Another week of Halloween fun despite the dodgy weather. Nice to see some familiar faces this weekend, we love the fact that there are so many of you who come back to us year after year! That said its also great to meet some new people as well. Also just to say a massive thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to leave us a review, we really do appreciate them.
(Just going to leave a few here so you see all the nice things people have said about us!!) Last year we created a fabulous Dicken's themed immersive Christmas tour around the winding alleys of Bank, It was going to be amazing and then Omicron happened, and well you know the rest! This year we are attempting to bring it back, bigger, better and more Peculiar than ever! Very much hope you can join us Dec 4th-15th Tickets on sale now! click here for booking infoAfter all that planning and rehersing we have finally kicked off this years edition of 'Haunted Hampstead'. Massive thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend (Especially those who braved the rain on sunday!) We really enjoyed meeting you all and we hope you all had as much fun as we did navigating the wilds of NW3! for anyone who would like to join us one evening there are still one or two tickets left, click HERE for info. Another thing we have really been loving about this years edition of 'Haunted Hampstead' is our new pub stop 'The old white Bear' which opened earlier this year (Although Veteren Hampstead residents will be quick to point out that there had been a pub on that site for many years previously until it closed its doors in 2014.) The staff have been super friendly and welcoming, plus its a wonderfully cosy tradtional little pub which has a great drink selection and a roaring open fireplace, perfect for those chilly autumn nights. Make sure you check it out if you happen to be passing by www.theoldwhitebearhampstead.co.uk/

siwan HillLocal resident Siwan Hill is 249 years old and has lived in Hampstead since it was (mostly) just fields. She kindly takes it upon herself to produce the Hampstead Halloween pub tour each year in order to ensure a fresh supply of meat for the horned god. For legend hath it if his infernal majesty is not supplied with an annual victim then the blue plaques will leave Hampstead and the house prices will tumble... As Halloween is getting closer and lots of you quite understandably have contacted us for more information on the Halloween pub tour. If you do drop us a query we will always take trouble to respond but here are the answers to a few of the frequently asked questions..... is the route the same as previous years?NO. Although we do keep a few old favourites, the route, the stories and starting point Change each year, so please read the ticket information to make sure you don't turn up at the wrong place! (Although if you do we will obviously do our best to try and catch you to the rest of the group.) is it dog friendly?![]() YES. we love a well behaved dog. It is a walk after all, and all of the pubs we visit have gardens, although you may want to keep your pooch on a lead if their excitable, as we do walk across part of Hampstead heath in the dark and we also have actors popping up and doing spooky things at various points along the route. Can i bring my teenager?16 and 17 year olds are welcome if accompanied by a parent or guardian. What should i wear?It is Halloween so please feel free to fancy dress your heart out, however do bear in mind you are going for a walk in England in October: The weather as we all know can be quite unpredicable, so Please wear comfortable shoes and either bring a jacket or get some layers on under that costume! if I've booked but cannot attend can I get a refund?We will refund you if cancel a booking on up to 48 hours prior to the scheduled time of the event.
If you need to cancel a booking at less than 48 hours before the event date, you will not be entitled to reimbursement. However the booking may be transferred to the next suitable date, or to another person at no additional cost (e.g. you may find a friend to take your place on the experience and ask them for the money). If we have to cancel an event for any reason Peculiar London will refund in full those who had purchased tickets prior to its cancellation. A few of you lovely people have messaged us in the last couple of days to ask whether we will be doing Halloween this year, the answer is YES! Of course! Absolutely! We have been a little bit slow off the mark this time, but I can promise you we are working very hard to bring you a fabulous tour for this year, there will be some old favourites and some bits which are brand new, watch this space for further details.....
