With 14 live shows, guests are transported to dark, bleak times from the Plague and the Great Fire of London to a visit with Fleet Street’s demon barber Sweeney Todd and a walk through Whitechapel where Jack the Ripper lurks around every corner.
Plus there’s a whole dungeon of scary fun to discover as a cast full of horrible characters bring London’s gory history to life PLUS three great rides; the 5D ghost hunting Vengeance, drop ride Extremis and Traitor: Boat Ride to Hell.
For those who like chills with their thrills – there is no other attraction in London that compares with The London Dungeon!
