The London Dungeon

The London Dungeon

History

• The London Dungeon first opened in 1974.
• The experience was initially a free flow walkthrough attraction at Tooley Street.
• The attraction continued to undergo further developments and the Great Fire of London and Jack the Ripper shows were added in the 1980’s and 90’s.
• Eventually, the London Dungeon was re designed into an actor led live tour, rather than a free flowing walk through experience (More actor led shows were added in the 2000’s).
• In 2013, The London Dungeon finally moved to Southbank and is currently located at county hall.
• You can find out more information, including opening times and booking tickets, by visiting their website.

Accessibility

• There are two flights of stairs inside.
• Elevator access is available.
• One wheelchair user will be admitted at a quarter past each hour, because they are only able to admit one wheelchair user per hour.
• Wheelchair timeslots must be accompanied with an attraction ticket.
• They can only admit wheelchairs that are less than 300kg, with both user and wheelchair weight included.
• Wheelchairs must be able to navigate tight angles and uneven flooring, and they must not be over 27 inches wide.
• Unfortunately, they can not admit Mobility Scooters.
• Because this is a 75 minute walking experience, guests will be required to stand for the majority of it. Seating is available in some shows, but due to the nature of the attraction and the demographic of groups, they cannot guarantee priority seating.
• The London Dungeons are now offering BSL Tours, taking place on the second Saturday of every month.
• You can find more accessibility information on their website.
