The London Dungeon
The London Dungeon is a uniquely thrilling attraction that will whisk you way back to the capital’s most perilous past. See, hear, feel and (ahem) smell the chillingly amusing characters of the ‘bad old days’ as they come to life before you. Step inside Sweeney Todd’s infamous barber shop on Fleet Street and let him give your life a short back and sides. Then tread cautiously through the streets of Whitechapel, as Jack the Ripper could be lurking just around the corner… You probably think you’ll be safe after that but there’s also the small matter of the Plague, a vengeful Henry VIII and his Executioner and the Torturer who would really like you to talk. Then, you’ll be sentenced for your crimes (guilty of course) and sent to Newgate Prison to hang! On the off chance you survive all of that, you’ll round off your journey with a visit to the Dungeon Tavern; hear the latest gossip with the locals!

Great staff
We visited the London Dungeons today, My daughter was slightly nervous as not great with scary things 😂😬 About half way through she started to get quite anxious and wanted to leave I told a member of the team who was one of the characters dressed up, who immediately stopped what he was doing and took us out, where we waited for a few minutes for someone to get us, just wanted to give a special mention to one of the characters who was called Emily she was fantastic with my daughter and really put her at ease! And also fantastic at playing her part! To be honest they were all lovely! One of the other characters gave her a coin to hold and keep so very sweet! Hope the staff see this, and thank you all today for your help and kindness Hayley and Eliza x
Operator response
The Judge is most touched by your testimony! While his court delights in delivering a few scares, he is pleased to hear that Emily and her fellow officers knew exactly when to set aside the proceedings and help a nervous young visitor feel safe. The coin was a particularly thoughtful gesture... every brave soul deserves a token for facing the court, even if they choose not to stay for the full trial. He will ensure your kind words are entered into the record, especially for Emily, whose care and compassion clearly left as much of an impression as her performance. The Judge wishes that the court may have the pleasure of welcoming her back in the future🕯️⚖️ Guest Experience Team The London Dungeon

Exciting, good actor
A very pleasant experience. He learned a lot about the misery in London in the old days. The actors did a very good job. Sometimes it was maybe a little too much comedy. Reminds me of something a bit scarier from the 1990s.
Operator response
We suspect you've spent too much time in the company of that blasted Jester… always turning screams into laughter and gallows humour into punchlines. Although, we would argue that London’s darker history is at its most effective when it catches you off guard. Do come back… we’ll see if we can keep the Jester occupied long enough to make your next visit a little more frightening 🃏 Guest Experience Team The London Dungeon

Dungeon 01 10 2026.
A lot of it is about people acting out parts with some items on display. Long delay in getting started, we queued for 1over 10 minutes in corridor waiting to enter first room and this was on the first tour of the day. Apart from a loop recording there was nothing else to do whilst waiting.

Great time.
We had a great time. The tour was very well done and would highly recommend it.

Huzzah! What a delicious review! Mrs Lovett is so pleased with your review; she will now bake you one of her famous meat pies... beware though... they're not to everyone's taste 🥧 Guest Experience Team The London Dungeon

Scary Fun
This was so much fun and informative. Lots of frights and jump scares throughout. The actors were amazing! Our favourite day out on our London trip.
Operator response
Mrs. Lovett is always pleased with a 5-star review, and thanks you for trying her "best pies in London!". She promises that if you visit again, she will make YOU a very special pie... 🥧🩸💀🖤 Guest Experience Team The London Dungeon

Groups too large for a spooky experience
We had a decent experience here, though I wished we looked up information about it instead of instantly purchasing the tickets as part of a discounted ticket package. That way, we would have expected to take a longer tour than we planned for. We thought it’d be a self-guided tour. We also hoped for a spookier experience, but the groups were too big to allow for that. There aren’t any restrooms on the tour, and there’s no way to exit once you’re in. The production quality was great, and the actors were quite passionate. I wouldn’t say it’s a must-do, but it’s a way to pass time while waiting for something more interesting.
Operator response
We can experience larger volume of peasants during peak periods, but Sweeney enjoys giving each and every one of you a VERY CLOSE SHAVE... 🪒🩸 While our prisoners aren't actually trapped forever (despite what the Torturer may tell you!), guests are welcome to leave the experience at any point. If you need to exit, simply speak to one of our actors, who will be happy to assist you in finding your way back to the safety of the modern world. Guest Experience Team The London Dungeon

Very fun theatrical...
Very fun theatrical experience. I think it might be scary for small children. Also, it’s very dark. I understand why but truly there are parts where you’re moving through the exhibits that having some foot lighting would be helpful. I loved the gift shop at the end but I didn’t know I couldn’t go back later to buy gifts. I wasn’t ready to carry things so I didn’t buy the things I wanted and now it’s too late.

Awesome gruesome history
Such an amazing interaction experience that brings the history of London alive. The actors were all incredible
Operator response
You came, you screamed, you survived, and you left us 5 stars! Mrs. Lovett’s officially invited you for dinner (just make sure to bring your own snacks)! Visit us again soon if you dare...🥧🩸
