Musicians Rodrigo y Gabriela will play each night at the festival to mark the Mexican holiday, which remembers friends and family members who have died through traditions like building altars, displaying sugar skulls and offering gifts to the departed.
Wahaca says its Day of The Dead festival is an extension of its events encouraging the British public to follow their love of Mexican culture - it has previously celebrated the holiday with decorations and free shots in restaurants.
Events including music, food, film and art and are being produced by the Mexican Embassy in the UK and arts production company Nomad.
The tunnels will be transformed into a temporary Wahaca street kitchen and Mezcalaria bar, serving cocktails made with Olmeca Altos tequila.
Work by acclaimed Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide will be exhibited as well as newly-commissioned art installations by the London-based Le Gun collective, Hew Lock and Nancy Fouts. Visitors can also watch screenings of the avant-garde film Santa Sangre, set in Mexico, in which a former circus performer seeks revenge for a grisly crime he witnessed when he was a child.
Music on the bill includes a new live score by the Cabinet of Living Cinema and late night revelry from Communion DJs.
