🎟️See The London Dungeon tickets on GetYourGuide →Where it is
The London Dungeon is inside County Hall (the Riverside Building) on Westminster Bridge Road, South Bank, SE1 7PB — right next to the London Eye. That riverside location makes it very easy to pair with the Eye or a walk along the South Bank on the same day out.
What to see
- Live-actor shows: 14+ performances across 360-degree sets, spanning 1,000 years of London's dark history.
- Themed sets: including Sweeney Todd's barber shop, Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel and Newgate Prison.
- A prime South Bank spot: sitting at County Hall right beside the London Eye, so it slots neatly into a wider day out.
- Timed entry with strict age guidance: children under a certain age are not permitted, and under-16s must be accompanied by an adult.
Getting your ticket
Entry is by timed slot, so booking ahead secures the arrival time you want. GetYourGuide is a legitimate route here: it genuinely sells direct admission tickets to The London Dungeon itself, plus real combo tickets that bundle the Dungeon with the London Eye, Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE — these are actual attraction admission, not external walking tours. Official tickets are also available direct at thedungeons.com/london.
One honest note: entry is by timed slot, not a separate "skip-the-line" upgrade. There is no verified standalone skip-the-line product for the Dungeon, so do not pay extra expecting one.
