The London Dungeon

About the London Dungeon

Experience the dark side of London's history

The London Dungeon transports its visitors to some of the darkest and most frightening moments in the capital’s history. Gruesome live characters serve as guides in the depths of the dungeon, taking victims through some of London’s most grisly and macabre historical events and cultural phenomena, including the gory career of Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel, the Great Fire of London, Sweeney Todd’s Fleet Street barber shop and a boat ride through Traitors’ Gate.

Grusome and scary, while hilarious and a tiny bit educational, the London Dungeon is a thrilling journey of bumps, jumps and special effects. The thrilling ride culminates with execution by hanging on the terrifying Extremis: Drop Ride to Doom.
