This October, Leadenhall Market transforms into one of the City’s most atmospheric Halloween destinations, with a full line-up of spooky tours, installations and creative workshops! Here’s what’s on this month:

Spooky Guided Walks

Back by popular demand, the Spooky Guilded Walks by City of London Guides are back! Uncover the darker side of Leadenhall’s history, from witchcraft and murder to mysterious beasts, explore sinister tales hidden in the Market’s cobbled alleyways.

📅 Every Wednesday and Friday, 8 – 31 October
⏰ 6.30pm – 8pm
🎟️ Tickets must be booked in advance here

 Professor Cephalus Returns

Look up… if you dare! Our famous six-metre purple tentacles, known as Professor Cephalus, will once again burst through the Victorian windows of Leadenhall from Tuesday 14 October. This giant installation has become a much-loved Halloween tradition – and the perfect free photo spot.
