Well, we had to, didn’t we? Seeing as how we mention zombies nearly every day, we could hardly let Halloween pass by without some kind of tribute. (And, yes, we know it’s more properly written as Hallowe’en, but apostrophes and search engines mix about as …
As promised we’ve been hunting around to try and find you a few things to do this Halloween, and we thought we’d better try and cover all the ‘spooky’ London walks you’ve got to choose from. London Walks has a good reputation as one of …
