Advantages: Interesting way to fill in time

Disadvantages: Age Limit should be applied rather than leave it to parents. Too costly

The Dungeon has changed from the last time we visited it. We found the smoke stifling but atmospheric. The compulsary photo was an unnecessary imposition on our time. The darkness and lack of visible signs as to where to go was a bit confusing but the frightening appearance of the doctor's assistant made some of the party jump as it was intended to do.The dialogue of the deputy Surgeon and his assistant was quite good and funny at times. Some of the posters were in small writing and difficult to read for us visually impaired visitor's. The Torturer enjoyed her demonstration of the implements as did the victims girlfriend. The Judge doubling up as the surgeons assistant was very good in both parts but the best of them all was the innkeeper and his story of someone called Williams. Dick Turpin was an interesting experience as the voice moved round the room and we all waited in expectation of a tap on the shoulder. The seats dropped as Turpin was hanged and made us all jump. Overall an improvement from our last visit and well worth a visit although the cost was a bit high. Edinburgh is still the best Dungeon experience we have had so far with London 2nd but York is not far behind. Amsterdam and Hamburg are on our list

Summary: Well worth a visit.
