The London Dungeon invites you to delve into the capital’s blood-curdling history. Live actors, two hair-raising rides, shows and special effects transport you back to those black, bleak times…are you brave enough?

Surgery: Blood and Guts

The legendary attraction with a unique talent for uncovering history's horrible bits lifts the lid on some of the brutal practices of medicine's blood splattered past as Tooley Street's blundering 18th century butcher-surgeon opens the doors to his filthy make-shift operating room. Full of fresh body parts, rusty blood encrusted surgical instruments, puss-ridden bandages, dog eared anatomical diagrams and the discarded or partially dissected corpses of previous patients, this is a dark, dismal and decidedly dangerous place.

As guests gather to witness some of the toe curling therapies commonly used in the days before anaesthetic, antiseptic and patient's charters, the menacing surgeon selects his next patient and straps them securely in to his "state of the art" treatment chair to showcase his skills. First up is a spot of trepanning as a large hand drill is used to bore through the patients' skull to relieve any pressure to the brain. Next a blood letting demonstration will quickly sort the squeamish from the strong before the Surgeon finally pulls out his deadliest tools with blood curdling consequences!

Adding to the gore factor is a "live" dissection on the amazingly "death-like" cadaver of one of the Surgeon's previous patients as horribly realistic intestines and internal organs are carefully removed and examined.

WARNING: THIS SHOW IS NOT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE OF A SQUEAMISH DISPOSITION.

For those who emerge unscathed there's a whole dungeon full of frightening fun. From the Victorian stomping ground of Jack the Ripper to Sweeney Todd's hair-raising barber shop, a hanging inspired drop ride and with plenty of twisted humour, blood, gore and more in between, there's centuries of history's horrible bits to discover.

Extremis: Drop Ride to Doom!
Embark upon your last journey on the Extremis: Drop Ride to Doom! At the mercy of the hangman, you are at the very point of death and the end is drawing near... Taste the fear and feel the adrenaline pump as the trapdoor opens and your heart shoots into your throat as you drop, screaming into the darkness below...
