- Wasn't sure what to expect for this experience, but WOW were we very pleasantly surprised!! This was SO MUCH FUN!!! The actors are INCREDIBLE!!! It's very interactive with the crowd too!!! I would definitely do this again! However, younger children might get a bit scared. Wouldn't recommend for kids under the age of 6, in my opinion. So much fun! Go do it!!!

Terrific creepy-fun and very educational - This is a very fun and surprisingly historically educational experience! The acting, framing, and set pieces were terrifically executed and detailed. Chocked full of amazing historical facts, this is so much more than a creepy-fun walkthrough. Audience participation and engagement was wonderful and very welcome, enormously augmenting the experience. My son became overwhelmed by light and sound and the immersive creepiness, despite generally being a fan of creepy, scary, gory, and even jump scares. The actors spotted his anxiety early and kindly, professionally advised us what to do if he decided it was more than he could handle. Huge thanks to the actors and staff for being so very kind and helping us when he decided he wanted to exit early. Everyone was absolutely terrific actors and human beings. Thank you for an all around great experience even whilst navigating an unexpected difficult reaction.

Great day out! - Amazing! The actors are incredible and the setup is fantastic. My youngest at 8 was a bit scared and probably would have been better a few years older but our teenager loved it despite the horror, really enjoyable experience. Would definitely go back again! There is a ride at the end but you have to be 1.4m tall so worth baring in mind.

Excellent theatrics & Great Family Fun. - Excellent, thoroughly entertaining & Fun experience for whole family ( inc teenager ). Booked admission along with London Eye ticket & definitely worth the money. Lengthy visit & welcome break from the harsh February wind & rain. The staff were brilliant & made the whole experience like nothing we’ve done before. Theatrics are fantastic & well worth every penny ( Tesco vouchers ) spent. Would recommend if your looking for a fun break from sightseeing as easy access next to London eye.

Fantastic experience. - I went on Sunday 23rd February 2025. I was petrified but absolutely loved it. The actors are brilliant and you really do get scared a few times. There was too many good bits but I loved the torture chamber, Miss Lovetts Pie shop and then Sweeney Todd’s barber shop. The barber shop scene was the best. You really think he is in there with you. The drop ride at the end was amazing. I will be coming again however with friends so I can latch on to someone haha

This was so much better than I thought it would be! - This was so much better than I thought it was going to be! Really well organised, wasn’t too crowded even though we came in the Easter holiday. The actors were great (especially the witch) but oh my word that was abit scary! Is definitely recommend!

A decent couple of hours - It is a tourist attraction on the Southbank, so of course it will be busy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The actors were great and did a fantastic job. Decent value for what it is.
