Cons:

  • "I was underwhelmed by this attraction. It has nothing on London Dungeons."
  • "The first half of the attraction was uneventful and filled with dry jokes."
  • "The first part about 15 minutes walking in different parts with people talking about history of London bridge which in parts is incorrect."

  • "It's basically one of those stupid haunted houses where people jump out and try to scare you."
  • "Not what it seemed like from the description, so we were disappointed."
  • "The first half of this is a brief history of the bridge. Actors play people from the time period and give a fun little speech then you move on to the next one."
