The NEW bigger, bolder, better London Dungeon is opening its doors after hours this May for a series of late night performances.

Book ahead for a laugh out loud funny, scream out loud scary journey through ten centuries of London life. From the plague-ridden alleys of the middle ages to the Victorian streets of Jack the Ripper, London’s dark past is brought to life by a talented cast of actors in 18 shows with some stunning special effects thrown in, plus plenty edge of your seat surprises and two exiting thrill rides. Curtain up for first shows at 6.30pm with last entry at 8pm and a late bar where the cast will be hanging out til 10.30pm. 

Meet demon barber Sweeney Todd and his evil sidekick, Mrs Lovett as well as Jack the Ripper, murderous monarch Henry VIII ‘virtually’ played by boisterous British acting giant, Brian Blessed, gunpowder plotter Guy Fawkes and a supporting cast of torturers, plague victims and dark jesters. PLUS all aboard Henry’s Wrath – a boat ride to certain execution and take the drop on a thrilling dark drop ride, aptly called Drop Dead, which will plummet you to your doom. There’s also a chilling, screams-guaranteed, Whitechapel labyrinth with Jack the Ripper on the loose and a strange Victorian Sewer that will leave guests in a disorientated spin.
