Navigate London’s Darkened Streets – As you enter the streets of London, twisted into a grim, nightmarish version of the city. Carols hang in the air like a forgotten memory, while the undead stagger through cobbled alleys, seeking fresh souls to devour. Encounter haunting renditions of beloved characters turned monstrous—ghostly carolers, grotesque versions of the Cratchit family, and even the spirits of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come, now terrifying visions of decay.

?The Winter Market – After your harrowing journey, catch your breath at the Winter Market. Here, you’ll find booths with one-of-a-kind holiday gifts, handcrafted ornaments, and eerie trinkets. Snap a picture with Zombie Santa, who’s more than happy to give you a gruesome grin, and browse festive yet frightful souvenirs to take home.

Krampus Club – Warm up (if you can) at the Krampus Club, where holiday mischief meets horror. Sip on a selection of sinister-themed drinks like Krampus Coal, a smoky cocktail that tingles your senses, or The Devil's Hot Chocolate, a spiked cocoa that’ll keep you on your toes. Indulge in eerie snacks while live musicians play twisted holiday tunes, creating an ambiance that chills and delights.

Photo Ops with Krampus – Don’t leave without meeting the notorious Krampus himself! Dare to pose with this iconic holiday demon as he looms over you, making for the ultimate keepsake of your night in the dark side of Christmas.
