The London Dungeon is situated under the expansive Victorian railway arches of London Bridge. It is a light hearted attempt at celebration of torture, death and disease of bygone ages. Visitors are led past varying degrees of vile rotting corpses and other symptoms of the great plague, while trying to pick their way along the dry ice fogged, rat infested pathways. Other things to tempt the horror lovers among you are exhibits featuring the Great Fire of London and the Judgment Day Barge, where the visitors play the part of the condemned.

The experience lasts for 90 minutes and is faciliated through the use of actors, special effects and shows. Everything you see during the experience is based on actual historical events, including, from this Easter, Jack the Ripper. There are also two spine tingling rides to experience.

The London Dungeon is open daily between September and June from 10.30 until 5.30. In July and August, it is open daily from 9.30 until 7.30. For more details why not check out the website at www.thedungeons.com

Are you planning a vacation in England? If so you may want to consider bed and breakfast in London as a cheaper alternative to staying in a London hotel.

Staying in a guest house you will experience varying degrees of comfort from the luxurious down to the passable. To enable you to choose suitable accommodation you will need to understand the star rating system, of which there are several but all follow the same principles. If you are looking for top luxury treatment and surrounding together with that little extra “something” you will need to make a reservation at an establishment rated at 5 stars. If you are looking for excellent quality and good services then 4 stars will do fine (these are not quite 5 star). If you will be happy with something less than this you should choose a 2 or 3 star rated place to stay, these are perfectly fine but may not have the services available in those places rated higher. It is rare to find ratings of only 1 star but they are around and perfectly reasonable for basic bed and breakfast but little more. …read full articles of "Bed and Breakfast in London"
