Halloween in London

Two palaces over half term, ghost tours at the Royal Observatory in its last week before a long closure, a scare-free week of wetland folklore in Barnes, a month of selected dates at the theme park inside the London boundary — and, out past the boroughs in Watford, a hundred pumpkins over the Great Hall for seven weeks. Each date as the organiser gave it, and where we read it.
