The all new multi-million pound attraction will bring 1000 years of authentic London history to life with a unique mix of talented live actors performing in scarily funny shows, stunning special effects, edge of your seat surprises and two exciting thrill rides. Guests will embark on a journey through a dramatic London landscape going back ten centuries. They will be guided through ghastly plague-ridden streets, witness Guy Fawkes’ dramatic plot to blow up Parliament, travel back to Jack the Ripper’s bleak Whitechapel and walk beneath London’s foreboding medieval gates. There are new shows and rides which are more dramatic and surprising than ever, new funnier scripts, more theatrical costumes and styling and more talented actors to play even more colourful villains and blaggards. « less

I'm afraid we were suckered in by the publicity machine for this attraction but unfortunately did not come anywhere near our expectations. Too expensive for one, The whole experience is over pretty quickly and very cheesy and predictable, the made up sets were of a poor standard but the actors did their best with the script they are given.

There once was a London Dungeon that horrified me as a child, as a teenager and later as an Adult - it was great! It was a place where you were free to explore and roam around at your own pace, whilst the exhibits were just that - eerie, subtle and horrible in description. I kept coming back because each...

I had been looking forward to going to the London Dungeon as a few people had told me it was really good. Pre bought tickets however we were in the queue for about 40 mins. No one explained about the tickets so we had no idea if we were on the right line for a while. I felt for the... More

Just when you think you've reached the front of the line, you turn a corner to find...another line! Unlike many of our fellow travelers, my husband and I were forewarned about the strong possibility of getting wet on the first ride inside the dungeon. Not only did we wear rain jackets, we bought rain ponchos at the aquarium gift shop... More

I was dragged here by my friend and I think my reluctance was justified. The queues can be enormous we were lucky to only have to queue for about 30 minutes but this I think is ludicrous considering we already had our tickets. They also seem to pump in a fake bad smell which gave my friend and I sore... More

We had a good time and the method for delivering the history is interesting. Some parts might be a bit scary for kids but it wasn't to bad. Not a bad place but a bit of a let down. It was a bit expensive and a little long. If your tall watch your head!

Like some of the previous reviewers, we remembered the 'original' dungeon with some fondness; it was educational and well presented. The only saving grace of the new dungeon are the actors, who try gamely to add a bit of fright into the proceedings. We felt that the admission price was astronomical and the 'frights' incredibly sanitised.

I booked a day trip to the eye and the dungeons for my partners birthday. Once we arrived we picked up the tickets and went on the eye waiting about 15 mins in queue. We walked over to the dungeon where there was 2 queues on for general admission one for priority. When booking online it mentioned priority entrance but... More

My most recent visit to the London Dungeon was my third, but this time the London Dungeon had moved to its new location adjacent to the London Eye. Having been twice before at the original Tooley Street London Dungeon in 1999 and 2000, I knew what to expect; but it was still fun to visit. The general theme was the... More
