General info:

The London Dungeon recreates various gory and macabre historical events in a gallows humor style. It includes live actors, special effects and rides.

The visitors of The London Dungeon show are taken on a journey through 1000 years of London’s history where they meet actors performing as some of London’s most famous horror characters, including Jack the Ripper and Sweeney Todd. The shows are staged on theatrical sets with special effects and incorporate events such as the Black Death or the Gunpowder Plot. Maybe the most interesting fact is that the guests are encouraged to participate in the shows.
