Visit London Dungeon
Take a trip on the terrifying Traitor Boat Ride to Hell, lose yourself in the Labyrinth of the Lost - the world 's largest and scariest mirror maze – and bury yourself in the ancient crypt of All Hallows by the Tower while Jack the Ripper, the Great Plague and Great Fire of London and a host of Wicked Women all clamber at your heels.
Torture, beheading, plague and murder are the main 'attractions ' at this museum celebrating the deepest, darkest parts of British history. In addition to the jaw-droppingly repulsively real animatronics and waxworks, complete with appropriately gruesome sound effects, there are also some (very much alive) costumed actors who are just dying to give you a fright.
An excellent way of fostering an interest in the past, the London Dungeon combines real history, horror and humour to bring gruesome goings-on back to life in the 21st century. Special seasonal events add an extra macabre twist to every visit.
'Surgery: Blood and Guts' New at the London Dungeon
London’s Bloodiest Operating Theatre Opens Its Doors Easter 2009 Guests to the London Dungeon’s newest experience should hold onto their stomachs and repare to witness history’s most horrific blood soaked surgery in graphic, gangrenous detail as Surgery: Blood and Guts opens Easter 2009.
Bloody Mary: Killer Queen
The London Dungeon is turning the temperature up with its latest experience - Bloody Mary: Killer Queen featuring one of England’s most feared rulers – Mary Tudor, the deadliest daughter of Henry VIII. This Killer Queen was nicknamed Bloody Mary for ruthlessly burning 300 Protestants as heretics and the famous scare attraction’s new feature lets guests literally feel the fire of her wrath.
The year is 1556 and fanatically Catholic Bloody Mary is consumed by religious mania - trying and burning at the stake any Protestants refusing to convert to her “one true faith”. Enter Mary’s private Chapel and witness the obsessed and embittered Queen pass judgement on petrified heretics. Once condemned, a slow, painful death awaits and a mix of state of the art special effects will vividly conjure up the flaming sights, piercing screams and charred stench as another helpless victim steps into the pyre to endure one of the most painful forms of execution – being slowly burnt alive.
Did You Know?
It was believed that holding a posy of flowers to the nose kept away the plague and to this day judges are still given a nose-gay to carry on ceremonial occasions as a protection against the plague.
