Advantages: Very educational, Great Fun, Older children will love it,Close to station.

Disadvantages: Waiting a long time , role playing, thats all

When it was first mentioned to get tickets for the London Dungeon I was not to keen, but being it was going to be a double ticket with the other attraction being the London Eye (which I have written a review !) I thought well give it a try.

One thing I would say is make sure you get a fast track ticket, as in the peak season it can be annoying, queuing for hours on end. As you approach the Dungeons you have a lot of the actors outside entertaining the crowds,usually with some sort of water pistol!

On entering the Dungeons it is dark and I would think that kids would like
the excitement.The actors are very well made up and can look quite scarey.
You have a small area to walk about in where there are large wooden doors,
when there are enough people for the tour ( I didn't realise it was a tour
and thought it was somewhere you just wandered about in!) you are led
into dark eerie corridors where you will stop from time to time to be told
about that particular part of London.

I do not want to spoil you entertainment, so I will not give to much away but be prepared to jump !

It is very educational especially for children if not a bit scarey ( which I'm sure they will love ) Jack the Ripper is particulary good and also the Sweeney
Todd barbers is great! They have this amazing mirror maze which is very
cleverly done, even though it is not very big it seems to go on for ever!

The only downfall I would say was that I personally don't like role playing
and they do pick people from the audience to participate in some of their
acts. (I hated it at school and still haven't changed!)

The final part of the tour is great which I'll let you discover for yourself,
they do take photos which you can purchase after going through the gift
shop at the end. Our photo shows just sheer terror in my daughters eyes
(she is 26 )which proofs we had a great time. The photos are £7 or 2 for
£10 ( which we purchased as a nice keepsake).

Our tickets cost £33 which also included fast track and entry onto the London Eye.Which for two of Londons best attractions I thought was
very good value!

London Bridge tube is the nearest, just a few steps away. There are also
a number of buses that stop outside.

Summary: Something to enjoy as a family or a couple all ages will have a great time!
