Get ghoulish in Greenwich this Halloween – Lantern-lit tours, ghost stories and costume making – Greenwich has plenty on offer to satisfy ghost hunters and spook enthusiasts this Halloween with themed events taking place across the borough. I live in South West London and going to the South East of the capital sometimes feels like a daunting prospect especially during the weekend when traffic reaches its peaks… But I had to change my mind recently when I visited Greenwich several times (by public transport) including the Greenwich Market, The Royal Observatory and the parks. I am such a lover of this area of London now. I have been there so many times in the past 5 months that my son was even picked to be a model for the marketing material of the local Maritime Museum! We almost became part of the furniture of that amazing museum. Here are some of the Greenwich highlights for October 2011.
