The london dungeons is a hair raisng day out for the children, not sure if its a punishment ora treat really. The actors that are in costume are good at catching you off guard and scaring you.
The dungeon shows you historical content in a fun way. Sweeney todd may want to cut your hair, ooh risky, you get to learn all about the great fire of london in 1666, there is a labrynth of the lost, experience the great plague, with smells and sights to match it is full of fun.
It does get very busy and so waiting times can be longer than you would want them to be. The price is not cheap but you can often pick up half price vouchers for the dungeon, so look out for these and then is you find its not as good as you thought at least you will have paid a bit less to get in.The london dungeons is a hair raisng day out for the children, not sure if its a punishment ora treat really.

Tower Bridge was completed in 1894, after eight years of construction and is the most amazing bridge even now. It looks fantastic at night and it was really good to see and learn more about it. The views from the top are incredible. The kids really enjoyed the machinery and hands on displays in the engine rooms. The interactive units that are on the walkways were very good too. The bridge is lifted around 1000 times a year to allow ships and other large craft to pass through, it did so once whilst we were in our car and it was so cool. A family ticket for 2 kids and 2 adults was only Â£14, a bargain for london, do not miss it.Tower Bridge was completed in 1894, after eight years of construction and is the most amazing bridge even now.

HMS Belfast is great and the only way to describe it is as a floating museum. I think itâ¬"s is a really good way of remanding ourselves of the hard work of service men and women by having a real battleship permanently docked on the Thames. Inside the ship is great with loads of interactive video screens and lots of replica parts of a real ship. There is loads of stuff o see like the radar screens and sonar and stuff. Walking on the deck is also really fun as you able to see a lot of the area around the Thames even though you are not very high up.HMS Belfast is great and the only way to describe it is as a floating museum.

vinopolis - wine tasting. My friends thought i had grownup when Itold them. So, no going down the pub on the piss then?

vinolpolis is a one time experience but very pricey at Â£20 or more for the tour packages. Yes you get wine, but it's one sample per voucher and for Â£20, 5 vouchers at half a glass each is not great value. chuck in the one size fits all T-shirt at the end. A big thumbs down for mevinopolis - wine tasting. My friends thought i had grownup when Itold them. So, no going down the pub on the piss then?
