Zoom in to Aldwych disused Tube station without even stepping outside your front door. New tour dates will be on general sale from 12 February on London Transport Museum’s website. Aldwych, originally known as the Strand, is one of London’s most secret places, holding memories of times gone by. Opened to the public in 1907, it was never as heavily used as originally intended and closed nearly 100 years later in 1994.

iVisit.... London Dungeon Lates

DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND THE LONDON DUNGEON LATES ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER DOSE OF AFTERHOURS SCARES AND LAUGHS! REMEMBER IT'S JUST FOR ADULTS AND INCLUDES A VISIT TO OUR VICTORIAN PUB EXPERIENCE, THE DUNGEON TAVERN.

LATES mashes up live acting, special effects and intriguing storytelling with wit, humour, and plenty of edge of the seat surprises for an afterhours experience like no other!

Before descending into the bowels of the Dungeon, steel your nerves with an authentic Victorian cocktail served by a darkly mischievous barmaid in the decadent Gin Palace Bar.

No trip through London’s dark history can begin without getting fitted by the Tailor, who will hand select an accessory* for you to wear for your journey, perhaps a feather boa for you sir?

After being fitted by the Tailor it's time to leave the modern, working world behind and embark on a thrill filled journey through 1000 years of London's dark past – guided by a cast of London’s infamous rogues and villains.

Meet Sweeney Todd and his evil sidekick Mrs Lovett, escape the Plague ridden streets of 1665 and visit Jack the Ripper’s favoured haunt, the Ten Bells Pub in Whitechapel, finally face your fears on the drop ride before a visit to The Dungeon Tavern.

LATES includes, a Victorian Gin cocktail on arrival, an item of clothing from our dress up wardrobe*, an after-hours adults only tour of the London Dungeon including 11 live shows and Drop Dead Drop Ride,  pies in Mrs Lovett's pie shop and a visit to The Dungeon Tavern**.

iVisit.... Nightwatchers @ Tower of London

After two sold out runs NIGHTWATCHERS will return to the Tower of London November 2016. 

After-hours this place is off limits to most people, but not to us Operative 341. This will be your patch. The people here, your business


NIGHTWATCHERS is an after-hours immersive experience at the Tower of London, directed by award-winning digital theatre company ANAGRAM.

Step into a shadowy world of state surveillance, where messages and phone calls lead you around one of our most notorious prisons; this is your induction into the art of covert investigation. The story dips between contemporary London and the most dramatic years of the Elizabethan secret service.

While faith, violence and the invisible lines between truth and justice collide, you must find your way, guided by the stories of code-breakers, law enforcers and radical religious extremists.

In a climate of global insecurity, who watches the watchers?
