"When you bring history into the equation, gory haunted attractions aren’t just for Halloween, thus the London Dungeon is always ready to give visitors a blood-soaked tour through London’s past. This tourist attraction is by no means hidden, but its sidelong devotion to history amidst the animatronics, fake smoke, and theatre blood make it unique among its kitschy brethren. Part of a small European chain of attractions that are each tailored to the local history of their city, the London Dungeon features dramatic and shocking recreations of such real life horrors as a mad King Henry VIII, Guy Fawkes’ bombing plot, and of course a fully explorable series of Whitechapel alleys stalked by Jack the Ripper. The London Dungeon was opened in 1974 by Annabel Geddes. Originally, it comprised a wax exhibition of gory and macabre local history. Over the following decades, it grew to feature walkthrough theatrical shows. In the 90s, the Dungeon was rebranded, with a shift towards interactive horror, and away from historical accuracy. Covering London’s instances of plague, torture, and murder, the attraction is clearly more invested in scares than facts. However none can say that the London Dungeon does not make the city’s history seem much more interesting than any textbook might." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

LOVED The London Dungeon. No photos allowed inside at all which was actually really nice as no phones at all about. Scenes BRILLIANT and acting fantastic - family joyful photo taken inside 🤣 The whole thing is a walk through where you are led from scene to scene. Some are seated so you get some rest spots too. Took about 90 minutes to go through x wasn’t a busy day for us x

I would highly recommend you to go here. One of the best amusement show i have visited in my life. The actors over here are so good and full of energy, the storyline was also great. They will make you feel included and joke around with you. It is worth the price…. You will spend around 2 hours in this show. If you are taking kids they should be at least 5 years old.

Super fun place!!! Acting was great! We had a great time, not for very small kids, a bit scary. It was a mix between a haunted house and a history tour. Who thought you could be thrilled and learn. Ideal for teens and younger adults I would say.

I can’t speak highly enough of this haunted house. The first few minutes I was wondering what had just paid for. By the second room i was hooked. And it just kept getting better. It wasn’t at all what I was expecting and I wont spoil it. But the actors were absolutely amazing. And the effects? Awesome. I would recommend this all day long.
