The unofficial trail passes through some of the poshest London neighbourhoods
Influencers and tourists have been seen flocking to London’s poshest neighbourhoods to snap selfies next to elaborate Halloween displays.
Properties and businesses across Kensington, West London, have pulled out all the stops for this year’s frightful festivities. One social media user has even mapped out a walking trail highlighting the most impressively decorated homes throughout the area.
The route kicks off at Kensington High Street, taking in Ilchester Place, Abbotsbury Road, Holland Park, Argyll Road, Upper Phillimore Gardens, Victoria Road, The Little Boltons, and Tregunter Road. Properties along the way are adorned with skulls, bats, witches, spiders, and pumpkins.
Visiting influencer Christina GL, 35, said: “I came for Halloween for the pictures. It is very nice and beautiful here. I just want to take a picture for my Instagram. It is amazing. Some of them are scary. I have never seen it like that. This year is so different from other years. I think everybody has to come here to take a picture.”
Also drawing considerable crowds is the spectacular rat-infested pumpkin installation outside Annabel’s in Mayfair. The prestigious private members’ club has long been celebrated for its lavish seasonal décor, and this year’s ghoulish spectacle has taken social media by storm.
The jaw-dropping transformation boasts a colossal haunted pumpkin carriage with vintage wheels, sinister black rats with glowing red eyes, ravens, sprawling overgrown foliage, and a terrifying giant rat dramatically bursting forth from the building.
