London Dungeon

London Dungeon

Take a trip on the terrifying Traitor Boat Ride to Hell, lose yourself in the Labyrinth of the Lost - the world 's largest and scariest mirror maze – and bury yourself in the ancient crypt of All Hallows by the Tower while Jack the Ripper, the Great Plague and Great Fire of London and a host of Wicked Women all clamber at your heels. Torture, beheading, plague and murder are the main 'attractions ' at this museum celebrating the deepest, darkest parts of British history. In addition to the jaw-droppingly repulsively real animatronics and waxworks, complete with appropriately gruesome sound effects, there are also some (very much alive) costumed actors who are just dying to give you a fright. An excellent way of fostering an interest in the past, the London Dungeon combines real history, horror and humour to bring gruesome goings-on back to life in the 21st century. Special seasonal events add an extra macabre twist to every visit. Please note: The Dungeon is not recommended for those of a nervous disposition or very young children. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Did You Know?

It was believed that holding a posy of flowers to the nose kept away the plague and to this day judges are still given a nose-gay to carry on ceremonial occasions as a protection against the plague.
