The ultimate 'Bad Egg', The London Dungeon's Egg-cecutioner, proved his metal and today set the inaugural World Record for most eggs decapitated in one minute. The egg-citing feat saw him behead 17 soft boiled eggs in 60 seconds. 

Throughout Easter, guests will be able to see the egg decapitator extraordinaire in the live action attraction demo'ing his highly tuned skills on thousands more eggs, using a variety of tools – axes, swords and whatever else comes to hand!

The scary fun then continues as visitors journey through London's murky past, with a special 'Bad Eggs' Easter Trail to follow on the way.  Sweeney Todd waits in the Barber Shop, Jack the Ripper is lurking in the shadows of Victorian Whitechapel whilst Guy Fawkes stalks the passages beneath Parliament.  Plus an extensive supporting cast, immersive special effects, edge of your seat surprises, and two exciting thrilling rides – all bringing 1000 years of London history to life.
