Pros:
"Props to the actor for being so professional for a show for 2 people."

"The actors are great and the sets are cool."
"The actors were very good and I think more should be made of them particularly the barmaid at the end."
"The actors were really great and engaging."

"The actors and guides were exceptional in their roles, adding an extra layer of authenticity and excitement."
"The actors were scarier than I thought and I screamed more than I thought I would."
Cons:
"Their accents were more Essex than old London and it felt like they were just going through the motions."
"The historical portion is interesting but short."
"The history part was a bit too scripted."
"Not interactive, quite boring, the actors were as disinterested as we were."
"The actors doubling up and the whole experience being shorter."
"The actors did it with love and care but I personally would have liked way more emphasis on the history."
"I'm a massive horror fan and I enjoy a good scare, but being hyped up as much as it was and then to come out feeling confused with what just happened."
"The actors try their hardest but it's really quite terrible."

"The whole experience lasted 30mins, this is with a 'scary' part."

"I would have been extremely angry to have spent £25 each."
"I would not have gone to this attraction/would have been disappointed."

Location and Accessibility
Pros:
"The place is close to the Burroughs market and right underneath the London Bridge."
"It is a bit tricky to find it is underneath the London Bridge there is a sign on the bridge and go down the stairs and it is there."
"The experience was informative and funny and I got some nostalgia when I saw skeletons shaking cages like in the old version of the London Dungeons."
"I was excited an curious at the beginning."
"It's interactive staff and actors make your time within the tunnels immersive and entertaining, providing humour and a wealth of knowledge."
"The show is divided into two parts, a family friendly part and a scarier part."
"The whole experience is 40-45 minutes maximum and it all felt like a bit of a rush."
"We had a great time! It wasn't necessarily scary, but it was fun well put on and all around A great experience."
Cons:
"It's a very cool place to visit, I had quite a lot of fun there. The first part is the best, the people working there made a very good job."
"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."
"A bit disappointing. An attraction that promotes itself as the scariest."
"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."
