You will most definitely not catch this half of YourHols sleeping the night at London Dungeon, but if you are bold and brave enough you can check-in for B&B this month.
Mrs Lovett, the devious sidekick of Sweeney Todd, is opening the doors of her “meat” pie for B&B for a limited number of stays before Halloween. The stay costs £86 for two people sharing and includes a tour of the London Dungeon and pie and mash supper in the Ten Bells Pub.
Guests will then be tucked in with a bedtime story read by the host herself, then left to survive the night with just a chamber pot and oil lamp. Those who make it through will be rewarded with breakfast of porridge and tea in bed served by Mrs Lovett.
The stays can only be booked through Wimdu.co.uk and co-founder Arne Blackwenn said: “Wimdu.co.uk is all about providing interesting, quality accommodation that offers an experience you wouldn’t receive in a regular hotel. Mrs Lovett is unlike the traditional hosts who list their properties with us, but we simply daren’t turn her away!”
Hywel Mathias, Lovett’s landlord and boss of the London Dungeon added: “Margery Lovett is a true entrepreneur. She’s made her pie shop a roaring success with her innovative recipes and I am sure this new venture will be just as successful. But those who aren’t lucky enough to get a B&B booking can visit her pie shop and sample all the delights of our Halloween season at The London Dungeon every day until November 5. As well as Mrs Lovett and Sweeney Todd there’s a whole cast of characters to meet here.”
Experts at The London Dungeon are putting on a lavish new pumpkin-filled Halloween production. Master of revels is the mischievous Pumpkin Keeper who will be dishing out trick or treat sweeties. Will it be a yummy Chupa Chup or a revolting insect lolly? Then it’s down into the depths of the Dungeon for Halloween encounters with a cast of London’s most infamous names bringing to life 1000 years of London’s Dark past in 18 shows. Special effects, edge of your seat surprises and two exiting thrill rides too.
