The London Dungeon



So after we spent our life’s savings buying tickets for Phantom we remembered that we purchased tickets to the London Dungeon that morning. Jemma recommended the dungeons and I was game! I love anything that can attempt to scare me!! Where is it?? I am there. So we ate a quick lunch at Mcdonalds. ( I mean come on its quick and cheap) and hopped on the tube down to the London bridge area.


Since we bought out tickets at the hostel we got to go to the “priority line.” Umm excuse me but this line was just as long as the regular line. The lady told me that the regular line was a 3 hour wait! Oh hell no! I am glad i bought my ticket here. I will not wait in a 3 hour line for nothing. (well maybe a few things)


The “London Bridge Experience,” which was right across the street was working hard to get people to come to theirs. You see, the dungeon had people wrapped around the block for days and their was absolutely no line for the bridge experience. I guess that tells you which one is better. They had great costumes and gimmicks to try to pull people from the lines. Finally it was our turn to go into the dungeon.


It was quite brilliant how they do it. You get into groups and go into rooms that explain London’s history to you. The dungeon was right at the London Bridge and was actually used for prisoners and bodies once. It was quite creepy and still had the small of dead bodies. ;)





It was also educational but in a fun way. They took you back in time to explain the london fire ,and the black plaque and etc. It was quite fun. THey also used people in skits and of course I was chosen for two. The first was in a courtroom and I was being charged for sleeping with a horse. Let’s keep it real this is something I would totally get caught for doing. Ha kidding. The judge was quite funny and I played along to the best of my abilities. I explained to her that I was in love with the horse and that was the only reason I would have intercourse with it. ;) she let me off the hook because she said I was cute. I was supposed to meet up with her later, but to be honest she really wasn’t my type. ;)



Jack the Ripper room was my favorite. I will not give it away in case some of you go but it was fun and it made Caitlin scream at the top of her lungs!! I was chosen for another part where I was burned on a stake. Fire literally engulfed me and my stage even turned around to reveal i had turned into a skeleton burned to death. It was fun. They also had two rides one on a river. It was all quite fun. The last and final ride was new for 2010 it was the gallows. It was just like a drop zone and was super fun. The picture they took was PRICELESS. We looked soooo funny but I was not about to pay 10 pounds for one picture. I defiantly recommend doing the dungeons if you have the chance. They were fun. :)
