    This was a fun experience even though I did expect it to be a little bit scarier than it ended up to be! The rides are entirely optional so you can skip them if you're not into that kind of thing!

    Book in advance and save money, it's fun, a bit scary at some parts, sometimes cheesy, some of the actors have very strong accent but in the end it's interesting in his own way!

    It was much better than I anticipated it to be! The 5D ride was amazing although it would benefit if the guns actually worked. The tour was fun and the other rides were great! Worth the time and money

    It's a great place to bring the older kids to because they make history fun. Note that the actors tend to talk quite fast, hence it can be a little difficult to understand them at times.

    Really fun and worth the price when bundled with other attractions. If you have teenager children it is a must. Take care that they need to be taller than 1.40 m to experience all the rides.

    One of the places I loved at London! Really felt like travelling back in time! I didn't appreciate the awful smell of the london dungeons though. All in all, it was perfect and seriously funny!

    Definitely worth the price. Some of the "characters" are projections, but it's still awesome. A great cast! Jack the Ripper went after me, though. That part of old London can get dicey! :)

    Great attraction for kids. NOT for adults. Too childish. Not scary at all. Great for children up to 13years old to learn about London's history. Even the fast-falling-down ride at the end is childish.

    So much fun! Not that scary and the drop is not a big drop at all and you dont get wet really! Totally worth it but definitely buy your tickets ahead of time online to avoid the queue.

    Get ur education about London's bloody and violent history here, while being frightened for entertainment value. Jack the Ripper, the Black Plague, Sweeney Todd and Guy Fawkes are featured here.

    One of the highlights of our trip. Found it more cheesy than scary but what do you expect? The rides are a nice mix-in to the acted out scenes. Look for coupons!

    I loved it! Jack ripper was the best! You really get to sea the history with your own eyes! And the smells help lol It was totally worth it!

    Great tour. Really enjoyable, a lot of information that is interesting. Book online, you will likely still have to wait in a queue, but it moves relatively quickly.

    Fun and scary half day out. Jack the Ripper exhibit is very good. Book online in advance for good discounts. Great for groups.

    Expensive but really enjoyable! If you book online at least 24h before your visit you get 20% off. The best part is at the end :)

    The new London Dungeon is opening at County Hall on 1st March, and they've just released this scary fun King Henry VIII infographic to go with it! http://bit.ly/London_Dungeon

    Onsite cafe and gifts hop makes for some interesting and novel giftware. Actors and actresses help to make this venue great for kids and adults.

    Some people say the scariest thing here is the queue but, once you get in, there are plenty of sudden jolts and frights on hand to startle and amuse you.

    Perfect experience! Somewhat scary! Great effort to construct all this scenery and organize all these actors

    Getting used to the new location. Preferred the old one seemed a lot less walking. The water ride broke midway and given how wet we got (esp if you sit towards the back) I may skip that next time.

    Remember the feeling you'd get in your stomach when you heard that advert that starts with a guy saying "This is Labrinth"? This place offers a similar experience, but slightly more pleasant.

    Good value with 2-for-1 voucher. The actors are great, more fun than scary. You'll get wet on the boat ride!

    Nice experience, but more to do with history than actually having an adventure. Laser ride was great, apart from useless guns, and the 'hanging' at the end was the best part.

    I was so looking forward to come back to the london dungeon but I was very disappointed to learn that this once spectacular museum became a mini theater I was bored to tears

    This amusement slash horror house never ceases to scare me. I've been many times and its enjoyable in a weird way. Def worth checking out during Halloween.
