Expect the same fabulous fright fest but in a new location next Spring when the London Dungeon will open the doors of a new venue.
The horror attraction, that takes people through 1,000 years of the capital’s grizzliest history will be relocating to the vast underground vaults of County Hall on the South Bank in March next year.
The all new attraction will feature a host of favourite characters, both old and new, including Sweeney Todd, the infamous Barber, and his evil sidekick, Mrs Lovett alongside Jack the Ripper with one of his unfortunate victims Mary Jane Kelly.
They will be joined by murderous monarch Henry VIII ‘virtually’ played by boisterous British acting giant, Brian Blessed, gunpowder plotter Guy Fawkes and a supporting cast of torturers, plague victims and dark jesters.
A mighty feast of the mad, bad, eccentric and downright strange characters that lived in yesterday London. Guests can also expect close encounters with non-human ‘talent’ including giant cockroaches and the Dungeon’s resident family of scurrying rats!
As well as 18 shows, and innumerable unexpected surprises, the attraction will boast two state-of-the art thrill rides with high-tech surprises guaranteed to get adrenaline pumping. A fast flowing boat ride will see guests condemned by Henry VIII to a turbulent journey along the dank River Thames towards execution.
While on a deadly dark drop ride they will literally be sentenced to ‘take the drop’ as they plunge three stories in the pitch dark. A chilling, screams-guaranteed, Whitechapel labyrinth will baffle guests as they try to escape ‘Jack’ and find their way out of the East End and a strange but fun journey through Balzelgette’s Victorian Sewer system will leave guests in a disorientated spin.
The curtain is set to open on the new attraction on March 1, with the current Tooley Street venue putting on its final shows on January 31 2013. Online booking is now open and those who want to bag the first tickets for this new and unique attraction will save 25 per cent.
Online tickets for adults to the new attraction remain from £15. Children (aged 15 and under) from £8.00 – book at www.thedungeons.com.
