This year Covent Garden is inviting visitors to a display of over 200 pumpkins,
squashes and gourds in the Market Building where you can marvel at their
grotesque shapes and buy one to take home and carve. Or you can join an
outdoor walking tour starting at the Royal Opera House and hear tales of
murderous actors, creepy theatre ghosts, and how a dark criminal underworld
develop when the theatres first arrived.

guide past London’s oldest and most well-known sights such as the Tower of
London, Westminster Cathedral, and the House of Parliament. Be prepared to
hear of restless spirits, pass by chilling sites of murder, execution, and torture,
and learn of the city’s dark history.
