Recommended 100/100 - Every time I go to London I end up going to the London Dungeon.... The first time they had opened recently and since then they have improved greatly. I recommend going ... speaking English because they speak fast 🤭

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience at The London Dungeon! - I absolutely loved The London Dungeon — it was amazing from start to finish. The actors were brilliant and really brought the stories to life with a perfect mix of humour, scares, and drama. The sets and special effects were incredibly immersive and made you feel like you were part of the experience rather than just watching it.
Each section flowed well and kept things exciting, and the jump scares were great without being over the top. The whole attraction was well organised and felt slick and professional, even though it was busy. It wasn’t as scary as I imagined - it was really good
If you enjoy interactive experiences, dark history told in a fun way, and a bit of adrenaline, this is 100% worth doing. I’d happily go again and would recommend it to anyone visiting London.

Fun and Professional - Despite being totally in English it is an experience that must be lived, they make you integrate and participate in their adventures regardless of the language, a staging and very good and professional special effects, there are some surprises that make the attraction very fun, sincerely we have been surprised

I absolutely recommend doing this - Such an amazing experience! Definitely worth every penny. You get to know a little bit more about London's history in a fun, interactive and spooky way. The actors are superb! They were all great and considering they do their act multiple times a day, it is amazing the energy that they present us with. Whatever they're being paid is definitely not enough!

Good scary fun - Me and my husband was in London for a few days and my husband wanted to do London Dungeons, i didn't want to at first but decided I would so he wouldn't be alone. Turned out i actually really enjoyed it, the scares were pretty mild, though admittedly at first every time it went pitch black I closed my eyes as I had a feeling there'd be jump scares but as the rooms went on I got more brave and kept my eyes open.
The acting throughout the attraction was fantastic from start to finish, as someone who does theatre myself I'm always judging other actors and they passed the test of being believable.
The ride drop at the end was optional and I came close to exiting through the door, but changed my mind as I knew id regret it if I didn't. Im glad I went on the ride as it was good fun, it reminded me of a ride I went on as a teen, only difference was it was in pitch black.
We did find the souvenir photos on the expensive side, but then again it's London so you know what you're getting yourself into going there. We bought 2 photos anyway, mostly because you're not allowed to take personal photos and we wanted the memories.
Finally the pub at the end was a great way to end the attraction, it was an old timey style pub with a self playing piano which was fascinating. We stopped for a drink before leaving.
All in all we highly recommend visiting the dungeons if you're in London. I probably wouldnt visit again unless new stories are included though, not because I didn't like it but going again when you know what to expect would take away its effectiveness.

Fun but not terrifying - Terrifying route in historic London.
We go from room to room with each time an actor telling us his terrible story, ranging from a victim of Jack the Ripper to Sweeney Todd's wife.
Thrill assured for small natures and children.
1h30 of activity in the heart of London and indoors. You will emerge at the foot of the London Eye.
A decent Price quality ratio without much terror

London Dungeon - The activity of the London Dungeon is interesting but a little too long. There is a lot of text and narration, which breaks the rhythm a bit. I expected more fear and surprise effects. Mood is well done, but the experience lacks a bit of intensity. Too bad, the concept remains original!

Blackout experience..... More like a 'Meh' experience. experience. - The experience was okay, but disappointing as it could have been so much scarier!
I was imagining more blood and gore honestly.... And expecting some people to 'disappear' and perhaps have some Van Halsing types come to our rescue before everyone became the banquet and maybe have no option but to 'escape' through an old tunnel and use the ride (if they still have this...?)
Where even was Dracula???
It would have also been very cool and more intense if we'd been given our own crosses and/or mini bottles of 'holy water' to fend off some actor Vamps for example.
The only thing that made sense about it being an 18+ rated event, was the fact we got a free shot before it started.
That being said, the actors were really good and made it feel atmospheric but honestly, my favourite part was when it ended and we had a drink in the bar!
I had a Dracula's Tonic - it was the best cocktail I've had in a while as the barmaid wasn't t stingy with the alcohol measures!
That being said, we didn't know there was a bar at the end. I thought this was an additional experience. So it was a good thing that although we paid for a locker for our bags, we kept our money with us, otherwise we may have missed out!

Disappointed at lack of boat ride - Extremely disappointed to see that there's no longer a boat ride in this attraction as that was previously a personal highlight of mine. Very upset with that aspect, but the experience was decent overall.

Each to their own, but not for us. - I will first say, the actors/employees that participated in this were fantastic. The theme and idea of what they are trying to accomplish is fun and informative. The problem is one - TOO MANY PEOPLE in each group. Pushed, shoved, and couldn't see or hear what was going on.
