This was a good experience and would attend again. I do feel there was not as much history involved in the first half as I would have liked, it seemed more like it was gearing up for the scare attraction instead. At first I wasn’t aware the London tombs was a scare attraction I just thought it was an experience costume version of the museum (didn’t read the website properly). However, the scare attraction was VERY good and all actors were great. No pictures allowed (sadly, the set design and the atmosphere was incredible! I wish I had pics to commemorate but it did make everyone more engaged). At the start of the experience they do take some pictures of your group that you can buy at the end (£15 each). We were in a group of around 15-20 people which I felt was too many for the scare attraction as you have to move as a group. Anyone in the middle to back doesn’t really get much of the scare as you know it’s coming. It would have been better sending a few at a time through and waiting, but the scare bit was a good length for the cost of the experience. At the end, there is a tiny gift shop and it exits into a bar/pub if you fancy food and a drink. There is also an option to take the “guardian angel” route if you don’t want to experience the scares/if you have children etc which I thought was a nice touch. Definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely fantastic experience. A bit hard to find, mind you, it would of helped if my phone was working right.. We had read it was opposite the station, turned out it was a mile down the road, so we took a stroll down the river Thames which was lovely. Saw a big ship. When we arrived at London Bridge and pay entry, you step into a waiting area with lots of decorations, stuff to read, old artefacts and money. When your slot comes your walked through by a guide, they take you to different themed areas and talk about the times back then. It's quite informative and very theatrical. Then you come onto the tombs, this whole area is decked out in frightening scenes with people jumping out on you, chainsaws (bladeless of course) tight spaces, compressed air, all sorts. Not for the faint hearted, check the website for medical conditions and health concerns, one lady did have to leave before entering. You also have the option to buy a photo they take of you pretending to be frightened, which my wife took the liberty of purchasing for £9... We both wore green, but my green was affected by the green screen which made for a interesting picture.. We'll worth a visit, and look for promo codes, we got 2 for 1 from train ticket purchase. We were also quite blessed with the weather as you can see... 😂🤔☔

I had an absolutely brilliant time here. I really enjoyed the history part and the actors were fantastic! I got picked on twice, which was hilarious/scary. I loved the scare maze part too, be warned, it's probably not for younger children (it would be too much for my 12 year old but perhaps not other 12 year olds), there are a LOT of jump scares, it's very dark, it's cramped but we had a scream of a time! I would say perhaps a little less on the strobe light area as it's so disorientating. A particular actor in the street after the experience made my day as he spent a long time telling us the history of London Bridge and even managed to get us a guide which he said was rare. There are toilets, a bar and food available. We didn't eat but the food did look good and I saw that there was a pool table, darts area and an axe throwing section which was unfortunately closed. Would be great to hang out here after if you drink. Its cool that you can get your photo taken here before the experience by none other than Jack the Ripper! I would reccoment this place if you want a fun and interesting and spooky time! Great for pairs or groups! Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I would have loved for the whole thing to have been a bit longer. Keep up the fantastic work guys!

It was okay and fun. I have nothing bad to say about this place, the actors were good. The best actor for engaging with the crowd was the fellow playing the viking, got a good few laughs from everybody. The lady in the bar at the end was also very good, no comedy but very immersive with eye contact and well paced script. I think the Boudica part is the weakest. The only thing I will say is that there is 0 point going here and also going to London dungeons. London Dungeons actors, stories, and whole general experience is far far superior and much more immersive. At similar prices I just don't see why you'd need to do both. Also one slight issue in my opinion is, for the jump scare part at the end they make you go in a line with your hand placed on the person in front of you 's back. Now this is clearly for safety as it is very dark and I totally understand the need for this but if you are not in the front third of the line then the jump scare is absolutely pointless as you know exactly when it is coming because you hear the others scream. I knew there were clowns etc at the end so I wasn't disappointed by that but I feel like the aesthetic should stay in line with the theme of the history of London. I think it'd be far better if they had like plague ridden beggars pleading with you or Jack the ripper hiding and stalking you etc. Maybe have a room with a fake fire light and people actors panicking trying to escape or put out the fire with policemen and firemen trying to put it out. Essentially a few rooms at the end which you go through and they create a bit of a panic vibe and move you to the next room quickly all as if you are quickly jumping through historic moments in time. Yes is would be less jump scare but it would fit far better and I think would be far more interesting and immersive. In total they should really focus more on the history side of things and not try and compete with dungeons. If more effort was put into scripts and storytelling and maybe props and backgrounds etc and focused on being a historically educating, immersive experience then it would be far more successful. I guess the whole scary thing is what market research shows that pulls in the numbers but with a competitor like dungeons who do it so well I feel LBE is trying to be something it's not in a unreachable attempt to catch up with it's cousin...

The London Bridge Experience & London Tombs offers an exhilarating journey through history and horror, making it a must-visit attraction for thrill-seekers and history buffs alike. My recent visit left me thoroughly entertained, with just a few minor aspects that could be improved.

The Experience: The London Bridge Experience takes you on an interactive tour through the history of London Bridge, blending educational content with theatrical performances. The actors were superb, bringing to life the stories of the past with a perfect balance of humor and suspense. The set designs and special effects were impressive, immersing you in the historical atmosphere. It’s a fascinating way to learn about the history of one of London’s most iconic landmarks.

The London Tombs: The real highlight, however, was the London Tombs. This part of the attraction is not for the faint-hearted. As you descend into the dark, eerie depths, you’re met with a series of terrifying scenes, complete with live actors who do a fantastic job of scaring the living daylights out of you. The attention to detail in the tombs is remarkable, from the creepy props to the spine-chilling sound effects. The jump scares are well-timed, and the overall atmosphere is genuinely frightening. It’s a thrilling experience that will have your heart racing.

What Could Be Improved: While the attraction is undoubtedly thrilling, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly young children or those easily frightened. Clearer warnings and more guidance on the intensity of the experience could help visitors make informed decisions. Additionally, while the interactive historical tour was engaging, some parts felt a bit rushed, leaving little time to fully absorb the information being presented.

Conclusion: Overall, The London Bridge Experience & London Tombs is a fantastic attraction that delivers both educational and adrenaline-pumping experiences. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or a horror fan, this attraction has something to offer. Just be prepared for a good scare! I highly recommend it for those looking for a unique and thrilling day...

We visited the London Bridge and Tower Bridge experience the day before yesterday with our family, and it was an absolutely unforgettable day. These two iconic landmarks offered a perfect mix of history, engineering marvels, and stunning views - a true highlight of our London trip!

We started at the London Bridge, where we explored its deep and fascinating history. The exhibits were well-presented and informative, with a great balance of visuals and storytelling. It’s amazing to think about how many versions of this bridge have stood over the centuries and the stories it holds! Even our kids were completely captivated by the tales of old London and the importance of the bridge throughout history.

Next, we walked over to the Tower Bridge experience, and it completely exceeded our expectations. The glass floor walkways were thrilling — standing above the River Thames and watching the world move below was a unique and slightly nerve-wracking experience .The views from the high-level walkways were breathtaking, offering unbeatable photo opportunities of the Shard, the Tower of London, and the city skyline.

The engine rooms were another highlight. It was fascinating to see the original Victorian machinery that once powered the bridge lifts — a real treat for curious minds both young and old.

What really made the day special was how interactive and family-friendly everything was. Staff were knowledgeable, approachable, and happy to answer questions. There were plenty of engaging displays for all ages, and we appreciated how well-organised everything was, making the whole visit smooth and enjoyable.

Highly recommended for families, history lovers, and anyone wanting to experience a true piece of London’s heritage up close. Both bridges offered something unique, and together they made for a rich, fun-filled day that we’ll be talking about for...
