Hi everyone!

Welcome back to our monthly blog. We hope you all had a good Summer! October in London means Autumn is here and full of fun things to do including World Zombie Day in Bloomsbury, near the Alhambra Hotel in Kings Cross, St Pancras.

Here is the latest London events information for October 2019. Hope you like it!

1. London Film Festival:

Wednesday October 2 2019 – Sunday October 13 2019

This October sees the 63rd BFI London Film Festival, undoubtedly the capital’s – the UK’s – biggest celebration of international cinema from the past year.

2. World Zombie Day: Bloomsbury

Saturday October 5 2019

Celebrate Halloween early at this apocalyptic charity walk where you can run around town dressed like a zombie. Break out your best fake blood and white face paint so you can look the part along with the other hoards of Londoners who’ll take to streets lusting after brains. As well as getting to look silly, the walk will also give you the chance to do a little good and raise money for homeless charity Shelter from the Storm.

3. Frieze London 2019: Regent’s Park

Friday October 4 2019 – Sunday October 6 2019

Frieze London, returns for another year in Regent’s Park. For four days the world’s best contemporary art galleries all come together under one giant marquee roof, offering visitors the chance to either line up some serious purchases or just do some serious art window shopping. For hardcore art fans, there’s nothing that beats the fun of the Frieze art fair, where famous names rub against the up-and-coming stars of tomorrow.  But don’t limit yourself to just browsing the artworks. Along with the bountiful booths, Frieze runs a series of talks, tours, performances and the off-site Frieze Music.

5. Halloween in London: 31st October

When the days are a-darkenin’, we’ve started walking face-first into spider webs again and the shops are expecting an imminent order of pumpkin-related merchandise, it can only mean one thing: Halloween, Thursday October 31 2019, is almost upon us. Dust off your witch’s hat, rinse those vampire fangs and start honing your prosthetic-application skills, as this year London’s got one hell of a party line up.
