Overview

A Halloween treat as we walk past locations from some classic British Horror movies. Starting at Pimlico we will head past the Tate and down Millbank, a location used in both 'The Satanic Rites of Dracula' (1973) and 'Razor Blade Smile' (1998) before heading to St James Park used briefly in 'Satanic Rites…' as well as 'Dracula 2000' (1999). Moving on we head up to Piccadilly and pass a couple of locations used in 'An American Werewolf in London' (1983) as well as 'Dracula ad 1971' (1970) and 'Razor Blade Smile'. From here we cross back into Soho and Wardour Street which along with being in 'Razor Blade Smile' and 'An American Werewolf…' is represented in many version of 'Dracula' as it is mentioned by name in the original novel. 

We will end at a pub near Tottenham Court Road station. 

Optional: Please join us in the pub at the end of the walk for a drink and a chat.
