Left me feeling flat.

I went to the Dungeons as a kid, and remember being enthralled by the the exhibition, which at that time was based on exhibits, much like a museum. At this time it really educated people about the London's gruesome history.
I went again in September 2008 , and was very dissapointed - even when taking into account that my tastes will have developed over the years.
The place has evolved into a series of short performances by actors in an attempt to take the punters through the darker history of London. And it falls very flat. The sets are dull and repetitive, the acting is not up to much and in terms of educational content you'd learn more from an episode of Sesame Street.
In the attractions defence, there were some amusing moments - mainly involving embarassing audience participation. However, the 'boat ride' was out of action, although the 'hanging' ride was amusing for a fraction of a second.
DEFINITELY DO NOT pay the full price - there are a wealth of 2-for-1 offers available, which just about make it worth it at cost of 2 pepole for about £20. Check the internet.
