Spooktastic Halloween Events at Leadenhall Market

Giant tentacles will be snaking their way out of Leadenhall Market’s Victorian windows ready to catch visitors unawares, as part of the iconic Market’s 700-year anniversary Halloween celebrations.



The monster six metre appendages will appear in the run-up to Halloween – in time for half term – alongside a family treasure hunt and a new series of atmospheric walks around the cobbled walkways, run by City of London guides.



As the days draw in, Leadenhall Market’s dark side will be revealed in the ‘Burials, Bombs and Fantastic Beasts’ walking tours, taking place every Wednesday evening in October. Although Leadenhall Market itself dates back to 1321, there have been people living and working in this area since Roman times and the walks will explore some of their sinister history - with witchcraft, murder and death at almost every turn.
