Choose the shape of your Halloween
Start with the hours you actually want to be out.
A river departure is a fixed appointment; a late club session suits a different group. Agree the music, age requirements and total budget before buying separately.
Costumes can be simple, but should work with walking, queues and the venue’s admission rules.
Afternoon: Halloween on the Thames
Fever lists the Dutch Master party on 31 October: boarding at 12:30, departure at 13:00 and an approximate 17:00 return at Tower Millennium Pier.
The event is 18+ and requires photo ID. Treat departure as the deadline; leave time to locate the correct pier.
Food and drinks are separate purchases.
03Late night: DUO Clapham
The live selector for Halloween House Party shows 31 October at 22:00.
The venue map identifies DUO Clapham, 15–16 Lendal Terrace. Its advertised music mixes R&B, hip-hop, pop and party favourites.
Check the selected ticket’s minimum age, last admission and finish before planning the return; this guide does not infer them from the start time.
04Prefer a concert? Duran Duran at The O2
The O2 confirms a Halloween special on 31 October with 18:30 doors and tickets through its official AXS route.
Choose this if the band is the main reason to go. An arena ticket and a club ticket are different products; compare the experience as well as the headline price.
05Book together, leave together
Make one shared plan for the exact date, entrance and meeting point.
Confirm whether group offers cover everyone and whether a booking is transferable. Save each person’s ticket before leaving and agree a fallback meeting point if phones run low.
Recheck transport on the day; a late start does not guarantee an all-night service on your route.
Make the plan resilient
A good London plan still works when timing, weather or capacity changes.
Anchor
Choose one timed or high-priority activity.
Booking
Confirm the organiser, exact entrance and admission conditions.
Buffer
Allow for queues, security and cross-city travel.
Alternative
Keep one nearby indoor or untimed option.
