Halloween is coming, and London's getting spooky.
Many residents, particularly in west London, are going all-out to decorate their homes and gardens, with pumpkins, ghouls, witches and tarantulas lining the stoops and streets.
Here are a few of the scariest houses we found on a 22 October 2026 wander through Kensington, Holland Park and Notting Hill. More displays were being installed even as we explored, so it'll be quite the visual feast come Halloween itself.
