London Dungeons
Perhaps one of the most terrifying places in London comes to life this year between the 15th and 31st of October. Stingy Jack, the evil mythical character from Irish folklore, has paid a visit. This mysterious chap has been damned by the devil to walk in darkness for all eternity with his turnip lantern and has somehow found his way into the corridors of the London Dungeons!
Even if you manage to evade Jack, you will have to navigate your way through the hellish labyrinth of mirrors before you can escape. If you dare we have London Dungeon tickets right here for your frightening adventure.
