Gearing up for one its busiest times of the year, one of London's most popular attractions, the London Dungeon, is trialling a new timed ticketing system this Easter and from 5-21 April entry will by timed ticket only. The move is in response to guest feedback and aims to get people into the attraction as quickly as possible.

Bookable online in advance, guests simply select their 15 minute time slot, turn up at their designated show time and embark on a live action journey through 1000 years of London's murky past. Visitors are strongly advised to book ahead to secure their preferred time slot; those who turn up without a pre-booked ticket will be offered the first available show slot and asked to return then.

“The Dungeon isn't just for Halloween, it's scary good fun all year round and we are expecting a busy Easter,” commented General Manager, Hywel Matthias. “We know we will be a popular choice for people who prefer their Easter entertainment with a bit more bite so we've decided to trial a timed entry system to cut down waiting and get them right into the heart of the action.”
