This attraction is a very nice surprise, it starts off as an interactive tour of the history of the bridge (the only way i can describe this section of the attraction is a child friendly version of the london dungeons) which lasts around 20-30minutes you then come to the end of that attraction and are warned that the next section...

Our original plan was to go to The London Dungeon, but as we came out onto Tooley Street from London Bridge station we were greeted by a man in make-up and costume who advised us that the best scare attraction was The London Bridge Experience (before showing us literature with recent tourism awards etc). He initially offered us tickets priced... More

I thought and hoped that I was going to get a proper historical account of the area. Alas, no it was purely a scare experience. But, hey ho, I entered into the spirit of things and it was quite fun to wear a torch on my head. It wasn't scary though, but it did make me laugh. I do know... More

We live close to London so are not "tourists" but decided to have a day out. We were accosted by a guy outside London Bridge Station who told us the London Dungeon is for kids, the London Bridge experience is for adults only (thanks Jack...I don't think so) & is a really scary experience. (If you are 10). After a... More

It's not an epic experience, but the views on and of the bridge are wonderful. I enjoyed the exhibit on different bridges around the world as well. Doesn't take long to see it. Worthwhile. More

We so wish we had not wasted our time with this visit. (Okay, our 13 year old enjoyed it!) We had to wait to go in, wait after we went in, wait after the first scare, wait after that..... I would not recommend this experience, unless you are 13! Definately not suitable for younger children. The only plus perhaps is... More

We are obviously very pleased that your 13 year old enjoyed the visit - and are sorry that you did not share their enjoyment. We note from your title that you regarded it as 'too 'halloweeniefied. The scare aspect is something that is made very clear on the London Bridge Experience website - even using the phrase 'London's ultimate Halloween... More

I took my wife there as part of a trip to London. We pre-booked our tickets and still had to stand in-line for 40 minutes before we got in. We then had to wait another 10 minutes for a number of other visitors to be processed before we got started. After no more than 40 paces and a not so... More

Sorry to learn that you did not enjoy your visit. Reviews are always subjective and probably particularly so at an attraction such as the London Bridge Experience and London Tombs. whilst it would be almost impossible to please every single customer, I believe it is fair to emphasise that surveys of authenticated customers that are fully verifiable have shown a...

Having visited The London Dungeons a few times now, we thought we would try something a little different so approached one of the actors who were roaming outside of the tube station. We were offered discounted tickets at £13.95 each (there were 3 of us - if we were 2 it would have been 2-for-1). To be honest, we were... More

Had a great time at the LBE. We thought the actors really got into the spirit of the occasion. My eight year old wasn't scared as the guardian angel made the final part really exciting as they raced through fighting zombies. More

My daughter (aged 16) and I went to the London Bridge Experience (LBE) because we did not get into the London Dungeon (LD) where we waited nearly 1.5 hours then finally gave up and went to this venue instead. Firstly we were approached by 4 people working for the LBE but strangely none approached us regarding the LD - I... More
