The London Ghost Festival at various locations

Event: The London Ghost Festival at various locations
Date: October 22nd-31st

London has a reputation for being one of the world's most haunted cities and guests planning a trip to the capital in October will be able to explore the rumours and myths for themselves.

The London Ghost Festival is taking place on October 22nd-31st to coincide with Halloween and will give attendees the chance to learn more about the paranormal goings on that have supposedly taken place in the city over the years through a week of walks, talks, performances and night vigils.

Organisers of the event, which is now in its third year, promise a programme "that will curdle the blood" and it has been particularly well received in previous years, with Time Out magazine describing the tour as "fascinating stuff" and a reviewer from the Associated Press stating: "I really enjoyed the tour! You guys did a great job."

Guests staying at luxury London hotel the Rubens at the Palace who plan to attend the festival can ensure they are fully prepared for a night of frights by indulging in a three-course carvery dinner for two on one evening as part of the Get More From Your Stay package.

Alternatively, they can opt for a bottle of Pink Champagne to drink on arrival, or a romantic turndown on one evening, complete with rose petals, floating candles and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
