London attractions don’t come scarier than the London Dungeon, especially in the run-up to Halloween. Each October, the South Bank venue launches a brand-new, blood-curdling show in honour of the spookiest time of year. With recent years’ Halloween productions having been inspired by everything from true crime podcasts to a famous Victorian exorcism, 2025’s show focuses on one of spooky season’s most iconic characters: Dracula. The attraction’s first ever Halloween show based on a fictional character, Dracula: A Victorian Nightmare will transport visitors to the decaying Kingstead Cemetery in 1886, with ivy-strangled statues, mossy coffins and eerie soundscapes setting the stage for a terrifying encounter with The Count.
Running from mid-October to the end of the ‘Halloweekend’, the show is included in the standard ticket price – meaning you’ll also come face to face with the infamous Sweeney Todd, a Plague Doctor, Jack the Ripper and Mrs Lovett, among the attraction’s 19 different shows and rides. Just be sure to book nice and early; unsurprisingly, the London Dungeon is rather popular at this time of year.
