London Dungeon
Take a trip on the terrifying Traitor Boat Ride to Hell, lose yourself in the Labyrinth of the Lost - the world 's largest and scariest mirror maze and bury yourself in the ancient crypt of All Hallows by the Tower while Jack the Ripper, the Great Plague and Great Fire of London and a host of Wicked Women all clamber at your heels.
Torture, beheading, plague and murder are the main 'attractions ' at this museum celebrating the deepest, darkest parts of British history. In addition to the jaw-droppingly repulsively real animatronics and waxworks, complete with appropriately gruesome sound effects, there are also some (very much alive) costumed actors who are just dying to give you a fright.
An excellent way of fostering an interest in the past, the London Dungeon combines real history, horror and humour to bring gruesome goings-on back to life in the 21st century. Special seasonal events add an extra macabre twist to every visit.
New For 2008 Jack the Ripper
1888, and the fear rises inside you as you enter Jack the Rippers Whitechapel. As you wander the stinking slums the true horror of his terrible crimes is revealed in bloody, graphic detail. And then a scream, the flash of a cloak and an evil smile as you come face to face with Jack the Ripper himself
will you survive?
Please note: The Dungeon is not recommended for those of a nervous disposition or very young children. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Did You Know?
It was believed that holding a posy of flowers to the nose kept away the plague and to this day judges are still given a nose-gay to carry on ceremonial occasions as a protection against the plague.
