The night

Somewhere you would rather not walk into alone

For one night our London Bridge party bar turns into exactly that. Cobwebs across the ceiling, fog rolling over the floor, red light everywhere, and a DJ running 80s and 90s bangers straight into the floor fillers you only admit to loving in the dark.

Come in costume. There is a prize for the best one. Dress to impress, or dress to terrify, but do turn up as something.

Best costume wins

There is a prize for the best costume on the night. Effort beats budget, and the room tends to decide who deserves it long before anyone official does.

No costume is not a crime. Our normal dress code still applies: dress to impress, fancy dress welcome, no team sports shirts.
