Hallooween decorations at Kew Gardens. Photo: Amit Cotler Kew Gardens, one of London's most impressive parks, is normally a vast botanical garden spanning hundreds of acres along the River Thames, which is very popular during the day. But at night, and only on these days, there is a "Halloween Trail" that comes to life after dark, full of hidden, scary, and entertaining surprises.

Please note that the event is suitable for the whole family, including children, and tickets must be booked in advance for one of the three rounds during the evening, which are designed to prevent particularly large crowds.
Arriving by car is not recommended due to the very heavy traffic in the area. You can get there by taking the London Underground from the city center (District Line) to Kew Gardens station or by taking the Overground train on the Mildmay Line to the same station.
The entrance to the event is through Kew Gardens Elizabeth Gate, which is about a ten-minute walk from the train station.
Halloween at Kew runs only until Sunday, November 2nd. Admission costs £18.50-£22 per visitor.
