Seven reasons why you need to check out the London Dungeon this Halloween

If you can handle horror movies like a champ, rarely fall for a jump scare and are even fearless enough to sleep with your leg outside the duvet, you may just about be able to brave the London Dungeon's seasonal séance. Billed the attraction's scariest show yet, you'll be summoning spirts with the help of a medium in hopes of conjuring up an appearance from a ghostly figure named Mary Ann Cotton – a notorious murderer from the 1800s. Expect blackouts, levitating objects and blood-curdling screams (maybe even from you)... 

Exclusive for Halloween 2024, running from 18th October. Included in standard ticket price

Free fall into the unknown with the London Dungeon's iconic drop ride themed around the gallows that sealed the fate of Newgate Prison inmates. Known for scrambling guts and setting off a chorus of harrowing screams, this ride isn't for the faint hearted; strap yourself in and await the sudden surprise drop that could come at any moment. 

Find out what pain and punishment looked like in the 1600s as you're faced with the cruel and unusual methods used to put victims in their place. Get up-close and personal with the torture devices of the past and get the lowdown on what makes people scream, squirm and suffer from none other than the disturbingly talented torturer. 

It's Judgement Day in the London Dungeon's courtroom as the criminal masterminds of the group will be exposed through questioning at the docks. Confess your sins and have your fare decided by the right and honourable Lord Wendy Farquar, who hasn't been known to let people off lightly...

Arguably the Dungeon's most notorious attraction, the Ten Bells pub is open for business (and muderous antics) as Jack the Ripper roams the streets of Whitechapel, ready to take his next victim. The owner of the pub is just dying to tell punters the ultimate ghost story, as well as tales of the famous killer and who he really is. 

All that screaming made your throat a little dry? Good thing The Tavern – London Dungeon's resident watering hole – is the last pit stop of the tour. Settle into a cosy cushioned chair and get your heart rate down after all those scares – with a drink in hand, of course. The menu features beers, spirits (thankfully not the paranormal kind...) and themed cocktails from Hex on the Beach to the punchy Ripper's Revenge. Mocktails are also available and equally as delicious as their boozy equivalent.
