London
Dungeons Scary Tour For The Brave At
Heart
Scared? You Should Be -
These Dungeons Of London Will Cause You To Look
Behind Your Back!
When going on a London
vacation, popular stops include a visit to the
Houses of Parliament, the London Tower Bridge,
and St. Paul’s Cathedral. These attractions
are all considered must visits, but if you would
like to take a small step away from the
“traditional,” history of London, you
are encouraged to step inside the London
Dungeon.
The London Dungeon
Museum?
Although occasionally
classified as a museum, there is much more to
this popular attraction. In a way, it serves as
a museum, theater, haunted house, and small
amusement park.
Those are interesting
combinations, which is why the London Dungeon is
considered a must visit. However, due to the
nature of this attraction, this is not the best
stop for those on a family vacation.
The London Dungeon is
located at 28 Tooley Street. As soon as you step
enter the dungeon, which is located in a cellar
beneath the London Bridge, you will know what
awaits you.
Torture
Anyone?
Speaking of the nature of
the London Dungeon, it highlights the darker
side of London. This is a side of England that
many tourists are unfamiliar with. Just a few of
the events you will find highlighted here
include torture, the plague, the Great Fire of
London, and the chilling true tales of Jack the
Ripper and Sweeny Todd.

London
Dungeon Presentations
As for how
these events are shared with you,
multiple methods are used. These
methods include the use of live
actors, films, two fearful rides,
and special effects.
As previously
stated, this attraction is best for
adults.

The London Dungeon feels
that the best way to experience the darker side
of London is to experience the fear that
residents felt at the time.
The Drop Ride To Doom -
A Favorite London Dungeon
Attraction
One of the rides available
at the London Dungeon is the Extremis, also
known as “The Drop Ride to Doom.”
Right out of a horror novel, a hooded hangman
will guide you to your seat on the right. You
will not have much time for fearful
anticipation, as the trap door on the floor will
give away. You will then quickly drop to nothing
but darkness below.
A Death Defying Boat
Ride
The other ride found at
the London Dungeon is that of the Boat Ride to
Hell. This ride plays on your darkest fears;
however, the operators of the London Dungeon
claim there is no better and fun way to face
your fears.
Once you hop on the boat,
you will be led through rough, descending, and
murky waters. Total darkness and scary
characters along the way will leave you with a
mix of excitement and fear.
On your London Dungeons
trip, you will wander through the area in a
tour-like format. Tours normally last from one
hour to an hour and half.
What They
Said
Although very scary and
true to many instances of life in London, this
attraction is comes highly rated and
recommended. If you too like the experience, you
must pay another admission fee and retake the
tour to enjoy the rides again.
A Night To Remember In
The British Isles

rides and shows are high. In fact, the London
Dungeon has won the Best Unusual Venue award

right.

- So, forget fall
festivals and put some reality into your
"fright night" travel vacation.
