The London Dungeon

A thousand years of London's nastiest history, acted out at close range.

The Dungeon runs live-actor shows through London's grimmer episodes — plague, Sweeney Todd, Jack the Ripper — on theatrical sets, with two rides built into the route.

Through October it layers on additional Halloween content and late-night adult sessions. It is jump-scare theatrical rather than genuinely terrifying, which makes it a good first scare attraction for teenagers.
