.

Getting there

Old Street, Shoreditch High Street and Liverpool Street are all walkable from the middle of it. The Night Tube runs on the Central and Northern lines if the 31st falls on a Friday or Saturday. The Shoreditch page has the rest of what is on nearby.
