The London Dungeon invites you to delve into the capital’s most blood-curdling history. With live actors, two hair-raising rides, shows and special effects that transport you back to those black, bleak times… are you brave enough to handle it?

Face Your Fears at the London Dungeons

The London Dungeon is a uniquely thrilling attraction that will whisk you way back to the capital’s most perilous past.

See, hear, feel and (ahem!) smell the chillingly amusing characters of the ‘bad old days’ as they come to life before you. With thirteen scarily true stories and two thrilling rides, guests will come face to face with London’s most notorious historical characters including Guy Fawkes, Sweeney Todd and Jack the Ripper. Be prepared for a ‘hangy’ ending as you plummet to your doom on the exhilarating vertical drop ride; Drop Dead. Will you lose yourself in fear or in mirth? Either way, it’s not looking good for your underwear.

Then with your heart still pumping, why not collapse into a well-cushioned chair in our Victorian Tavern? Themed cocktails are available like the spell-binding Hex on the Beach or dangerously delicious Ripper’s Revenge. That will help you forget the terrible deeds of the day!

Highlights

Curse of the Witch

Enter the bowels of Newgate Prison and witness Elizabeth Sawyer, The Witch of Edmonton, awaiting her hanging. She seems broken and meek, could she really be guilty of murder through conversing with the Devil? But be warned, there’s another side to her lurking within and it’s one you do not want to cross. Her fate is sealed and soon yours will be too…

Drinks can be purchased from the bar.

Please note that if you are lucky enough to look under 25 you will be asked to provide photo ID confirming you are 18 or over. 

Jack the Ripper

You know his name, but do you really know his story? Who was he? Where is he now? Will he strike again? Pay a visit to the Ten Bells pub, where his victims once drank, and let Waldren tell the ghastly tales of one of London’s most infamous cold-blooded killers. Drink up and soak in the eerie atmosphere but don’t let the lights burn out…he could be right behind you.

Sweeney Todd

Visit The Demon Barber of Fleet Street for the most unforgettable (and absolutely regrettable) haircut you’ll ever receive. Don’t be alarmed, he’s only heating up his tools to get a really, really close shave. Take a seat and give Mr Todd a treat…chop chop, he’s been waiting for you.

Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot

Beyond the city gates you enter a dark, rat-infested tunnel that winds back beneath the city of London. Dare you proceed?

Tyrant Boat Ride

Meet your fate at Traitor’s gate as you join Anne Boleyn on her final ride down the River Thames. Beware, for Henry VIII’s wrath knows no bounds as you embark on this perilous 360 experience down treacherous waters – ride if you dare.

Drop Ride

Welcome to the Newgate Gallows. It’s 1783 and here’s an exciting first. The Long Drop is to be used for the first time outside Newgate Prison…
