October 25th 2007 09:30
There's no better time of the year than Halloween to explore the pulse-racing dark annals of London after dark.
In this London Diary Star exclusive, we show you the best places to get to grips with the eerie spectres of London's past by embarking upon a spine-tingling Halloween walk or a late night tour of a ghost-filled gallery or museum.
Here's our pick of the bunch:
Mr Horniman’s Halloween Torchlight Tour (Free)
Horniman Museum
100 London Road, London, SE23 73PQ

Hampton Court Tour £25
Hampton Court Palace, Surrey, East Molesey, KT8 9A
Take a tour of the famous Tudor Place, Henry VIII’s past residence...
50 Berkeley Square
London, W1.
Reputed to be the most haunted house in London, this infamous abode has stood empty since the late 19th century. Theories abound as to why this particular townhouse should have acquired such supernatural status. A series of disturbing incidents, including the impaling of an unfortunate sailor on the railings, didn’t help matters much and these days, despite the fact the ghost appears to be mellowing – he was last seen knocking a man’s spectacles off in 2001 - it is a major draw for ghoul seekers.
Happy trick or treating!!
