EVENT

London Dungeon

This is an exciting experience for the kids! Watch London's original escapologist as he plots his next escape from the London Dungeon. Before Houdini there was Jack Shepherd, a petty thief who infamously escaped not one, not two, but four prisons by breaking through ceilings to picking locks! Guests will journey back to 1724 to come face-to-face with Jack at Newgate prison – where he has been caught by the thief catcher for the fifth time – and hear from the audacious convict as he tells the tales of escaping from four prisons.

Alongside escape artist Jack Shepherd, guests will witness 1,000 years of London's dark past bought to life, including other famous villains who escaped the clutches of the law such as Jack the Ripper, to those who were less conspicuous in their escapades such as Guy Fawkes. Prices on the door £30 (adult), £24 (children).
