Fodor's Review:

Here's the goriest, grisliest, most gruesome attraction in town, where realistic waxwork people are subjected in graphic detail to all the historical horrors the Tower of London merely tells you about. Tableaux depict famous bloody moments—like Anne Boleyn's decapitation and the martyrdom of St. George—alongside the torture, murder, and ritual slaughter of lesser-known victims, all to a sound track of screaming, wailing, and agonized moaning. There are displays on the Great Plague, the Great Fire of London, and Jack the Ripper; to add to the fear and fun, costumed characters leap out of the gloom to bring the exhibits to life.

Cost: £19.95
Open: Daily; opening times vary slightly, week by week, but generally Sept.-Mar. 10-5; Mar.-Sept. 9:30-6; Aug. and late Oct. 9:30-7; phone to confirm times
Tube: London Bridge
