No Escape Halloween 2026; various locations across London; 23rd October to 1st November 2026; £40
From haunted toys and murderous dentists to demonic forces and a Cold War nuclear threat, No Escape’s nine horror-led escape rooms across four London venues will offer some of the capital’s most atmospheric ways to celebrate Halloween from 23rd October to 1st November 2026.
Each of No Escape’s rooms is built around its own horror or thriller storyline. Across Victoria, Oxford Street, Aldgate and Holloway, players can find themselves facing demonic forces, sinister barbers, haunted toys, serial killers, butchers, witches, and other figures best avoided after dark. Especially for Halloween, each venue will also feature live actors, bringing its darkest characters out of the shadows and terrifyingly close to players.
The nine experiences across the four venues are:
- Victoria: The Gates of Hell at Purgatory Bar
- Oxford Street: The Dentist and The Demon Barber
- Aldgate: The Haunted Toy Store, The Butcher, The Orphanage and The Witch’s Curse
- Holloway: The Killer and The Darkest Hour
At Victoria, The Gates of Hell is housed inside No Escape’s Purgatory Bar, combining an infernal escape-room story with theatrical cocktails and gothic interiors.
At Oxford Street, an apparently routine appointment leads players into the disturbing surgery of The Dentist, while The Demon Barber draws on the bloody world of Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett.
Aldgate offers four distinct routes into horror. Players can enter the unnerving world of The Haunted Toy Store, investigate the blood-stained story of The Butcher, uncover the secrets held inside The Orphanage or face the supernatural forces behind The Witch’s Curse.
At Holloway, players can find themselves trapped inside the revenge plot of The Killer, or become MI6 agents racing to avert a nuclear catastrophe in The Darkest Hour.
Each experience gives teams 60 minutes to search their surroundings, decipher clues and complete their mission. While the stories differ from room to room, all nine are designed to make solving the puzzle considerably harder once the lights fall, the clock begins counting down, and the setting starts to work on the imagination.
