Halloween Prom Night-The Lexington-Saturday October 31st

It’s a bit of a trek but promises to be worth it, The Lexington is to Angel what The Amersham is to New Cross. This night promises to take inspiration from nostalgic slasher movies ‘The Lost Boys’ and ‘Carrie’. As for the music; ‘expect pop from ABC to A-Ha to Yazoo to ZZ Top - as long as it came out in the 1980s’. There’s also voting for the Prom King and Queen and a Grotto of Awesomeness. What’s more, it’s only ?3 if you come dressed up.
