Waxworks at the London Dungeon’s old home on Tooley Street.
- It’s a torture museum.
- And not in a a good way - not in a “let us never forget these terrible things in order to ensure that they don’t happen again” kind of way.
- There’s more of a “wow! actual torture!!” vibe.
- Torture is a real thing which actually really did happen and does happen, even these days.
- Glorifying serial killers - actual historical murderers who killed innocent people, not fictional Hannibal Lecters or Dexter Morgans - doesn’t seem like such a good thing to me.
- And it’s certainly not suitable for younger children. The Dungeon now recommends it for ages 12 and over, and doesn’t let in children under 5.
- Also, this is a chain attraction - there are Dungeons across the UK and Europe - so it’s not exactly authentically British or London.
