While at first glance one might ask what the attraction is to the macabre and horrifying, but once you see how much fun it can be the answer becomes evident. We love to be scared, as long as we are safe. And that is what the London Dungeon is all about.
This interactive experience is one of the most popular for young visitors and is a great way to break up the monotony they might feel after being dragged through dusty museum after museum. Taking kids to the Dungeon is a great way to keep then engaged and entertained on the family vacation. There is the Labyrinth of the Lost, which is a maze of mirrors designed to thrill and it is based on the crypt of All Hallows Church. Then after that they can see the Great Plague section which draws it's inspiration from the devastation wreaked upon the city by the Great bubonic plague of London. The place reeks of the damned and actors playing the suffering and dying give spooks and chills to anyone brave enough to venture in. Then if that wasn't enough to frazzle the nerves, visitors get a chance to confront Jack the Ripper in a cold dark alleyway to feel the terror that his hapless victims must have felt as they spied his cold blade just before their bloody demise.
This is just one super fun attraction along with so many others that they are hard to count and the only way to see them all is to make an extended stay in the great City. For all those that find holiday apartment London is a great place to explore the darker side of Britain's history and the you can save tons of money on transportation costs by renting central London apartments which are generally situated closer to the best attractions. Happy Haunting!
