  • Be prepared to be terriffed and spooked as you enter the London Dungeon which displays some of Britain's most gruesome blood thirsty events.

    You'll encounter Druids performing a human sacrafic at Stonehenge, a room full of people who die with agony from the plague, and other displays of torture, witchcraft and murder...

    Not really amongst my personal favourites of things to do in London but my boys LOVED this place when they were 11 and 8. Kids will take sheer delight in the screams, blood and guts stinky smells and downright wickedness of London's heinous past - all disgustingly and horrifically recreated here in full gory Technicolour for their visual and aural delectation!

    Situated in Tooley Street just under London Bridge Station - the queues can be really long in summer and the pavement outside the entrance gets quite crowded and chaotic. Once inside you will be treated to scenes of horror from the plague, torture and beheadings to name a few and dungeon guides (actors) will scare the living daylights out of you if you dare to ask them anything (but it's all very tongue in cheek so don't take them seriously!).
    A visit here now includes the "Boat ride to Hell" which is a new treat that wasn't available last time I came.
    Yes... definitely a fun afternoon for the kids... but expect sleepless nights later!

    Tickets are £15.50 for adults.
    Have a look at the website for more info!

    London Dungeon: The London Dungeon
  • Tip Rating:
  • The London Dungeon is not the sort of place to visit if you are squeamish, but kids seem to love it!

    The basic idea is that you get to see all sorts of murders in action and get told details of all of their crimes and how they disposed of bodies etc. You get to see people being beheaded (one of Henry VIII's wives), people being sacrificed and given lots of details of some of the Worlds worst mass murderers.

    It's quite a popular venue, so expect to queue up outside a bit. See the website below for more details on proces and opening hours. The only day it claims to be closed is Christmas day.

    London Dungeon: Terrifying...!
  • Tip Rating:
  • i found it amazing that alot of these very walls were the very same that were used in the actual prison..even if it does seem obvious. having lived in london for 18 years (almost) i only visited it for the first time this summer and was still scared!!! but it was because im older and the 'victorian' people saw it easy to scare me, young enough to get scared, old enough to not cry!! but it really is remarkable how well this tourist site has developed and how popular i was. i arrived there at 9.30 in the morning and still had to wait for 45 mins! but it was wooooooooorth it!

    London Dungeon: Dungeon Dwellers Continued
  • Tip Rating:
  • The story of Jack The Ripper is told in terrifying, graphic detail, it is a great way to learn about some of Londons darkest days and a lot more fun than sitting in a classroom

    As with most attractions of this kind you leave through a gift shop and cafe. You can buy all kinds of souvenirs here from plastic skulls to horror novels and dvds and of course the obligitory t-shirt..

    In the Blood and Guts Tavern you can get snacks and drinks, we paid £1 for a medium slush.

    Opening Times
    12th july-5th September 9.30-7.30
    6th september-31st October 10.00-5.30
    1st November-Easter 2005 10.30-5.00

    Prices
    Adults £13.95
    Children £9.95
    OAP £11.25

    London Dungeon: Dungeon Dwellers
  • Tip Rating:
  • Take yourself back in time to the past and experience the sights, sounds and even smells of London.

    Once you are inside the London Dungeons you would be hard pressed to know that you were really in museum underneath one of Londons busiest railway stations, apart from the odd rumbling of trains which you could quite easily mistake for distant thunder.

    From the moment you join the queue you start to feel as though something strange is going to happen, as heavily made up characters walk along the queue which sometimes can reach as far as the entrance to London Bridge Station.

    The first stop inside is the chopping block where you have your picture taken underneath an axe.

    From there you move onto pay and buy the optional guide book.

    Once all the formalities are out of the way you move into the museum proper. One of the first things you come across is somebody being sick and things don`t really get any better from there. Shortly afterwards there is a glass fronted section, most of it is dark but if you look closely there are some real rats inside.

    Wicked Women is the next exhibition, charting the various evil women throughout history and their henious crimes, Anne Robinson is even included.

    The next part is definately not for the squeamish, The Plague is encountered. Becareful that you don`t catch it, there are plenty of boils bursting and sneezes to pass it on, and yes more rats.

    On to Pudding Lane where something`s cooking, but it isn`t something to eat it`s the street itself. The Great Fire of London started here in 1666 so the story unfolds with flames and smoke.

    It`s audience participation time here where ancient torture methods are demonstrated and then judgement day in court where you could be unjustly tried and sent on the boat ride through traitors gate. (the boat ride wasn`t working when we went).

    Continued Below.

    London Dungeon: There's always something new and creepy here...
  • Tip Rating:
  • the LONDON DUNGEON MUSEUM...crazy, weird, touristy, sure...but the main exhibits or live-action dramatizations are on a changing basis, so you never know what bit of Britain's evil, twisted past will be featured for you! When I was there in '95 they had a gentleman walking around in character as the weird, Victorian Count Dracula as portrayed in the film by Gary Oldman, very cool indeed. Last time, in Jun'00, we got to be a part of the crowd from whose ranks three folks were chosen, and put on trial, and we got to decide who lived and who was drawn and quartered. Now where else can you do this sort of thing, without getting in serious trouble with the law? P.S. The London Dungeon is worlds better than the Edinburgh version.

    London Dungeon: LONDON DUNGEON
  • Tip Rating:
  • It's a museum where realistic waxwork people are subjected in graphic detail to all the historical horrors the Tower of London merely suggest. There are famous bloody moments, the torture, murder and ritual slaughter of anonymous victims all to a soundtrack of screaming, wailing and moaning. There might be long lines because it's among the top tourist attractions.

    It's open Apr.-Sept. daily 10am-5.30pm, Oct.-Mar. daily 10am-4.30pm.
