Things to Do in London: Wizards, Reality TV, and Spooky Halloween Adventures

Welcome listeners, you’ve tuned in to Things to Do in London, coming at you with the latest buzz on Friday, October 24, 2025. I’m Oly Bennet—your jet-setting, joke-cracking guide to the wildest adventures and quirkiest competitions. London’s feeling fresh today: the skies are mostly clear with that crispy autumn chill, so pack your layers and your best “I’m here for the fun” attitude. The city is lit with excitement thanks to a wave of autumn events, Halloween energy in the air, and Londoners bouncing between Bavarian beer fests and high-tech exhibitions.

If you're craving a cultural smorgasbord, today delivers a wild mix—something for every taste. Here's the inside scoop: designmynight.com says Hexmoor is transforming London into wizard central with their immersive prison escape experience. Don your magic jumpsuit, barter with potion-slinging inmates, and puzzle your way to freedom with cocktail rewards, all set in a jaw-dropping film-like set. Want to see drama of a different kind? At Versa Studios, it’s Big Brother Live Eviction night, and whether you love reality TV or just fancy seeing a housemate dramatically booted out, free tickets mean you can cheer, boo, and gasp along with the crowd.

For families, VisitLondon highlights autumn’s greatest hits—the kids can ride mail tunnels at the Postal Museum or get up close with capybaras at Hobbledown Heath, where the Pumpkin Patch is popping with seasonal treats. Art lovers—don’t miss the monthly Van Gogh House museum tours in Stockwell, for an arty fix and a slice of history.

Concert fans, hold onto your hats! Stars and Stripes reports London stages are electric tonight, with Critical Sound pumping underground sonics at the legendary Fabric club. If you’re more about musical variety, HAIM’s I Quit Tour is coming soon to The O2 and Sting is preparing to serenade fans at The Eventim Apollo—so snap up tickets because these acts never disappoint.

Now, let’s talk citywide updates—according to Londonist, weekend plans include climbing the rigging of a famous ship, pirate exhibitions, and robot zoos to keep your sense of adventure sharp. Visiting foodies, take note! Fresh restaurant buzz includes pop-ups at Beavertown Bar—where creative cocktails meet DJ sets for a playground of flavors and funky beats. Also, Black Friday’s drawing near, so the best shopping deals are around the corner, but fair warning: public transport could be busier than a peloton at the cheese-rolling finals, so plan with your Oyster card or travel apps.

Ready for must-do activities? Cruise the Thames for panoramic views, take a secret walking tour through twisty alleys, or hop onto the Ghost Bus Tour for stories to chill your bones. In Hampstead, sip on a seasonal brew in a century-old pub, then wander cobblestone streets for vintage treasures. For something really offbeat, the Silent Disco Boat Party lets you rave as London’s bridges roll by, each channel blasting tunes from disco to hardcore house—dance like nobody’s judging (because everyone else has headphones on).

London local tip—hop on a canal boat at Camden and drift to Little Venice for serene city views most tourists miss. Also, always mind the gap—not just on the Underground, but when swerving rogue marathoners or the occasional costumed wizard on the pavement.

Tomorrow promises spooky Halloween fun and a tidal wave of comic book joy—don’t miss MCM Comic Con at ExCeL London, chock-full of cosplayers, panels, and pop culture madness. Tune in next time for London’s most bizarre sports, epic discoveries, and a fresh round of wild tales!
