Halloween Parties in London: Where to Celebrate Near London Bridge and Bermondsey Street
Halloween falls on a Saturday this year; a dark, atmospheric bar with a name like ours on Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which means London's best Halloween parties won't be confined to a single night; they'll spread across a whole weekend of things to do. If you're after somewhere dark, atmospheric and a little bit theatrical to spend it, The Bermondsey Mile is a good place to start, and The Last Talisman sits right in the middle of it. We're not running a bespoke Halloween menu this year, but our new Autumn cocktails set exactly the right tone: moody, seasonal, and built for a night that starts in the dark and doesn't let up. Bermondsey Mile is the natural place for it.
Halloween on The Bermondsey Mile: Where to Drink Near London Bridge
The Bermondsey Mile is one of south-east London's most atmospheric stretches, lined with independent bars, restaurants and galleries between London Bridge and Borough Market. It's not trying to be anywhere else, which is exactly why it works for Halloween: no fancy-dress shop gimmicks, just dark rooms, good drinks, and a street that already looks the part after dark.
At The Last Talisman, that character runs through the whole venue, with low lighting, handcrafted cocktails and rooms built for an evening that feels a little different from the usual Saturday out.
Whether you're starting your Halloween night here or finishing it, we're a 12-minute walk from London Bridge Station and firmly on the map for anyone searching for the best bars near London Bridge this October.
New Autumn Cocktails, Worth Dressing Up For
We haven't built a Halloween-specific drinks menu this year; instead, our new Autumn cocktails do the job for us.
Built around darker spirits, seasonal flavours and a few clever twists on the classics, they're the kind of drinks that suit a dimly lit bar and a night that's meant to feel a bit theatrical.
If you want to make a week of it rather than just a Saturday, come back for our 2-4-1 Happy Hour, Tuesday to Friday, 5 to 8 pm, a good excuse to try the new menu before the Halloween weekend rush.
Hosting a Halloween Party? Private Spaces on Bermondsey Street
If you're organising something bigger than a table for two, The Last Talisman has four spaces built for exactly that:
Mala Madre: our largest space, with its own private bar and room for up to 90 standing. The natural choice for a proper Halloween party.
The Zen Den: private dining for 20, in a rustic, Asian-inspired setting.
The Mezzanine: a flexible space overlooking the main room.
The Chef's Room: your table in front of the open kitchen, for a smaller group that still wants a bit of theatre.
